(2 Peter 1:4-9) “By this he has given us that precious and exceedingly great promise, that through this promise you will escape (forsaken) the corruption in the world through lust, and those who are partakers of the divine nature. Therefore, be more diligent, supplying to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. This is enough for you, so that you do not become sluggish and unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ; but whoever does not have these things is blind, lack of vision, and has forgotten the cleansing of his old sins.”
1. The development and evolution of human civilization took place only in God.
1) The development of scientific civilization was made under the premise that the principles, rules, and order of the universe did not change.
- The laws of thermodynamics prove it.
* The first law of thermodynamics states that energy in any system changes in form but does not change in quantity.
* Since the creation of the universe, all energy in the universe has not changed.
* A living tree has energy, but as it dies and rots, that energy is transferred to the ground.
* Energy exists in all beings in the universe. : People, animals, objects, and planets
* Man developed civilization using such energy sources.
* All civilizations enjoyed by humans have developed based on the principle of immutability of energy.
* The energy of light and heat of the sun is enormous. It converts that light into battery energy.
* Energy of uranium Generates electricity using the heat generated during nuclear fission.
* All electronic products use this immutable physical principle to make life convenient.
* All civilizations enjoyed by humans are principles through energy.
* If these principles, order, and rules of the universe change at once, everything becomes useless.
2) The second law of thermodynamics is a change in the form of an energy source.
- All beings make changes in types with the passage of time. : increase in entropy
* The hot water cools with the passage of time, and its energy flows into space.
* That is, water does not heat up over time without another energy source.
* As time passes, the grass dries up and the flowers fall, changing the type of energy.
* All beings are so thoroughly subject to the laws of thermodynamics.
* As time goes by, people change their appearance and eventually change their shape and return to the soil.
* All machines and tools gradually lose their original function as time goes by.
3) All these laws of thermodynamics remain unchanged from the beginning. : God's Creation
(1 Peter 1:24-25) “Therefore, all flesh is like grass, and all its glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” This is the gospel that was preached to you.
- Everything in the world is in the principles, rules, and order of God's creation in the first place.
* The world is changing and civilization is constantly evolving, but the Word of God is eternal.
(Genesis 1:1-3) “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, and the earth was formless and empty, and darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of God moved on the waters. And God said (said) Let there be light, and there was light. ”
* The principle of creation and extinction is creation by God.
* God created the heavens and the earth with His Word, and His Word is eternal.
- Man lives thoroughly in God regardless of faith or unbelief.
* Only those who believe and obey all these things
* with those who believe and do not obey
* As a non-believer, we simply live in disobedience.
2. God always fulfills his purpose according to his plan.
1) All people risk their lives for their own earnest purpose.
- Many explorers and adventurers take risks with their lives as collateral.
* To that extent, people are focused on achieving and achieving what they want.
* All of us living in the world are adventurers about the unseen future.
* Do your best to achieve your goals and desires. : Here we are
* However, the target of the passion is different for each.
* And boldly remove the obstacles to one's purpose. : cell phone incident
- God fulfills the man he created according to his plan, regardless of man's purpose.
* God makes it possible to remove or modify any obstacles that hinder his purpose.
* Sometimes through floods, sometimes by fire and brimstone, sometimes by war and land attack.
* Sometimes he uses the stick of man and the whip of life.
(2 Samuel 7:14) “I will be his father, and he will be my son. If he sins, I will discipline him with a human rod and a human whip.”
2) If you really believe in God, then adapt yourself to God.
- Have a passion for God.
* The most valuable and meaningful thing a person has is what he does in God.
* If you put the Word of God within yourself and adapt yourself to Him, you will experience surprises.
* They will have the eyes of God.
* You will know the thoughts of God.
* And you'll find out what's really worthwhile and worthwhile to do.
※ And as a Christian, you will become a godly person.
