The Creation Story Truth
In the beginning God created the Heaven and the earth.
You've read the story a hundred times before with your good
intentions of starting at the beginning and reading the whole
Bible. However ... Let's look at the story with a little discernment.
Let's read between the lines.
The earth had no shape or form at all. Then, the Spirit
of God moved upon the face of the waters.
This tells us that the Holy Spirit has been with us since the
beginning.
Day 1: God said to the Holy Spirit, Let there be light: and
there was.
Day 2: God created the firmament. What is the firmament? God
called it Heaven.
Day 3: God created dry land which separated the water into
Seas. Then He made grass, plant life and trees.
Day 4: God created the sun, moon, and stars.
Day 5: God created all sea life and all things that fly.
Day 6: God created all the rest of the living creatures that
move on the earth. And then ... God created man.
Genesis 1:26-27
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 is His own image, in
the image of God created He him; male and female
created He them.
Oh now that is sooooooo cool. We are made in the image of God.
But, how are we made in the image of God? We know that there are
different genders, races, sizes, shapes, demeanors, etc. of humans so
He must be referring to a spiritual likeness of some sort.
Let us investigate this further shall we? Let's look at the statement
again:
Genesis 1:26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our
likeness:
Creation Bible Study on the Trinity
The Creation Story Mystery
Who is God talking to? The answer is ... He is talking to Himself ...
Sort of.
Now, I know this sounds a little strange to us mortals, but it's true
... It's going to get a little stranger but in the end you will say
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
1 John 5:7
There are three that bear record in Heaven, the Father, the Word and
the Holy Ghost and these three are one.
See, there are three entities that are really one. Let's take a
closer look at who these three are ... The Bible said they were:
The
Father ... Which is obviously God
The Word ... Which is Jesus (John
1:1-5) and
The Holy Ghost ... Which is the Holy Spirit
Many call this the Trinity.
So according to the Bible ... God has three parts of Himself which
all make One. We were created in like manner in that we also
have three parts. The soul, the flesh and the spirit also known as
the spirit, the water and the blood.
We were created in God's image:
1 John 5:8
And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the
water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
Let's talk about our three parts and see if we can prove it ... Let's
look at the spirit the water and the blood ...
Our bodies are made up of mostly what? Water. Therefore the
water is the Flesh. Our blood which includes our DNA,
distinguishes us, one from the other so this is our Soul.
Perhaps that is why the Bible says that Abel's blood cried out
to God, to identify it's owner to God (Genesis
4:10). The spirit is given to us by God and departs from
us when we die and is why you will find it says that people gave up
the ghost or spirit when they died, in the Bible.
Taking this a little further ... That means that our flesh (body) and
our spirit is subject to our soul (mind). God said "Let there be" and
God's Spirit said "gotcha" and brought it to pass. Jesus, being the
Body or Flesh of God, performed God's will. So what our Soul desires
and believes, our spirit will bring forth. It's so true. Let's say
you hear that a loved one passed away, your spirit reacts to you
and is all of the sudden sad and your body reacts to your
thoughts and changes. Sometimes fear and even Love causes butterflies
in the stomach which is the flesh. Same with all other thoughts that
cause emotion.
Did you know that the senses are what we use to obtain thoughts?
There are actually 6 senses ... What we see, hear, smell, feel, taste
and think. That's right, we get thoughts. Sometimes they are
from the depths of our minds. Sometimes they are from God and
sometimes ... They are not. The devil likes to use our senses to gain
entry to our spirit. If he can make you think something, then
he knows your spirit will react and God judges the spirit. Pretty
clever huh?
The devil likes to use our thoughts and control our actions and
feelings like some kind of puppet. Well it sounds like we need to
control our thoughts and as we all know ... That is the
hard part. You aren't alone. Even Paul said I do that which I would
not do. So what do we do? Pray for God to help you control your
thoughts in order for you to perform His will.
Awesome Stuff!
Make sure you ponder on this my friend. As we were created to do ...
In His image.
This shows that the Holy Spirit is God. Think of it this way.
If your name was Junior, you might say to yourself, "Okay, Junior,
today we're going to start a new Bible study program." You
are talking to your spirit, which is you.
Soooooooooooooo, when God said (Genesis
1:26) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our
likeness ... God was talking to Himself ... Sort of.
Let's get back to the Creation, shall we?
After God created mankind in His image, God blessed mankind and told
them to be productive, fill the earth, and control it. He
gave us power over all the other creatures that He made and said
that the plants He created would be for food.
Day 7: On the seventh day, God rested. Imagine if you can, the
greatness of God, and how precious His rest is. He blessed the
seventh day and set it apart because it was so dear to Him. We call
it the Sabbath. The fourth commandment says to keep the Sabbath Holy.
Jesus told us that Sabbath was made for man and not man for the
Sabbath (Day of rest). Now the Sabbath is actually Friday night to
Saturday night in Israel and not Sunday as many practice in
the United States. Sunday is the Lord's Day which is the Day the Lord
was resurrected. Even our calendars reveal this truth. Sunday is at
the start of the week. As it says in the Bible ... Jesus was raised
on the first day of the week. (Matthew
28:1) Just a little tidbit for you in case you didn't know.
Creation Bible Study Summary
The Creation Story Conclusion
And that, my friends, is the true story of creation. There is
nothing about a big bang, or how a huge explosion can cause something
as miraculous as mankind with all of our creativity originating from
an organism in the ocean. It was all created by God, not some
monkey business. Many refuse to give Him the glory for His own
creation. Take care and be sure to look for the next study of the
Bible ... Adam and Eve ... Right here at Daily Bread.
