Reality is Real because God is Real

Man can transform to a limited degree, the form of matter but cannot create matter. To create matter means making something out of nothing. Man cannot do that. Only God can give existence to something that did not exist before. Only God can bridge the infinite distance from nothingness to existence. It is infinite, it is impossible to man’s viewpoint, but God is greater than infinity. This is his infinite power. Creation does not deserve to exist in it’s own right. It is a gift. Our existence is a gift. Something that does not exist does not automatically deserve or demand to exist. But the generosity of God created the gift of creation and existence. To create is to design. To design is to know intimately the designed. God has infinite knowledge of his creation. He does not make mistakes with his creation. We are not a mistake. We are not an accident. There are no accidents in Creation. The infinity wise designer cannot create a faulty design. He knows how it works, He made it work, He keeps it working. God continues to create in the present. For without God, existence would disappear into nothingness instantaneously. God is the infinite Artist, for his creation is beauty. There is only one God. There is only one source of power, wisdom, beauty and goodness that is the one God. Knowing this truth about reality points clearly to where we find goodness and happiness: In God. We cannot live apart or separate from the source of True Goodness and True Happiness and expect to find the heart’s desire somewhere else. The universe is a reflection of its creator. It is real, it is reality, it is true, it is one, it is not illusionary or a phantom. It is orderly not chaotic. Order cannot come from pure chance. There must be a master Designer. One God, One universe. There is solidarity in this one universe, one nature because there is one God and everything is ordered for his glory.
