Genesis 1:1 – is
where it (or in) all starts! The first verse in the Bible starts with the
word in! How you respond to those first four words "In the Beginning
God" will show your world view. It will be worldly or through the filter
of Scripture. Let's break down this critical verse.
In – “are you in or
out”, “for me or against me”, My will or your will”, “walk by sight or faith”,
and it boils down to are you a “My way or God’s way person”?
The beginning –
onset, a starting time or place, the first part, starts where you are, and a
change can start right now.
God –
created-destroyed-saved-promised-conquered-punished-was quiet-sent
Jesus-lived-died-rose-coming back. Are you ready?
Created – came in to
being, formed, changed, brought forth, originated, and made happen. God spoke
everything in to being.
The Heavens –
destination, glory, perfection, holiness, light, and the Revelation.
And the Earth – where
we are, we have a purpose, and our current life. We must live in it
but are not to be confirmed or shaped by it.
Intentionally live
for God's purposes. Amen?
