Psalm 119:93 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
93 I will never forget your precepts,
for with them you have made me alive.
What is a genome?
"A genome is an organism’s complete set of DNA, including all of its genes. Each genome contains all of the information needed to build and maintain that organism. In humans, a copy of the entire genome—more than 3 billion DNA base pairs—is contained in all cells that have a nucleus." (From the U.S. National Library of Medicine).
Genesis 1:26-27 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness. They will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, all the earth,[a] and the creatures that crawl[b] on the earth.”
Genesis 2:7 New English Translation (NET Bible)
7 The Lord God formed the man from the soil of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
There is deep in every human being a mysterious connection to a power and being not of this earth. It exists in every human being. It is the deep inner relationship between a human and the Almighty God. In many ways it can never be adequately explained. However, it is there. In every civilization on earth both past and present there exists this calling of God to His human creation. Humans in every civilization of historical record have always sought the Creator. They have looked to worship something greater than themselves. Why? Because, deep in each human is that calling of God. It is a calling both physical and spiritual.
Humans can amass money, power, fame, and glory and yet never feel content and satisfied. Why? Because, humans are deeply spiritual. There is more to humanity than the physical. There is in each human a calling that comes from God. Men and women are never complete in life until they have answered that call.
I believe deep in the human genome is this mysterious code that responds to God. The human form recognizes the voice of God. The human being comes alive to the calling of God.
In the Bible you have the greatest message to ever be found on earth. Men look to the Pyramids of Ancient Egypt to understand this calling but it is not there. Men look to Stonehenge in England for answers, but it is not there. This message from God, found in the Bible speaks to the brain of humans and the brain lights up. This message of the Bible speaks to the emotions of humans and the feelings explode with glory. This message speaks to the very human genome of every human and inner life springs to action. The Bible speaks to the very soul of every human and that soul is energized.
Psalms 119:93 speaks of the very Word of God making one alive! Yes, the Bible connecting with the human genome and soul turns on lights in the human being like no other force on earth. It is a marvelous thing to behold.
When you read the Bible you are reading a book not fully of this earth. You are reading the words first formed in the mind of God and dispatched unto humans to record. These words are the calling of the Creator unto his creation with a message of how to get home. You see you are made in the image of the Almighty God. God never intended for you to be here forever. He is calling you home. Home is with the Creator-our Heavenly Father. Home is the fulfillment of what we were actually created for and in such we find our completion.
You read a book of men and enjoy the moment. You read the Bible and a voice not of this earth speaks to you deep in your human genome and very soul. The message stirs you and moves you and motivates you to greatness. It is an ancient calling going back to the sixth day of creation. God made man in His image and breathed into that human and thus every human the breath of life. God has left us a message in the Bible and it calls us back to Him.
The Bible tells you where you came from, why you are here, and what your destiny can be. God leaves with each human the power of free-will to choose to answer the call. The Bible is a like a phone that is ringing. It is ever ringing, will you answer the call? There the Bible sits in your house. There the phone is ringing, will you answer the call? Some will answer the call and many will not. Sad to say, many can no longer hear the ring for they have been made deaf by the darkness of this world. Some cannot hear the ring because the noise of the world makes it impossible to hear the call of God any longer. Let there be silence! Let there be calm! Now, hear the call of God. Go to the Bible and open its sacred pages and read. Read the Gospel of Mark and read the greatest story ever told. Read of God becoming man and saving you from yourself, your sins and calling you home. Yes, the CROSS is God's way of calling you home. The Bible is now ringing in your home! Do you hear the ringing? Do you hear the call of God?
It amazes me more and more how any human can continue to ignore the call of God. How can any ignore the most powerful message on earth--THE HOLY BIBLE? Do you hear the ring? Do you hear the call of God? One billion years from now you will be so glad you answered the call? Twenty four hours from now, you will be so thrilled you answered the call. When you open the pages of the BIBLE and read, your human genome and soul recognizes the ancient words and comes alive. When you obey those ancient words you will feel satisfied. JESUS who is GOD is calling you home.
James 1:21b: "...humbly welcome the message implanted within you, which is able to save your souls."
