Psalm 95:6–7c (ESV) — 6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!
7 For he is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture,
and the sheep of his hand.
NOTE: We are all his
creation, but we are no longer all his children or his people. We lost that
designation in the garden when we rebelled against the creator. God has
designated Israel and the church as his people. And those who place their faith
in Jesus are the only ones on earth who can say they are God's children since
the bible tells us that those who believe in Jesus are adopted into God's
family. We all have the offer of salvation and the opportunity to be adopted
into the family of God. But those who refused have no status with God outside
of being his creation. And as the creator, he can do whatever he wants to his
creation, even destroying it. The creation has no rights apart from what the
creator allows. For a time now, he is allowing it to continue in the desire for
people to turn from their sin and join the family of God. But there is coming a
time, where he will judge the people of the earth and destroy the creation.
Will we respond or will we persist in our sin?
