THE WORLD IN A WEEK (Genesis 1:3-27)

THE WORLD IN A WEEK(Genesis 1:3-27)

Today we are going to discuss the creation of the world by God as He prepares the earth as the place for mankind to live.  Over the last couple of weeks, we have been building the foundation for how we are to understand the Creation story.  We have talked about the meaning of the words “light” and “day.” and we have talked about who God is.  Now, it is time to apply those lessons as we learn about the almighty power of the God we serve.  The God of All Creation.

God begins the creation process of turning chaos into order. First, God dealt first with the darkness.  In the second step, God dealt next with the disorder, itself. He began by raising the clouds. Then, the third step in the process was for God to raise the continents.  That brings us to the next step in the process of bringing order to chaos, God dealt with the deadness of the planet.  He created the plants and the animals.

The next step was to create man, God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.  In his nature, person, and personality, in his moral and spiritual capacities, in his emotions, intellect, conscience, and will, man stands apart from the animal world.  God created man as being threefold in nature, we have a spirit, soul, and body. 

Click on the play button above to hear a message on how God prepared this earth for man to have dominion over.  Most importantly, don’t miss the all important message in these verses about the light that is Jesus Christ.  Don’t miss the message that we are creations of Jesus Christ, we owe Him our worship, our service, and our love.  Don’t believe for a second that some day, if you reject the light that is Jesus Christ, that you will not stand in judgment and be condemned to an eternity without His light.  Be sure you have the light that is Jesus Christ within your heart.
