rev 4:
11Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Many today really underestimate, or dont believe this precious truth, or they limit its meaning.
But the truth of the matter is that all which we experience and see of in this world was created for The Triune's God purpose and pleasure..not one speck of dust is excepted, all for His pleasure, which includes sin and evil.
In the greek, it would read The all is created for thy pleasure, things was just added by the translators..
remember isa 53:
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
It pleased the LORD to bruise Him, for sin..the word pleased is the hebrew word:
chaphets :
to delight in, take pleasure in, desire, be pleased with
to delight in, have pleasure in
b) to be pleased to do
So it is plainy seen, that the sin offering christ was made for His people was pleasing and a pleasure for the Lord, He delighteth in it, hence we see how the greatest evil in the world, was actually created for Gods pleasure..
Lets look at an new testament passage that teaches the same thing..col 1:
16For by him[Jesus christ] were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
It certainly cannot be denied from this passage we have revealed that God by the Mediator of Man, Jesus christ, again created all things..
more descriptively, we have created , principalties, powers, dominions, thrones.and ect..
all entities in heaven, in earth, visible and invisible..
sin is a power..its an entity, its a dominion..
lets look at rom 6:
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
yes, sin is a dominion..and according to col 1 all dominions were created by God..
what is the meaning of dominion ?
its the greek word:
kyrieuô which means:
to be lord of, to rule, have dominion over
2) of things and forces
a) to exercise influence upon, to have power over
Surely our expirence of sin fits this very definitions..
The humble david prayed ps 19:
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
david believed this blessed truth that i am sharing today from the word of God, that sin is a dominion, created by and controlled by the Sovereign Lord, and that it serves His pleasure..
The word sin is given identity in rom 7:
8But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
note, sin taking occasion..
9For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
11For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, [sin]deceived me, and by it [sin]slew me.
13Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
14For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
17Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
25I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin
now does the Law of God have being, power, or entitiy ? So likewise the Law of sin..
Therefore sin too is a power..
and what does the scripture say in col 1:
16For by him[Jesus christ] were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
If sin is a power, like rom 7 declares it to be, then according to this scripture, it was created for Jesus christ..
Sin was created for Jesus christ to die for, was it not ? Did not Jesus christ die for sin ?
1 cor 15:
3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
was not this dying for sin of Gods eternal purpose ? eph 3:
9And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
10To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, 11According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
Was not this declared as Gods eternal purpose too in rev 13: 8And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain[for sin] from the foundation of the world.
9If any man have an ear, let him hear.
Its clearly taught in scripture, for those who are of God, that sin was created by and for God, yes, it in all its evil, only serve the wise purpose of God, in the salvation of His people, through our Lord Jesus christ..
Only Gods True sheep will hear Gods voice in this blessed truth, but Gods enemies will reject and contradict it, but this too, is the pleasure of the Lord..
