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.
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.
What did God do?
Made fowls of the air and sea creatures (1:20-23) (Day five)
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
Made cattle, creeping things, man and woman (1:24-31) (Day six)
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.”
We learned yesterday that God created an infrastructure to sustain His created beings.
Today we learn about those created creatures. All forms of living creatures. Animals, sea life, fowls of the air, and man and woman.
God completed all His creative acts in six literal 24 hour days. Then He rested.
God rested and blessed the seventh day (Genesis 2:1-3) (Day 7)
“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.”
God’s word is the truth. Please do not allow unbelievers or believers with corrupted doctrine, to turn you away from the truth of creation according to Genesis 1.
God said it and that’s good enough for me.
