The power of God is seen not only in creation but also in salvation (Rom. 1:16).
Paul wrote, “But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” (Eph. 2:4-8).
The seed of woman, Christ, defeated Satan by the power, love and justice of God.
By God’s power, Christ was sacrificed for the sins of man. “Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain” (Acts 2:22, 23).
And God’s justice was served in the redeeming power of the blood of Christ (Eph.1:7). The grave could not hold Christ for he came forth from the grave (Acts 2:21, 32). He was triumphant over death giving mankind the hope of the resurrection.
Paul wrote, “But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming” (I Cor. 15:20-23).
The Corinthian brethren were reminded by Paul to keep in memory the Gospel of Christ, for by it they were saved.
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures” (I Cor. 15:1-4).
It is by God’s power the world continues today.
“But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men” (II Peter 3:7).
The power of God is seen in nature as mankind explores the creation of God. The earth and the heavens serve as a reminder of the creative power of God. God will not force man to believe in him, but he has shown himself to man in the power of his creation (Rom. 1:20, 21).
Man may deny God’s work choosing to believe in evolution, they may scoff at a God who loves them enough to send a Savior who willingly gave himself for man believing that man is no better than the animals who have no soul, but they will not be able to escape the reality of God’s justice on the day of judgment.
God is infinite in his power, his love and his justice.
