Genesis Ch.1

Father, we thank you for this day. Thank you that this is the day that You have made and we shall be glad and rejoice in it. We welcome You Holy Spirit, speak to our hearts as we read and share the Word together. We ask that You open up the eyes of our understanding to give us revelation in Your Word in the name of Jesus. Amen. Thank you LORD

Chapter 1 is famously known as the creation chapter where the LORD God created all of the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1) by the power of His spoken Word.

The highlight of this chapter is the creation of man on day 6. We see God created man in His own image. Genesis 1:26-27 reads, "Then God said, "Let Us make man in our own image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."

God not only desires for us to have a nature like His but He desires that you recognize you have been made in His own image. This translates into the fulfillment of this Word in 1 John 4:17 that reads, "Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world." This privilege the LORD God has given to every man He has created but God will not violate the principle of choice because as much as He created you in His image, the LORD God wants you to still choose Him. In case you are wondering, you choose Him by receiving relationship with His One and Only Son as your Lord and Saviour because He is our only pathway of direct access to God, the Father.

John 14:6 reads, "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

On that note, if you would like to know about God, the Father who from the beginning of creation has always loved you and desires to commune with you through a personal relationship with His only Son Christ by dwelling on the inside of you and to have eternal and everlasting life including all the blessings found in Christ Jesus - I invite you to make this confession:

"I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that; Jesus Christ, the Son of God came in a human body to die for my sins so that I could have a new life where I am dead to sin and alive to God. I repent of my past sins and enter the Kingdom of light where I choose relationship with Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour and with God as my loving Father today and forever." AMEN.

Congratulations, by grace you are saved and are now a new creation in Christ Jesus. The old life has passed away and you have received the free gift of salvation into your life (2 Corinthians 5:17) where you get to freely access everything I've shared in this post. To the glory of the Almighty God. Amen.

"I said, "You are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High."

HALLELUJAH, GLORY TO GOD.
