Good morning,
Many shows we watch on TV are not friendly to origins of man. Some claim that it took billions of years for the world and mankind to come into being. They have all sorts of theories, but no real evidence.
I hold in my hand the testimony of the Creator. God tells us step by step how the world came into being. The process was simple. God spoke it, Jesus made it, and the Holy Spirit breathed life into it.
If we do not know the truth, we could easily be persuaded to believe the lie of evolution.
This week we will look at the Creation of our world. We will look at who God is and how He completed His creative work.
WHO is God?
- Elohim=supreme, mighty EL=strong
2. Elohim is a plural word. The Godhead:
a. Father
b. Son
While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; Prov 8:26-30
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:1-3 and 14
c. Holy Spirit V2 …the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters
3. Omnipotent=all powerful He creates Gen 1:1-31
4. Omnipresent Eternal He had no beginning
5. Omniscience He knows all
The Godhead, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, working together in unity to create the world.
This is not a manmade god, but the God of all eternity. No beginning and no ending. Holy, perfect, with all power and wisdom. Only God could create this world.
This knowledge in itself should be enough to reject any other creation theory. The Bible account is true, precise, and honest!
