Were You Created By God?

Welcome to the GOSPEL Journey discussion. These posts are to help you engage with the central message of the Bible. This week, we will be dealing with the statement: God created us to be with Him. Comment. Question. Agree. Disagree. Either way, let us know what you think.

Were You Created By God?

We see that God created Adam and Eve (Genesis 1 & 2). He was actively part of their formation. But what about us? Are we just the product of our parents, or was God involved in our creation as well? Take a look at what David says in Psalm 139:7-18 and then answer the following questions:

1. Can a person escape God's presence? Can a person escape God's notice?
2. Who formed you in your mother's womb?
3. Consider a part of your body (hand, mouth, eyes, whatever). How is it wonderfully constructed? Would you classify the construction of your body as miraculous?
4. What does verse 16 say about your arrival? Did it surprise God or did He see it coming?
5. What does the fact that God sees all, that He created you, that He anticipated your coming and that He thinks of you say to you about the way you should relate to Him?

Our third child was quite unexpected to me and Charity. However, no one can ever say that Karis was an "accident." This passage says that though we weren't expecting her, or trying for her (actually taking meausures to ensure the opposite!), God knew she would enter our lives on August 29, 2005. He knew it before she was conceived. In fact, He has all her days recording in His book already.

When you arrived on this globe, you did not come into existence unbeknownst to God. He was not just aware of your arrival, but He is the One who formed you. He wants you here.
