Bible class # 3 - CREATION, AND THE CREATOR - Code: C; color: orange.

As Christians, we know where we came from! We know because the Bible, the true word of God, tells us. It declares that we came from the hand of a loving Creator who formed us in His own image.

A child doesn't remember how he came into this world but he knows because he believes what his loving parents have told him. Now there have been some confused children because someone told them "stork stories" and other lies. Likewise, there are many confused people in the world today because of the atheistic evolution stories and other lies that have been told to them by seemingly wise scientific people.

God warned us ahead of time to beware of false theories of origins. His word declares that in the last days before Jesus returns, men would arise professing great wisdom with a new "evolution" theory. They would say that all things continue as they were from the beginning, which is the "uniformity" theory upon which modern evolution is built! They would deny that there ever was a world flood or a sudden creation. It would be well to read this prophecy of 2 Pet.3:3-8, and analyze it before marking the creation texts.

 

 

1. Gen.1:1-3,26 - Where did our earth come from?

 

Gen. 1:1. In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. 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. 3. And God said, let there be light: and there was light.

 

   ---The dictionary definition of create is "to bring into being; to cause to exist. Creation means "(1) Act of being created; specif., the act of causing to exist, or fact of being brought into existence, by divine power; esp., the act of bringing this world into existence out of nothing." (Webster's collegiate dictionary)

   ---What pronouns are used to show that "God" has a plural meaning?

 

Gen. 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 creepeth upon the earth.

   --Circle the words: us, our & our. "Man" also had a plural meaning for it included Adam and Eve. The Divine family of God created the human family of man.

 

2. Ps.33:6,9 - Was creation a long process, or by a word?

 

Ps.33:6. By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. 9. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

 

3. Heb.11:3 - Did God depend on pre-existing matter?

 

Heb.11:3. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

 

4. John 1:1-3,14,10 - How does this gospel (good news) of John introduce Jesus?

 

Jn.1:1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2. The same was in the beginning with God. 3. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made...14. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

 

 

He is called the "Word" and declared to be God. Any translation that reads "a god" is not in harmony with the gospel messages of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They were all written to show that Jesus was the promised Messiah of the Old Testament, that He was God in the flesh, that He was Divine and eternal, but born of a woman, and that He, as an active member of the God family, created everything! Amazing! THE GREAT CREATOR BECAME OUR SAVIOUR!

 

 Did the world recognize Jesus as Creator?

 

10. He was in the world, and the world was made by him and the world knew him not. ?

 

His own people crucified him. Did human creatures kill their Creator? No, it was more than that, for the rest of this gospel story states that the Creator gave himself as a lamb sacrifice for the salvation of a fallen race! (see Jn.1:29,36;3:16)

 

5.Eph.3:9 - How much did Jesus Christ create?

 

Eph.3: 9. And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.

 

6. Jer.10:11-12 - What distinguishes our God from other gods?

 

Jer.10: LB  6. 0 Lord, there is no other god like you. For you are great and your name is full of power. 7. Who would not fear you, 0 King of nations?
