Gen 3:17  And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree (of the knowledge of good and evil), of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

‘Law & Order Written on Our Hearts’

“For not the hearers of the law are just before God,

.

but the doers of the law shall be justified.
.

For when the Gentiles, which have not the law,

.

do by nature the things contained in the law,

.

these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
.

Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts,

.

their conscience also bearing witness,

.

and their thoughts the mean while accusing

.

or else excusing one another…”

Roman 2:13-16

.

.

It is so interesting to hear a debate between evolutionists and creationists!

.

And one of the most interesting and effective arguments made by creationists is this: “If life is merely the result of some cosmic explosion, then everything is meaningless and there is no objective morality. In other words, if there is no God, then right and wrong, good and bad are simply what anyone decides and chooses to believe!

.

And of course, this bleak and hopeless reality of life’s meaninglessness (if God didn’t exist), really baffles and deeply disturbs atheists, who must “keep a stiff upper lip” (as the old saying goes). Yes, if life is meaningless as they insist, then everything is just hopeless! No wonder the suicide rate is so high!

.

But in such debates, atheists don’t want to admit that their godless philosophy is a very sad and hopeless one, to say the least.

.

And yet, atheists argue that their own life has whatever meaning they wish to invent for themselves.

.

But in spite of their hopeless philosophy, atheists still have a sense of right and wrong. They still try to live orderly and morally to some degree.

.

So what is it that makes the majority of humans desire to have morality and order in their lives? There seems to be a great contradiction in their lives.

.

Perhaps the great contradiction which atheists do not realize is found in today’s signature passage…

For when the Gentiles, which have not the law,

.

do by nature the things contained in the law,

.

these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
.

Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts,

.

their conscience also bearing witness,

.

and their thoughts the mean while accusing

.

or else excusing one another…”

Roman 2:13-16

.

So, this passage reveals that God’s Law is actually written in the hearts of all humans. Yes, there is an innate understanding of good and evil which God has written upon the tablets of the human heart.

.

.

.

.

.

.

“Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled”

Titus 1:15

.

But this above verse also reveals that unbelievers all have minds and consciences which are defiled by sin. And so, it is no surprise that the unbelieving world behaves so badly, so often!

HEAVENLY OBJECT LESSON

.

“Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.” Isaiah 24:23

.

When God created the Moon and the stars, He ordained them to “rule the night” (Gen. 1:16). The Moon, especially when it is full, can light your pathway through the night, as it reflects the light of the Sun.

.http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Um_moinho_dominando_a_ba%C3%ADa_%C3%A0_luz_lunar.jpg

So too, the Christian is to be a light to the world: to this sin-darkened world. But as the Moon must reflect the light of the Sun, in order to be a light to the world, so also must the Christian reflect the light of Jesus, to be a spiritual light to this planet in rebellion. Listen…

.

“Ye are the light of the world…Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16

.This is a drawing of a winter-time total lunar eclipse, first published in Bilder- (Picture Atlas of the Stemenwelt) in 1888

However, during an eclipse, the Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon, preventing that sunlight from shining on the Moon’s face. This is an incredible object-lesson about when the child of God allows the world to come between him and his Lord. Like the eclipse, that person no longer reflects the light of Jesus, because his or her love of this dark world of sin has eclipsed the light from the “Sun of Righteousness” (see Malachi 4:2).

.

And so, this is just one of the many poetic truths seen in the Moon. (For more on this subject of an eclipse, you may link to the article… “Lunar Eclipse & Spiritual Eclipse”)
