God, Creator and Saviour

Man, intelligent and sensitive creature has not stopped to extend his knowledge of the visible world, and nowadays we can only be amazed in seeing how many secrets man liftens step by step in spheres which were unknown up until now; in the same way we admire the applications he pulls out and of which he benefites. Let us imagine daily life without electricity.

However, if the human being has such high capacities and such big aspiration, if his intelligence pushes him to try to understand the whole world, God's work is to immense for human thoughts to embrase it from the beginning to the end. The greatest human spirits set upon it, but they only lift tiny corners of the veil which the immense universe and its laws hides.

There is only a rest in this exhausting search for him who simply believes in a God who revealed himself in his word, the Bible. He knows that originally God created everything well and that in the end God's glory will appear perfectly after the evil will have been removed. God created the worlds and he sustains them. He also offers salvation to men by the work of redemption.
