Aug 31, 2018 · Here are a few questions that we might want to consider in class: Normally, we think of things as having meaning within a context. In Genesis 1, God is revealed as the context for everything. Do we want to contemplate the implications of that?
- Genesis 1:1 in The Beginning, God

- Conclusion
1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” First of all, and before any creature was, God made heaven and earth out of nothing. Next, of all that is in the world, the universe and all things in it were created directly by God out of fiat, or out of nothing except His Word. This must be the cause for the effect of all created thin...
1:1-2 “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” Are all Three Persons of the Godhead involved? It appears that this is so because the Hebrew word used for God is “Elohim” and is plural. By the way, there is a Hebrew word for “dual” and it is not...
1:4-6 “And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.” The Hebrew word for day is “yom” and is a 24 hour period…not days as in the plural form so we can conclude that the “day is as a thousand ...
1:11“And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, [and] the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed [is] in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.” Notice that the provisions for both man and beast and fowl had to be created first, so as to sustain them but was the statement “and it was so” the very moment of ...
1:14“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.” Was this light in the firmament only the sun and moon or did it mean the stars as well? Was the starlight already reaching the earth? Was the day “from sunset to sunset” as in ...
1:20“And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl [that] may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.” Was aquatic life created at this point? Did the birds (fowls) and “moving creatures” already exist by this time? No, the waters prior to the creaturely life had already existed and had...
1:26“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 creeps upon the earth.” Again, why does Moses write that God said “Let us” make man in our image? What does it mean to...
Finally; we see that God breathed into man the breath of life so God is the Author of Life. Mankind creation is declared as fact and is contrary to the molecules-to-man theory that continuously changes, just like the recent scientific community’s shift away from the Big Bang Theory. The Bible is not necessarily a science book about the heavens, alt...

There was light: Genesis tells us that light, day, and night each existed before the sun and the moon were created on the fourth day (Genesis 1:14-19). This shows us that light is more than a physical substance; it also has a supernatural aspect.
How does the creation of light before the creation of the sun, moon, and stars affect your understanding of "light" and "darkness" in a spiritual sense? 6. How does the notion of God's blessing and provision in Genesis Chapter 1 guide your view on gratitude and contentment?
Genesis 1:14-19 And God said, 'Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth.' And it was so. 16 God made two great lights - the greater light to govern the day and ...
A believer without a firm foundation has a faith that is kind of hanging there. What is the meaning of Christ if God is not the Creator? Where did death and sin come from if not from the Garden of Eden? The Book of Genesis teaches us all the answers to the most basic question, “Where are we from?”
