“…do people know where to find WISDOM? Where can they find UNDERSTANDING? God alone understands the way to wisdom; He knows where it can be found, for He looks throughout the whole earth and sees everything under the heavens…this is what GOD SAYS to all humanity: The FEAR OF THE LORD is true wisdom; to FORSAKE EVIL is real understanding.” (Job 28:12, 23-28) To understand “wisdom” we need to know this, “Has not God MADE FOOLISH the wisdom of this world?” (1 Corin. 1:20) In another place it says, “the wisdom of this world is FOOLISHNESS WITH GOD.” (1 Corin. 3:19) British philosopher, Dr. Antony Flew, WAS a leading spokesperson for ATHEISM (lack of belief in the existence of God). However, scientific discoveries of DNA brought him to a conclusion he could not avoid. In an interview in 2004 he stated, “Super-intelligence (Godly wisdom) is the only explanation for the origin of life and the complexity of nature.”
DNA is made up of four chemicals, abbreviated as letters A, T, G, and C. Much like the ones and zeros in a computer. What is amazing is that within the tiny space IN EVERY CELL in your body, this code is THREE BILLION LETTERS LONG!!! To grasp the amount of DNA information in one cell, a reading of that code, at a rate of three letters per second, would take thirty-one years.
“…the LORD God FORMED (yâtsar: fashioned or framed) MAN of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became A LIVING BEING.” (Gen. 2:7) NOW THAT IS WISDOM!!! We are God’s HANDMADE creation. “You FORMED MY INWARD PARTS; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.” (Psa. 139:13-14) Not only that, He loves us so much that He wants us to PERSONALLY and INTIMATELY know Him NOW and spend eternity with Him. Jesus said, “For God SO LOVED the world that HE GAVE His only Son so that everyone who believes in Him WILL NOT PERISH but have eternal life.” (John 3:16) Jesus came so that each of us could know and understand God in a VERY PERSONAL WAY. Jesus ALONE can bring each of us, meaning and purpose to life.
