En su sermón titulado Los cielos, el predicador Joel Coyoc aborda la revelación de la gloria de Dios a través de la creación, enfatizando cómo los cielos y el firmamento testifican de Su poder y autoridad, como se refleja en Salmo 19:1-2. Coyoc sostiene que, desde que Dios creó el mundo, la naturaleza ha proclamado Su gloria de manera continua, como se menciona en Romanos 1:18-20. A lo largo de su mensaje, destaca la importancia de reconocer la gloria de Dios en la creación y la necesidad de una respuesta de adoración y reconocimiento por parte del ser humano. La implicación de esta comprensión es que, en medio de nuestra rebelión natural, debemos buscar a Dios en Cristo, quien es nuestra verdadera sabiduría y reposo, como asevera Mateo 11:28-30. El sermón concluye resaltando que la verdadera sabiduría radica en conocer a Dios y confiar en Su plan redentor a través de Cristo.

The Bible teaches that the heavens declare the glory of God, proclaiming His greatness and power through creation (Psalm 19:1).
The Scriptures reveal that the heavens and the firmament continuously declare the glory of God, as expressed in Psalm 19:1-2. This passage emphasizes that the natural world is not merely a backdrop of existence but a deliberate testament to God's character and handiwork. Creation serves a purpose: to announce the majesty of its Creator. The Apostle Paul underscores this in Romans 1:20, stating that God's invisible attributes are clearly seen through the things He has made. As believers, we are reminded to recognize not just the creation itself, but the God who stands behind it and is to be worshipped for His works.
Psalm 19:1-2, Romans 1:20
Nature reveals God's eternal power and divine nature, making His existence evident to all (Romans 1:20).
The existence of God is manifested through the created order, which reflects His eternal power and divinity. Romans 1:20 tells us that from the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities can be understood and perceived by what has been made. This universal revelation means that every person, regardless of their background, has some knowledge of God through their observation of nature. Despite the rebellion of the human heart, the beauty and order of creation continually beckon humanity to turn towards the Creator who is responsible for it all.
Romans 1:20
The law of God is perfect and it converts the soul, revealing God's standards for holiness (Psalm 19:7).
Psalm 19:7-10 beautifully articulates the significance of God’s law, describing it as perfect and capable of restoring the soul. The law serves as a guide for believers, shining light on our need for redemption and highlighting the holiness that God requires. Through the law, Christians learn not only to identify sin but also to appreciate God's righteousness and justice. The law points us toward Christ, fulfilling the demands of perfection on our behalf. It is in recognizing our inability to meet the law’s demands that we find grace in Jesus, who completes all righteousness for us.
Psalm 19:7-10
God continuously governs creation with wisdom and sovereignty, ensuring all things fulfill His divine purposes.
The governance of creation by God is a recurring theme in Scripture, emphasizing His sovereign rule over all that exists. The sermon illustrates that just as the sun follows its course across the heavens, so every element of creation operates under God's authority and purpose. This was reinforced by examples such as the Tower of Babel and Sodom and Gomorrah, where God's judgments were manifest from heaven. The continuous manifestation of God's providence assures us that there is not a single aspect of existence beyond His control, and it invites us to trust in His wisdom and care for our lives.
Various verses, including Psalm 19, Genesis 11, and references to Sodom and Gomorrah
