Nevertheless He left not Himself without witness, in that He did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness (Acts 14: 17).

Neither is worshipped with men’s hands as though He needed anything, seeing He gives to all life, and breath, and all things (Acts 17: 25).

He sends the spring into the valleys, which runs among the hills. They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst. By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches. He waters the hills from His chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works. He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; and wine that makes glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face shine, and bread which strengthens man’s heart. He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knows its going down. So is this great and wide sea, wherein are all things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. There go the ships (Psalm104:10-15, 19, 25-26).

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given (Isaiah 9: 6a).

For by grace you are saved through faith; and not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2: 8-9).

In order that man may be without excuse, God has both human witnesses and nature witnesses to confirm His existence. Some of the human witnesses were used by God to write the Bible giving account of the creation of heaven and earth by God. They wrote about the story of Adam, the first of men who God put in charge to dominate the earth and rule over lesser creatures. They wrote about the fall of man and how all men were made sinners. They wrote about how God sent Jesus, the second Adam to die for the sins of the whole world and restore man back to God by His precious blood. They wrote about how nature also witness to God’s existence. Man is therefore without excuse.

In the first passage above we are told that God did good. He gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness. This is a cycle. God sends rain from heaven- It makes the seeds planted by the farmer to be fruitful. When the crops are harvested, we have food and gladness. God also gives us life, and breath, and all things. These all things include, among others, springs of water, grass for the cattle, herb for the service of man, wine that makes glad the heart of man, oil to make his face shine, and bread which strengthen man’s heart. He gives sun to lighten the day, and moon to give light in the night. He created the sea with all the fishes and other creeping things. The ships use the sea as their highways. All of these services that man enjoys are provided freely by God! Have you ever paid for the rain, the seeds that produce food, your breath and the air? Have you ever paid for the sun by which God lightens the day or the moon by which you see in the night? There are abundance of fowls of the air and fishes in the sea. If you go – a fishing today, you will catch a lot of fishes in the sea. God gave man all these things freely to enjoy.
And to demonstrate His total love for man, He gave His Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins and save us. Salvation is a free gift of God. Romans 8:32 says: He(God) that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?.
Will you accept the free gift of God? Will be saved? If yes, pray this prayer out loud: Lord Jesus, come into my heart, wash away my sins. I confess you as my Lord and Savior, in Jesus’ Precious Name, Amen.
