Written 9/7/21
Did you ever notice that God says, sees, does and then judges? I mean, look at Genesis One. It’s all about the formation of the world. God thinks it, says it and observes, and then determines if it is good. Oh, and by the way, God also gives it a name. And he tells it what to do. For instance, God said, “Let there be light,” and there was. God determined that the light was good. Then he separated light from dark. Then He gave it a name. God called the light “day,” and the darkness “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning - and the first day was made. This is the recipe God used to create the whole wide world - the heavens and the earth - the sky, the land, the sun, the stars and the moon. God said, and so it was. He made the seas, and all kinds of living things like scaled fish and winged birds. He created the wild animals and the livestock, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. God observed, and saw that it was good. And all of this happened in five creation days! Then, on Day 6, God said something interesting. He spoke to somebody, and said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” The 6th Day is when God created mankind; “male and female - he created them.” “And then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground. I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it I give every green plant for food.” “And it was so.” “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning - the sixth day” was born. Genesis 1:3-31 So i have a question for you. If God made mankind, male and female - in his own image, and determined that together, they were very good, then what the hell went wrong? Why aren't humans living with God in His Garden? Why aren’t humans doing what we were created for? Well, the answer is coming soon. The answer is found in Genesis Chapter 3.
