God Created Day and Night

Not often do people think about where did day and night  came from. God’s special revelation tells us:

"Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day" 

(Genesis 1:3-5). We don't have to fully understand it, but we can believe it because “with God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26). 

Keep in mind that we serve the almighty God who is also eternal, omniscient, immutable, omnipresent, holy, truthful, loving, gracious, merciful, and just. His Justice requires Him to judge sin which He did.

Here’s how: 

First, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23). Every male and female are guilty of sin. 

Second, “being justified (declared innocent) freely by His grace (undeserved favor) through the redemption (paid for us) that is in Christ Jesus (Rom. 3:24), 

Third, “whom God set forth as a propitiation (satisfied offering) by His blood, through faith (providing salvation through our faith [Rom. 3:25a]), 

Fourth, “to demonstrate His righteousness (not ours) because in His forbearance (withholding punishment) God had passed over the sins that were previously committed” (before Christ died for mankind [Rom. 3:25b])

Fifth, “to demonstrate at the present time (New Testament time) His righteousness, that He might be just (necessarily judging Christ for our sin) and the justifier (declares innocent) of the one (you and me) who has faith in Jesus” (Rom. 3:26).

He did all of that within the continuum of day and night. 

That profound truth is what the Apostle Paul call “meat” (Heb. 5:15).

Blessings!
