And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
-Acts 17:26
How great is your love oh Father, that you have adopted a sinner like me as your child! From the beginning you have shown the things that foreshadows your will for mankind. Although, we are not worthy but you accepted us as your very own. Is there any gift that can surpass your grace? Surely, there is none.
Oh Lord! You are worthy of your praise! Your power far exceeded what our mind can perceived. For who can tell the things to come? You alone, oh God! Your ways are infallible, how can we know it? For there is no one who can divide the nations of the world and set their boundaries among them. There is none but you Lord!
Awake, oh you sleepy Christians! Awake and take heed to the voice of the Almighty! Don't you know that the coming of our Savior is nigh? Awake, oh you wearied saints! Awake and give honor to the Most High! Don't you know that he made you dwell in the land of milk and honey?
When you said, you shall be destroyed for your iniquities and it was. When you said, I will gather you again in my name, behold, it came to pass. Then, you said I will make one blood all the nations of men and it was so. Both Jews and Gentiles who believed in your Son Jesus Christ became one. Therefore, we will magnify your name forever for the salvation you have freely given!
When you said, let the waters be gathered together and it was. When you said let their be land, behold it came forth out of void. Then, you said let not the waters go beyond its bounds and it was so. How magnificent is your power, oh God, and there is none before you! Thus, we will magnify your power and glory with godly fear and trembling!
Is there anyone who can tell accurately the future? Or, is there anyone who can ordained the habitation of men before time? Surely there is none but you alone Lord! But with all your glory and excellence, why would the omnipotent God would like us to be his own? Why the Most High God would still look with love to those who continually profaned his Words? Indeed, sinners like us were not even worth saving.
Oh death where is your sting? Oh grave where is your victory (1 Corinthians 15:51)? Surely, there is no greater day like the day when you redeemed us through your only begotten Son, oh Father! A gift that the world cannot give nor a man cannot achieve to save himself. A sweet redemption that made all the nations of men under one blood. The same unblemished blood that was shed by the Lamb of God (Revelation 5:8-13), wherein we are forever be called the "children of God (John 1:12)."

Does God Exist?
An a man exist out of random circumstances? How can something emerge out of nothing? Surely, an intelligent Creator designed the things of this vast universe!
A wise man will say, "Alas! The world is beautiful! A wondrous creation of God." While a fool will say, "Alas! The world is beautiful! It's a lucky chance that it turned everything this way." Oh you fool, did you ever think that a one big luck made the earth a habitable place?
A wise man will say, " A can of soda is a fine innovation of an intelligent craftsman. It was designed for ease and satisfaction of its user." However, a fool will say, " A can of soda is a fine evolution of natural selection. It came from a tin which for billions of years evolved into a cylindrical can. Eventually, for another billions of years, it developed a red pigmentation with white stripes on it and a label "Coca-cola" suddenly appeared. Oh you fool, have you ever wondered why the eyes were placed on the head and not on the sole of your feet?
A wise man believed that God does exist, for he experienced his love, compassion and even his rebukes and chastisement on his daily life. On the other hand, a fool believed that God is just a shadow of man's futile fantasy, a figure created by his own playful imagination. Oh you fool, because you never seen him so you don't believed on your Divine Creator? Have you ever thought why you call the invisible gust of air, "wind", even though you never seen it? How long will you believed only on what you can see and not what you feel and experience? Truly you are blinded by your arrogance.
The wise will praise the Most High for he molded him on his own image. God, who created all things (Acts 17:24) has given man the authority to rule over them. While a fool will boast of his luck. He believed that he evolved in similitude of apes but with higher intellect than other beasts. Tracing back his origins from gazillion random chances, which made him a sophisticated and far superior ape than his brothers (the chimpanzees, orangutans, sloths and the likes). Oh you arrogant, how long will your worth be compared to mere beasts?
You are blessed, oh wise, who fully trust in the Lord! For you have found the truth through faith. Thus, the truth did set you free. Having seen the things cloaked with mysteries in his infallible Word. Surely, you are blessed, oh man of God by walking in faith and not by sight.
You are cursed, oh fool, who trust on his own understanding! Even if you gather the knowledge of diverse men of intellect, you still unable to reach a conclusive truth about primordial life. Surely, you are cursed, oh you arrogant, ever learning but never came to the knowledge of truth (2 Timothy 3:7).
From everlasting to everlasting you are there, oh Lord! For you are the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last (Revelation 22:13). In your wisdom the world was formed and prepared the heavens, the earth and the waters for all your creatures. You are omniscient, oh God, who created man in your own image. Although, the last of your creations, yet he was highly favored. What should we believed then? Can a pot of clay be greater than the Potter? Without a trace of doubt, we confessed to the whole world, saying: "Truly the Lord is our Maker!"
