Romans 11:35, Knowing Our Humble Position in God’s Universe
God is the uncaused first cause! No one is before Him and nothing that we know is not received from His good hand. The Apostle Paul quotes Job 41:11 to present this truth, “Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.”
The Biblical thinking about man’s uniqueness stands in sharp contrast to much thinking that portrays man as just another animal, as a product of the theory of evolution. The Bible tells us that man is created in the image of God. He is the apex of God’s creation. When God created the universe, the earth was the focus. When God created the earth, man was the focus. He made the earth a most habitable paradise before He made man and place in there to enjoy His creation.
