Genesis 0:0 – In the Beginning

In Christian, Genesis, Through the Bible

The first three verses in the Bible speak about the Trinity of God and Genesis 1:1 starts out as, “In the beginning God …” Now should there be a verse preceding that, what would that be? A youth in our Church once asked me, “Where did God come from?” This is actually a question that many scholars have sought to answer. And amidst my God given wisdom and finite human understanding, all I can do is to turn to the Bible to find the answer. Psalm 90:2 states that before the mountains were brought forth, or the earth and the world was formed i.e., before creation (as expressed in Genesis 1), from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.” In other words, the God of the Bible IS (not was, not will be), He simply IS. He is The I AM.

Points to ponder:
To ask “Where did God come from?” is like asking “Who is the Bachelor’s wife?” Just as someone who is a Bachelor, implies that he does not have a wife, so also to be God, implies that he does not have a beginning (nor an end). Man-made idols who are worshipped as gods have a beginning at the hands of man, unlike the God of the Bible who simply IS.

Jesus, God’s in human form was born amidst men. It was his birth but not his beginning, when he was born into the world he created, for he always IS. In the Beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God (John 1:1-2). Jesus is the Word of God, becoming flesh to dwell amongst men.
In the beginning, God …
In the beginning, was the Word …
In the beginning, God was the Word and the Word was God.
From everlasting to everlasting, Jesus is God.

Jesus wants to be born in your life. Believe in him to be born again. The God of the Bible IS. Are you HIS? If not, believe in Jesus and receive him to be accepted into, and to belong to God’s family.

Psalm 90:2 (KJV)
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

Genesis 1:1 (KJV)
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

John 1:1-3 (KJV)
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.

There is no God :: Covenant and Mercy keeping

In Christian, There is no God

We have often heard of the saying that “The fool says in his heart, there is no God and is corrupt”, but can the wise say,”There is no God”? Solomon, the king of Israel who was known for his wisdom, says, in the dedication of the temple of God, that there is no God – no God like God Almighty who manifested himself fully in the person of Jesus Christ. Solomon affirms in his prayer of dedication, that there is no God in heaven or on the earth beneath, who keeps his covenant and mercy with his servants who walk before him with all their heart (1 Kings 8:23). So next time, a fool (atheist) says “There is no God”, you don’t have to disagree with him/her, but help that person see the error of his/her ways, by elaborating that “Indeed, there is no God like Jesus, who keeps his covenant and mercy to all his fervent and faithful servants.”

Points to ponder:
Jesus amongst other gods stands out for there is no other divinely begotten eternal god – all others are man-made. There is no God like Jesus – for Jesus keeps his covenant and his mercy with all of his servants who walk before him with all their heart. In other words, only if we have an undivided heart dedicated to Jesus, loving him (God) with all our heart, can we affirm and announce, that he is a covenant and mercy keeping God, unlike any other. Is your/my heart completely dedicated to Jesus?

1 Kings 8:22-24 (KJV)
22 And Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven:
23 And he said, Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart:
24 Who hast kept with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him: thou spakest also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day.
