Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Baby

“For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well” (Psalm 139:13-14).

The Bible clearly identifies God as the creator of all things. The verse above makes this personal, showing that each one of us has been created by Him. The psalmist used two words to describe this:

  • Fearfully – This word signifies something that causes one to revere or to stand in awe of something. The way God has formed each one of us is awe-inspiring and is a reason to approach Him in reverence.
  • Wonderfully – This word is used to describe something that is distinguished or set apart. God created us to be special among all the other things He has made.

The fact that we have been “fearfully and wonderfully made” teaches certain things about us. These are important to note, especially given certain mentalities and behaviors that are pervasive in our society.Continue Reading

Plain Bible Teaching Podcast

This week’s episode is going to be a little bit different. Rather than talking about a specific news story or article, we’re going to be talking about a particular concept that is popular in our society today. It is the idea that we cannot be critical of or condemn someone’s behavior or lifestyle as long as they are “not hurting anyone.” This has been used for years to justify the use of drugs and things like that. More recently, it is used to defend homosexuality and transgenderism. If it can be proven that one’s behavior does not physically/mentally/emotionally/spiritually harm another person, does that mean the behavior is justified? We’re going to explore that question by considering some Biblical principles today.Continue Reading
