Confirmation

Lesson 7

The universe shows us that there is a god (intelligent design).

Romans 1:20For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without

excuse.

Our conscience points out that there is a God.

Romans 2:14-16The Message

14-16 When outsiders who have never heard of God’s law follow it more or less by instinct, they confirm its truth by

their obedience. They show that God’s law is not something alien, imposed on us from without, but woven into the very fabric of our creation. There is something

deep within them that echoes God’s yes and no, right and wrong. Their response to God’s yes and no will become

public knowledge on the day God makes his final decision about every man and woman. The Message from God that I proclaim through Jesus Christ takes into account all these

differences.

God is intelligent and loving. God is holy and has put a conscience within us to put us on the path to do what is right.

What things can we learn about God from creation and conscience?

How to get rid of sin. Did God provide a

solution to sin? What is God’s solution to mankind’s problems? Who is our Savior?

What can’t we learn?

God desires us to seek him out

throughout our lifetime.

Natural Knowledge

Isaiah 55:6-7

Common sense demands that there is a God. People desire to know who God is.

right in its conclusions (Flat earth).

Creation and evolution compared

them each a soul.

Evolution says: A big bang and

then 3.8 billion years ago a single-cell organism has become the ancestor of every living thing.
