Repentance from sin

                God is the creator of all things.

                Man  did  not  just  come  about,  he  was  deliberately  made.
                Genesis  1  v26 says 'Let  us  make  man'.  The us is God—
                the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit .

                Man  is  the  crowning  work  of  God  and  has  been  given
                faculties no other creation of God possesses.   Man has the
                ability to:-

                See God in His Work.  Romans1  v19,20.  'since  what  may
                be  known  about  God  is  plain  to  them  (men  &  women),
                because  God  has  made  it  plain  to  them.    For  since  the
                creation  of  the  world,  God's  invisible  qualities...have
                been clearly seen... so that men are without excuse'.

                See the evidences of God's wisdom.  Psalm  104  v24  'How
                many are your works O Lord, in wisdom you made  them
                all.'

                Marvel at God's power .  Psalm 150 v2 'Praise God for His
                mighty power and surpassing greatness'

                Appreciate  His  goodness.    Psalm  33  v5  'The  Lord  loves
                righteousness  and  justice,  the  earth  is  full  of  His
                unfailing love'.


                This ability is only found in mankind.  Animals have instinct,
                man has intellect to guide him in important decisions.  This is
                because  God  made  everything  in  its  own  kind.  Genesis  1
                v21, 24, 25.

                Similar  characteristics  between  animals  and  man  is  not
                evidence  of  a  single  origin  but  evidence  of  a  single  creator
                making every creature distinctive, despite similarities.
