The Bible presents reality as both physical and spiritual, with God as the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of all that exists.<br><br><b>Creation and the Nature of Reality</b><br><br>The Bible begins with the assertion of God's creation of the universe, establishing the foundation of reality: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (<a href="/genesis/1.htm">Genesis 1:1</a>). This verse underscores the belief that all of reality originates from God, who is eternal and unchanging. The physical world, as described in the creation account, is a manifestation of God's power and wisdom.<br><br>The Psalms further affirm God's role in sustaining reality: "The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof, the world and all who dwell therein" (<a href="/psalms/24.htm">Psalm 24:1</a>). This verse highlights the belief that everything within creation belongs to God and is under His sovereign control.<br><br><b>Spiritual Reality</b><br><br>Beyond the physical realm, the Bible emphasizes the existence of a spiritual reality. The Apostle Paul writes, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms" (<a href="/ephesians/6-12.htm">Ephesians 6:12</a>). This passage reveals the presence of spiritual forces and the ongoing battle between good and evil, which is a significant aspect of biblical reality.<br><br>The spiritual realm is also where believers find their true identity and purpose. Paul reminds the Colossians, "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things" (<a href="/colossians/3-2.htm">Colossians 3:2</a>), encouraging Christians to focus on the eternal and spiritual aspects of reality rather than the temporary and material.<br><br><b>Truth and Reality</b><br><br>The Bible presents truth as an integral part of reality, with Jesus Christ as the embodiment of truth. Jesus declares, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (<a href="/john/14-6.htm">John 14:6</a>). This statement affirms that ultimate reality is found in a relationship with Christ, who reveals the truth about God and humanity.<br><br>The Scriptures themselves are considered a source of truth, providing guidance and insight into the nature of reality. The psalmist writes, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" (<a href="/psalms/119-105.htm">Psalm 119:105</a>), illustrating the belief that God's Word illuminates the path of life and reveals the true nature of reality.<br><br><b>Eternal Reality</b><br><br>The Bible teaches that reality extends beyond the temporal world into eternity. Jesus speaks of eternal life as the ultimate reality for believers: "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent" (<a href="/john/17-3.htm">John 17:3</a>). Eternal life is not merely an unending existence but a quality of life characterized by a relationship with God.<br><br>The book of Revelation provides a glimpse into the eternal reality that awaits believers, describing a new heaven and a new earth where God dwells with His people: "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away" (<a href="/revelation/21-4.htm">Revelation 21:4</a>). This vision of the future underscores the hope of a restored reality where God's presence is fully realized.<br><br>In summary, the Bible presents reality as a complex interplay of the physical and spiritual, grounded in the truth of God's Word and culminating in the eternal life offered through Jesus Christ.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
