Creation relates only to the Creator.
Nothing exists for itself; no one exists in isolation from others – except rebellious sinners, who then lose their only validity, which is God. We are not our own meaning and without God we are irrelevant.
Without God our world, its commerce, its industrious activities, its governments and its institutions become vanity and vexation of spirit, as motiveless as the wind that blows from south to north and back again (see Eccl 1:6).
“You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power;
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being.” (Rev 4:11)
The heavens declare God’s glory and his word articulates it. That is the word we preach, the good news we share. There cannot be any other word; only one word can be true, just as existence can have only one reason and only one meaning.
The unchangeable truth is that if the world does not relate to the gospel, it relates to nothing. If the world has nothing to do with the Church of Jesus Christ, it is nothing and going nowhere.
