Sve što vidite oko vas u Stvaranju služi usavršavanju duhovnoga. Ništa nije bez smisla i svrhe, sve ima svoje određenje, čak i ako vi ljudi njega ne možete prepoznati. No Mudrost Božja vlada gdje god Njegova Ljubav stvara.... Njegova Svemoć dovodi do izvedbe sve što Mudrost i Ljubav hoće.... cijelo Stvaranje izraz je Ljubavne Sile Boga, Njegove neizmjerne Mudrosti i Moći. I Stvaranje je prikladno za to da ljudima dâ spoznaju veličine Boga i Stvoritelja; Ono je prikladno i za to da čovjeku omogući da vjeruje u Boga i Stvoritelja, samo ako razmisli o tome što vidi oko sebe.
No (oni) ljudi koji ne obraćaju pažnju na to što im veličina Boga dokazuje, kroz zemaljski život idu slijepi u duhu; ne mogu vidjeti pošto ne otvaraju oči za čudnovate tvorevine prirode.... sve promatraju kao podrazumljivo, i priroda im ne govori ništa, pošto ne vjeruju. Jer, čovjek koji vjeruje spontano misli na Vječno Božanstvo samo ako se udubi u tvorevinu i kontemplira njen postanak i njenu svrhu....
Stvaranje dokazuje Boga, pošto Ono svjedoči o zakonskom uređenju koje je uvijek uslovljeno zakonodavcem.... i pošto Ono omogućava da se prepozna svrha i određenje svake tvorevine, a to opet dokazuje mudro-razmišljajuće Biće, Koje je svemu stvorenome dalo njegovu namjenu. No i u čovjeku mora biti prisutna volja za prosvjetljenjem glede toga da li se čovjeku putem Stvaranja Božansko Biće pokušava objaviti.... čovjek mora željeti razmišljati ispravno te time njegovo vjerovanje biva osnaženo tako što mu putem Stvaranja biva dokazan Bog i Stvoritelj....
Čovjek mora razmisliti, mora imati volju za prosvjetljenjem po pitanju problemā koji su među ljudima sporni.... jer uvijek će biti ljudi koji se trude nijekati Boga i Stvoritelja, nasuprot onih koji Ga priznaju, koji u Njega vjeruju.... a Stvaranje u slučaju tog spora služi tome da dâ prosvjetljenje svakom čovjeku koji samo istinski tome teži. I baš ozbiljnost te namjere presudna je za odgovor, koji će čovjek tad misaonim putem primiti.... jer tvorevine prirode nisu ljudski proizvodi, ali nisu ni nasumice nastala djela, inače se u njima ne bi moglo prepoznati zakonsko uređenje.
Jer, Stvaranje je izražaj (jedne) Sile, Koja je usmjerena Voljom dok god su njeni rezultati svrhoviti i podređeni određenim zakonima, koji pak uvijek svjedoče o jednom mudrom Zakonodavcu. Tko pita, njemu će biti dân odgovor.... no tko sâm daje odgovor onako kako njemu odgovara, pošto ne želi vjerovati u Boga i Stvoritelja, taj sasvim izvjesno griješi, jer njegovo razmišljanje krivo je vođeno od strane onoga koji sâm nije želio priznati Boga i kojega je stoga pogodilo duhovno sljepilo, i on čovjeku nikada neće dati Istinu....
Tko Boga ne priznaje, nalazi se pod utjecajem protivnika, i taj utjecaj uvijek će rezultirati u tome da se ljudima guši ikakva vjera u Boga i Stvoritelja.... no sâm čovjek od tog utjecaja može se osloboditi ako se sâm sa ozbiljnom voljom trudi doći do Istine, jer težnja za Istinom kao rezultat ima to da je tok njegovih misli upravljan tako da kroz Stvaranje može doći do vjere u Boga i Stvoritelja, Koji mu se otkriva u čudnovatim tvorevinama prirode.
Jer Bog je prepoznatljiv onome koji Ga želi spoznati.... a On ima tako mnoga sredstva Milosti koja čovjeku pomažu doći do vjere.... čovjek se samo treba osvrnuti, i u njemu se može zapaliti svjetlo spoznaje, pod uvjetom da ima volju.... tad će mu sve tvorevine propovijedati o Ljubavi, Mudrosti i Svemoći Božjoj.... tad će moći vjerovati i svoju vjeru vječno više ne izgubiti....
AMEN
TranslatorEverything you see around you in creation serves the perfection of the spiritual. Nothing is meaningless and purposeless, everything has its purpose, even if you humans cannot recognize it. But God's wisdom has ruled everywhere where His love created.... His omnipotence brought everything to fruition that wisdom and love wanted.... The whole of creation is the expression of God's strength of love, His immeasurable wisdom and power. And creation is suitable to let people recognize the greatness of a God and creator; it is also suitable to let people believe in a God and creator if only they think about what they see around them. Yet people walk blindly in spirit through earthly life, who pay no attention to what proves God's greatness to them; they cannot see because they do not open their eyes to the wonders of nature.... They take everything for granted and nature tells them nothing because they don't believe. For the believing human being involuntarily remembers the Eternal Deity when he merely delves into a work of creation and reflects on its origin and purpose.... For creation proves a God because it testifies to a lawful order which always requires a Lawgiver and because it reveals the purpose and destiny of every work of creation, which in turn proves a wise, thinking Being Who gave His destiny to everything created. But the human being must also have the will to find out whether an essential Deity seeks to reveal Himself to people through creation.... He must want to think correctly and thus also strengthen his faith by being proven a God and creator through creation.... He must reflect in the will to gain insight into problems which are objects of dispute amongst people.... For there will always be people who seek to deny a God and creator to those who acknowledge Him, who believe in Him.... And in such matters of dispute creation truly serves to provide every person with clarification if only he seriously desires it. And the very seriousness of this desire is decisive for the answer which the human being will now mentally receive.... For the miracles of nature are not human products, but neither are they arbitrarily created works, otherwise they would not reveal the lawful order. For creation is an expression of strength which was directed by a will as long as its results are purposeful and subject to certain laws which always testify to a wise Law Giver. Anyone who asks will receive an answer.... but anyone who gives himself the answer as it suits him, because he does not want to believe in a God and creator, will also certainly err, for his thinking will be wrongly guided by the one who did not want to acknowledge God himself and who is therefore also stricken with spiritual blindness and will never convey the truth to a human being.... Anyone who does not acknowledge God is under the influence of God's adversary, and this influence will always aim to destroy people's every belief in a God and creator.... But the human being can free himself from this influence if he earnestly seeks to know the truth himself, for the desire for truth results in his train of thought being directed such that he can nevertheless attain faith in a God and creator Who reveals Himself to him in the wonders of nature. For God can be recognized by anyone who wants to recognize Him.... And He has so many means of grace at hand which help the human being to believe.... He need only look around and the light of knowledge can be kindled in him if only he is of good will.... Then all works of creation will preach to him of God's love, wisdom and omnipotence.... Then he will be able to believe and never lose his faith again...._>Amen
