When Were We Created?

When we do our daily devotional with God based on ODB, we can not avoid seeing repeated subject matters as there are 365 days to a year. In other words, certain themes may be spoken about again and again, although the writing or the content may be fresh. We face the same issue with satellite pay TV when compared against user generated content in YouTube. We in pay TV used to be the Goliath with more than 100 channels compared to terrestrial TV, but now we are the David when compared against the sheer immensity, depth, and how current YouTube content is. Totally no match!

Thus today’s ODB speaks about the fact that the universe has a creator and the creator is God. However the twist is that Jesus was also there at the beginning. That God created the universe and entire cosmos together with Jesus Christ the Son. So even though Jesus appeared on earth through the virgin birth of Mary about 2,000 years ago, He existed well before the foundations of the world.

Which brings us to the question this morning? When were we created? Did we only come into existence when our father’s sperm and our mother’s egg became one? Did we come into existence only at conception? Our physical human body only came into being at conception, which is undeniable. However, our spirit was created only then, too? Is it at the point of the conception of our human physical body?

In Ephesians 1:4 Paul declared that God chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight. Meaning to say that even before the physical world, the universe and the cosmos, were created by God, He had already created us in the spirit. Our existence as spiritual beings even predates the creation of the first physical man, Adam that even as God gave him breadth after making him from the soil of the earth, his spirit had already existed in the spiritual realm. We will one day be sure of this when we meet God.

In the meantime, I just like to encourage everyone again that we are all special and unique in the eyes of God. He loves each and every one of us like a father and mother love every single one of their children. We may have a few offspring but God has billions and yet He loves each and every one of them.

Blessed Sunday, everyone! As we dwell in God’s presence today, know that you are loved dearly by God and there is nothing that He will not want for us if it is in His will. He always wants the best for us. Trust Him with all our heart, our mind and our strength for He is our God and we are His children!
