God's Creation depends upon God's Grace

God's Creation depends upon God's GraceColossians 1:16 For by him all things were created: things in heavenand on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulersor authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 17 He isbefore all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is thehead of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn fromamong the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things onearth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shedon the cross. - (NIV84)Matthew 4:3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You arethe Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4 ButHe answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone,but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ God’s creation depends upon God’s grace1. Vegetation needs good soil, light and rain to flourish2. Creation came into being through Him and for Him3. God was present in His creation from the beginning4. When sin hid God mankind build temples to find Him5. It will finish as it started: God will be among His people
