Adventistische Schriften über: "What does creation teach about the Creator?"

Creation reveals God as a personal being of infinite power, wisdom, and love, whose character is reflected in nature. The works of nature serve as a "learning book" that testifies to the self‑less care of the Creator and shows that the law of love is the principle of life for heaven and earth. Although sin has marred the perfection of creation, the beauty of the world and nature’s adaptation to our needs still bear witness to God's grace and His intention to make His children happy.

God's Character in Nature

»The things of nature are an expression of God's character; through them we can understand His love, His power, and His glory; but we must not regard nature as God. ... While nature is an expression of God's thoughts, it is not nature that is to be exalted, but the God of nature.«

The Message of Divine Love

»He filled the earth with beauty and the air with song. And to all things in the earth, the air, and the heavens He wrote the message of the Father's love. Now sin has marred God's perfect work, yet this handwriting remains. Even now all created things proclaim the glory of His excellence.«

Creative Power as a Mark of Divinity

»Creative power is the distinguishing characteristic of divinity. ... The earth was created by His power and established by His wisdom. But Christ is "the power of God and the wisdom of God." Thus we also find Christ here inseparably linked with creation as the Creator.«

God's Handwriting in Science

»Every true science is nothing other than an interpretation of God's handwriting in the material world. Science, through its research, brings forth fresh evidence of God's wisdom and power. Properly understood, both the book of nature and the written word make us acquainted with God.«
