And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. - Colossians 1:17
God’s creation is filled with both numerical and special relationships. The Christian’s mandate for mathematics is to apply mathematics in order to understand nature, for what math does is see with a finer focus some of the things God made. Not only is math useful to fulfill the dominion mandate of Scripture, it also uniquely reveals certain attributes of the Creator God. In mathematics we find God as the Architect, Contractor, and Builder all in one. One Christian reflects, “Through mathematics, nature stands revealed before us, and through it the Creator of the world has spoken and the Preserver of the world continues to speak.” Without this language, many of the intricate workings of nature would have remained vague or even unknown. In our discovery of mathematics we should praise God saying, “How great is the Maker of both the mind and nature.”
