2136.—The Word “Creature.” 1 Tim. 4: 4.

By A. L. M.

To what does the word “creature” here refer? A. L. M.
It seems clear to us that it refers to those things which God has created for food, “every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it be received with thanksgiving; for it is sanctified thru the word of God and prayer.” The Lord has told us in His word what things are fit for food; those are the things which ought to guide us in our eating, because they are the better things for us. If the word of God has set them apart for food we can pray that they may do us good. The word “creature” means a thing created. “Meats,” in the verse previous means food of any kind.
