Name:
Course: CWV-301
In this guided analysis, you will interact with issues concerning truth and morality. Address
the following questions, responding directly below each question with the appropriate
specified number of words.
Part I – Truth
Psalm 19:1-2 states, “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims
his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech and night to night reveals knowledge” (ESV).
As one may learn something about Vincent van Gogh by looking at his Starry Night
painting, is it possible to look at the beauty of our natural world and learn something about
God (commonly called general revelation)? Is this sufficient knowledge about God?
Explain why or why not. (300-500 words)
The world we live in has a natural beauty that I feel show’s and produces God’s presence
everywhere. God created the earth and all its beauty. In doing this, it surrounds us every day.
We can’t see God in a like I see my wife, but I can see his beauty in everything around me
including my wife. We need to see God in all these different ways. Our lives change day to day,
and day to day we need to see God. We can do just that in noticing the beauty all around us.
Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. I may look at a Red Cedar tree and see all the
possibilities for making wood furniture. My wife could look at a field of Lilac flowers and see
beauty in the flowers. Both of us will come to the same conclusion God designed all this beauty
for us. We can see him in his work every day. Just as if we look at Van Gogh’s painting a Starry
Night. When we notice all these beautiful things, we learn a thing about God. It is helping us in
times. People will always have a question and will question God’s existence. Bad things happen
to good people, and we want to know why. If we look into Job’s life, what will we find? A man
that was loved by and loved God. He was doing everything right. Then the devil pops his head
into the picture and destroys everything in his life. Did he deserve this? NO! God allowed it to
happen and what did it do? It brought Job closer to God. He never questioned God’s existence,
but we do.
If you read the Bible cover to cover even if it is just to read it like a book, it tells us that when the
final days come, we are all standing trial. Even if we were never presented the word of God, just
seeing the beauty around us proves that God exists. Just like it talks about in Romans 1:19-20.
God also talks to us when we read the Bible. He tells us of his Power, Glory, and His Existence.
