IN THE BEGINNING

 

IN THE BEGINNING

Passage: Genesis 1:1-5

Key verse: 1

 

1. In the beginning (1)

“In the beginning” signifies eternity. The Bible teaches us that God is eternal and

that he existed before time itself. In his wisdom and power, God created everything

to display his glory and to accomplish his purpose. By faith we must acknowledge

God as Eternal, Creator God.

 

2. God’s Spirit hovered over the waters (2-3)

There was no life or order on earth. But the phrase, “the Spirit of God was

hovering over the waters,” indicates that God was about to do something

awesome and that he had a master plan.

 

3. Let there be light (4-5)

Creator God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light at his command. This

reveals that Eternal, Creator God is one who speaks. His word is full of power and

is life-giving. Also, he sees and works for the good. God is light. In him there is

no darkness. God separated the light and darkness and created the order of day

followed by night, revealing the importance of order to God.

 

Prayer God, help me come to you, the Eternal, Creator God, by faith and

acknowledge that everything exists for your glory and by your power.

 

One Word God is Eternal, Creator God
