Jehovah’s marvelous qualities are seen in his creations. Those who dont believe in God are, as the Scriptures put it, ”unexcusable”. Let’s praise God and show respect to his name!

Jesus is God and he does not need to be baptized. But he came down to this world as a man so that he could experience everything we have experienced (including baptism) and took all of our sins on his innocent shoulders. God hates sin but he send his Son to pay the ransom for all human being so we could reconcile with him through Jesus.
What a wonderful creator and a loving father!

Hi Anyuta –
This is very interesting about the snowflakes and of course the beauty of everything here on earth was created by God which is truly a miracle in itself, however I do want to point out that we must do more than believe and confess to be saved. It is to be followed with baptism, which is what represents the washing away of our sins. There are many scriptures that show this. I have put some here for you to study. There are more scriptures to back this up as well.
Here are some scriptures on baptism. I know that there are quite a few more other than this.
Baptism – Mark 16:15-16 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the good news (Gospel) to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.”
Acts 2:38 – And Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will have the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for al who are far off for all whom the Lord our God will call.”
Mark 22:16 – And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on His name.
Acts10:48 (Peter talking) So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
The baptism of Christ – Matt. 3:13- 17 Then Jesus came to Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But John tried to deter him, saying “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented. As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on Him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love, with and am well pleased.
God Bless

People in warm climates are often thankful they do not have to experience winter. But one lovely thing they miss out on is the beauty of a snow-covered landscape when much of the grime and unattractiveness of the earth is covered over with the beauty of a soft white blanket of snow.
Millions of tons of snow fall over large areas each year. We are filled with wonder when we stop to realize that all of the snow is entirely made up of delicate, beautifully designed snowflakes, so small that one would scarcely cover your little fingernail. And such beautiful designs! People who study and photograph them continually prove, to their amazement, that no two snowflakes are alike.
With few exceptions, snowflakes are always six-sided. Sometimes the six sides are flat and straight, but more often they have six beautifully designed arms coming out from a circle, forming a common center which has its own design. Each spear-like arm matches the others on the same flake, but, as mentioned above, no two flakes have been found that are exactly alike. A scientist who made photographs of more than 400,000 snowflakes verified in his pictures that this was truly so. Isn’t that amazing! No one but the Lord God could create so many different designs.
Snowflakes form in the clouds. They begin as tiny specks of dust surrounded by little droplets of water that change into flakes as freezing air blows on them. As they fall, many collide, changing the shapes from which they started and landing on earth with sometimes less than six sides, or becoming long and narrow. But each snowflake has its part in forming the snowy landscapes that attract skiers, tobogganers and photographers.
Even more important, the snow on mountains, that becomes deeper with each snowfall, is held in the cold temperatures of these high altitudes until hot summer months. Then a gradual melting releases snow in the form of water into streams and rivers to supply necessary moisture to forests, meadows and farms in the lower areas — wise planning by the Creator of all things.
In the Bible there is a lovely verse which says, “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow” (Isaiah 1:18). By “reasoning together” we understand that the Lord Jesus died on the cross to wash away our sins, and any who will confess to God that they are sinners and accept His offer to be their Saviour are saved.
If He is not your Saviour, He invites you to come to Him right now and He will accept you as one of His own, making your sins “as white as snow” in His sight!

“Great things doeth He [God], which we cannot comprehend.
For He saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth…” Job 37:5-6

Barbara: To us the snowflake is “pure white” when in reality some have color, when looking at it in a different light (I think.)
Did you notice that all of the snow flakes have a 6 point design??? Is this a sign of something???
You amaze me, loving GOD… Thank you for all of the beauty of nature…
