Genesis 1:6-8

And God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.”  And God made the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so.  And God called the expanse Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.

 

************

 

   “And God said”, it lets God to make something as “God made the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse”.

 

   “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.”(John 1:1-3)

 

   The Word can make everything to show the creation of God. The Word becomes flesh and dwells among us, His name is Jesus. We are saved form sin and death by Him. He is our Lord, Jesus Christ.

 

 

 

Genesis 1:3-5

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.  And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness.  God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

   “And God said”, this description lets us know that the Word of God is showing. It means the Word of God attends the work of creation. The Word of God is equal to Christ. So Father, Christ and Spirit are also Creator, but we cannot say there are three gods. There is only One God.

 

   “And God saw that the light was good”, it lets us recognize the light is very special. The light lets time become obvious. It is beginning to distinguish the day and the night. So “there was evening and there was morning, the first day”.

 

    Our life is limited by the day and the night. We work in the day and rest in the night. The cycle of the day and the night displays in our life. Then it has month and year. We must live to glorify God, for He is our Creator and Lord.

 

 

 

Genesis 1:2

 

The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

 

************

 

   The Spirit of God is Holy Spirit. He is also the creator of the world. We do not think Him as only a power but not God.

 

   “The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep”. From this description, we can know the work of creation of Holy Spirit. For Holy Spirit renewed the earth, we can have a beautiful world to live in.   

 

    The Holy Spirit always gives us the magic power in the life. He also lives in our heart. He lets Jesus resurrect and gives us resurrection life. He is with us forever!

 

Genesis 1:1

 

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

 

************

 

   God created the heavens and the earth. Then “time” is become meaningful. So time is “in the beginning”! No the heavens and the earth is also no beginning, it means God does not be limited by time as space.

 

   God does not only create space but also time. We are limited by time and space. So we have birth and death but God have not. God is everlasting but we are not!

 

   God is our Creator, so we must worship Him. We must tell the world: God created the heavens and the earth. Let somebody believe in God! Amen!

 

創世記2:4

 

創造天地的來歷，在耶和華上帝造天地的日子，乃是這樣，

 

This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.

 

**************

 

    在《創世記》甚至是整本聖經，都要向我們宣告一個事實，就是：耶和華上帝造天地！

 

    也因為這樣，為有耶和華是上帝！若是以其他神來代替耶和華，就是與上帝斷絕關係了，下場就是愁苦加增，正如詩人所說：「以別神代替耶和華的（或譯：送禮物給別神的），他們的愁苦必加增；他們所澆奠的血我不獻上；我嘴唇也不提別神的名號。」(詩篇16:4)

 

    因此，我們要勇敢宣告：唯有創造天地的耶和華是上帝！要將榮耀和讚美永遠歸給上帝，不可以歸給自己和偶像！
