Go! and Trust the Omnipotent God of the Bible – Not Human Theory
Introduction:
Let me begin with a simple question: Who will you trust—an all-powerful, all-knowing, eternal God… or the constantly changing, often contradictory theories of limited human beings? Today, our world is confused, anxious, and spiritually starving because it is trusting human theory instead of divine revelation.
The Bible begins with the most foundational statement ever written:
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
— Genesis 1:1, NLT
Everything in Scripture flows from this truth. Everything in life flows from this truth. And everything in your salvation flows from this truth.
If God is the Creator, then God is the Owner.
If God is the Owner, then God is the Authority.
If God is the Authority, then God is the Judge.
And if God is the Judge, then we desperately need a Saviour.
This is why today’s message matters:
If you trust the wrong foundation, your entire worldview collapses.
Genesis 1:26–27 (NLT): "Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.” So God created human beings[c] in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."
This is not poetry. This is not myth. This is historical revelation from the omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent God.
1 — The Omnipotent Creator Is the Only True Explanation for Reality
Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
“In the beginning” (Hebrew: berešit) — the very start of time, space, and matter.
“God” (Hebrew: Elohim) — plural of majesty, hinting at Trinity even here.
“Created” (Hebrew: bara) — to create out of nothing; an activity only God can do.
Humans can reshape things—but only God creates something out of nothing.
Genesis declares God as sovereign over all creation, making human speculation secondary and flawed.
If God can create everything from nothing, then God can handle your difficulty, your sickness, your prodigal child, your financial struggle, your fear, and your future.
John Piper: “God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.”
We cannot be satisfied in a God we do not trust. Piper helps us see that trusting God as Creator strengthens satisfaction in God as Lord.
2 — Human Theories Change, but God’s Word Never Changes
Psalm 119:160 (NLT): “The very essence of your words is truth; all your just regulations will stand forever.”
“Essence” (Hebrew: rosh) — foundation, head, sum total.
“Truth” (’emet) — firmness, certainty, reliability.
Scripture is not 60% truth, not mostly truth—It is truth in its very essence.
Human Theory vs Divine Revelation
Human explanations about origins—such as evolutionary theory—change constantly. But real truth doesn’t evolve. Real truth is unchanging because its source is unchanging
Malachi 3:6 (NLT): "I am the Lord, and I do not change. That is why you descendants of Jacob are not already destroyed."
When culture shifts, you stand firm by standing on Scripture.
Charles Stanley: “Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him.”
Stanley reminds us that obedience is built on trust—trust in a God whose truth never shifts with culture.
3 — Only Genesis Explains the Image of God in Humanity
Evolutionary theory can attempt to explain biological variation—but it cannot explain personhood.
It cannot explain moral conscience.
It cannot explain eternal souls.
It cannot explain the image of God.
Genesis 1:26 (NLT): Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”
“Image” (Hebrew: tselem) — representation, reflection; like a king placing statues to represent his rule.
“Likeness” (Hebrew: demût) — resemblance in nature, not physical appearance.
We are not accidents. We are not cosmic flukes.
We are intentional image-bearers of an eternal God.
Psalm 8:3–5 (NLT): “You made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honour.”
David marvels at the dignity of human life—not because of human achievement but because of divine design.
Your worth does not come from your performance, achievements, or job title—It comes from being created in God’s image.
R.T. Kendall: “You are not what you have done; you are what you are in Christ.”
Kendall brings the doctrine of creation into the doctrine of redemption: Our identity comes from God’s design and Christ’s saving work.
4 — Creation Points to Christ, and Christ Points Us Back to Creation
John 1:1–3 (NLT): “In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him.”
Jesus is not merely Saviour.
He is Creator.
He is Sustainer.
He is Lord of creation and new creation.
“Word” (Greek: Logos) — divine self-expression, wisdom, logic, and creative power.
Christ is the logic behind the universe.
Christ is the reason creation exists.
Christ is the Redeemer because He is the Creator.
When you trust Christ, you are trusting the One who spoke galaxies into existence.
Tim Keller: “If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all He said; if He didn’t, then why worry about anything He said?”
The Creator who became Redeemer validates His Lordship by His resurrection, proving He is trustworthy.
5 — Trusting the Creator Is the Foundation of Faith
Hebrews 11:3 (NLT): “By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.”
Faith is not blind.
Faith is based on the reliability of the One who created everything.
Hebrews was written to persecuted believers tempted to compromise their faith.
The Author reminds them: the God who created the universe will sustain you.
If God could create the universe by His word, He can keep His promises to you today.
Max Lucado: “You’ll get through this. It won’t be painless. It won’t be quick. But God will use this mess for good.”
The Creator is not distant. He is involved, active, sustaining, shaping, redeeming.
The Master Watchmaker
A man once found a wristwatch on a forest path. He picked it up, examined it, and said,
“It must have formed over millions of years by random chance.”
Impossible. Every watch has a watchmaker.
Every painting has a painter.
Every building has a builder.
Every creation has a Creator.
And every soul has a Saviour.
The Jigsaw Puzzle Without the Box
Imagine trying to assemble a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle with no box lid—no picture to guide you. The pieces wouldn’t make sense.
Human theories begin with the pieces but without the picture.
The Bible gives us the “box lid”—the true picture of origins, purpose, morality, eternity, and salvation.
THE GOSPEL – The Creator Became the Crucified Saviour
Creation sets the stage for redemption.
Because God is the Creator,
Human rebellion is cosmic treason.
Sin is not weakness—it is war against our Maker.
But God did the unimaginable:
The Creator entered His creation.
Jesus Christ – His Work for Us
He lived perfectly—image of God without flaw.
He died sacrificially—bearing the punishment for our sin.
He was buried—truly dead in our place.
He rose again—defeating death with omnipotent power.
He reigns as Lord—Creator and Redeemer forever.
Only the Creator can recreate a sinful heart.
Only the Omnipotent One can save.
CALL TO REPENTANCE AND FAITH:
Church, hear this clearly:
You cannot trust human theory to save your soul.
You must trust the Creator who became your Saviour.
Today, God calls you to:
Repent — turn from sin, self-rule, pride, unbelief.
Believe — place your faith fully in Jesus Christ.
Surrender — acknowledge Him as Creator, Redeemer, Lord.
INVITATION TO SALVATION:
If you have never surrendered your life to Christ, today is the day.
Pray:
“Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Creator.
I believe You died for my sin and rose again.
Forgive me. Save me. Make me new.
I surrender to You as my Lord and Saviour.”
BENEDICTION / EXHORTATION:
Go into this week trusting the God who created you,
the Christ who redeemed you,
and the Spirit who empowers you.
May you walk confidently in the truth that
you are made in God’s image, saved by God’s Son, and sustained by God’s power.
Amen.
