God’s Word in Scripture is often revealed in
the natural world. The Bible says:
“The heavens declare the glory of God, and
the firmament proclaims His handiwork.”
Psalm 19:2 NAB
Even people who
cannot read or who are uneducated can understand some truths about God by
examining nature.
Take a seed.
Contained in even the tiniest seed is the fullness of the plant that
seed will become. All the seed needs is
air, food, water and sunlight to grow to fulfillment.
In the same way, even before science
discovered genetics and the DNA of each cell, God was showing us through the
seeds in nature that the seed of human life, the embryo, contained the fullness
of the person. Not just a hope or a
promise, but the whole person contained in that little seed.
