Immutable Laws of Nature
We all know that there are laws in science. The well-used laws of science lead to constant technological advances. The more we know, understand, and harness those laws the faster, smaller, and more powerful & efficient our technology becomes.
But for just a moment, think about where those laws came from. Immediately we as believers know that they came from the Almighty God who spoke into existence this Universe, overflowing with the laws of thermodynamics and electromagnetism that frame everything. God invented, instituted, and maintains those very laws of science that every scientist lives by and works with.
The laws of electromagnetism have led humans to understand the spectrum of light, sound, and all other known waveforms. So much so that we can study, measure, and eventually use the various lengths & speeds of these waves, which include the tiny realm of visible and hearable waves of sound and light.
Waves of electromagnetism go in both directions on the spectrum so far studied, from the super large and slow waves (like radio waves) to super small and fast waves (gamma rays).
Someone Made Those Laws of Nature
But all of these observed scientific laws are just that: laws humans have observed and not created. We build our technology on the reality that, these laws of nature donāt change, they just remain constant.
God made laws that frame every process of the Cosmos. God decided everything: from the wavelengths of electromagnetic energy to the water-based forms of life, to the composition of the various types of stars, and the formations of galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and the dynamics of every particle in the atomic world.
The Absolute Laws of Nature are Godās Signature
Universe-wide laws are part of the signature of God. Who or what else can set the rules, that regulate the nature of everything? Only God can. The Creator God of the Bible did all those things by a Word. Hebrews 11:3 (NKJV) says that āthe worlds were framedā by the words of Christ Jesus, Almighty God the Son.
By faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God so that the things which are seen were not made of things that are visible.
God āframedā the same laws that govern the fusion of hydrogen atoms at the core of our Sun, that heat and light this world every day, and the same laws that make water freeze top down so that marine life can exist through the winter, also extend into events on earth.
Human life is also governed by very powerful laws set in motion by God, and He has simplified those laws in His Word so that we can know what will happen and not be deceived. Those laws are about consequences in the short term and calamities in the long term.
Godās Word repeatedly illustrates that there will always be both a temporal and an eternal consequence, for each choice that we make. Let me explain them as we turn to Galatians 6:7-8, verses that we all know so well. These principles are best known as the:
