Share
The very first sentence of a book can tell a lot about a story. One of the most searched Bible verses is Genesis 1:1. The very first verse of the Bible tells us quite a lot about who God is and who we are; it puts so much into perspective and sets the tone of the Bible. Today we are going to look into why Genesis 1:1 is so significant in our understanding of God.
We are reborn when we accept Jesus as Savior; we are recreated by His Holy Spirit within us. Where Adam was the firstborn of creation and he sinned, Jesus is the firstborn of creation who never sinned and lived the perfect life!
When was the last time that you looked up at the night sky or saw the beauty of a sunset? There is a great mystery in the skies. There is a beautiful design that is undeniable. From the highest of heavens and the solar system, to the deepest parts of the oceans to the furthest of lands, our God made all of it. From the smallest insect to the largest mammal, the Lord created them and designed every single one.
This reminds us that when we look around at creation, we can see that there is a Creator God. There is evidence through the power, precision, quality, and the beautiful working of nature.
As we ponder the greatness of our Creator, reflect the value of being His beloved creations and through Jesus, His children, may we glorify Him. As we look around the world that surrounds us, may we be in awe that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and everything is worshiping Him. We can join in and celebrate His creativity!
