9. The Omnipotence of God
The Omnipotence of God |
|
When contemplating on the physical resurrection, we put ourselves a
natural question: For a lifeless body there is no more return: once decomposed, this can’t be restored any more or recreated. But let’s consider how this has been created. When remembering where man originates from and in which way he came into existence, we’ll find the following answer: ”7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” (Genesis 2.7) Thus we learn that dust is the substance or base material of which man consists of. By the breath of life received from God, the man became a living soul. When dying, this process is just the opposite: the body returns to earth, while the spirit turns back to God. The inspired word says:
”1 Remember now thy Creator in
the days of thy youth ... (Ecclesiastes 12.1,7) If God had had the power to make man of the dust of the ground, then with the same power he will create again the bodies of the ones who passed away. Moreover, at one by God decided time, known only by him, it will happen something incredible: ”52 The dead shall be raised incorruptible”! (1 Corinthians 15.52) |
