The Power of Creation—Part 3

God’s mighty power is at work in our hearts (Ephesians 3:20).  There is no more reason to not believe in creation than in God’s power at work in us. 

Another yardstick of the power He exerts on the hearts of Christians is that involved in the resurrection of Christ (Ephesians 1:17-20).  The focus of the apostle’s prayer here is that the power that raised Christ from the dead is the same power at work in every believer.  Paul exhorts us to make this comparison.  This should give us some comprehension of the awesome power that was necessary to save us!  Just as His almighty power created the universe, and raised the Lord Jesus from the grave, even so that same divine power is at work in the lives of every Christian.  If this power is working in you through faith, there will be clear evidence of its reality in your life.  The blast of an atomic bomb cannot be hidden; neither can the influence of God’s power on every part of a believer’s life leave no imprint.  The almighty working that breaks into your life through saving faith must demonstrate its reality.  God’s power will most easily be seen in afflictions; a backdrop of human weakness most clearly highlights divine power (2 Corinthians 12:10).  Thomas Manton wrote, “Confidence in the resurrection would make us go to the grave as cheerfully as we go to our beds.”
