God Is The Creator: Part 3

TBC Glassboro Sermons and More · God Is The Creator: Part 3
That creation has a beginning, and an end is the testimony of Scripture.  The Hebrew term b’rêshîth or beginning in Genesis 1:1 refers to an absolute beginning.  The translators of the Septuagint understood this when they translated b’rêshîth as en archē, which also refers to an absolute beginning.  Therefore, time, space, matter, energy, ultimately the universe all had an absolute beginning.

Time’s beginning is established on the first day of creation. 

  • God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. - Genesis 1:5

The Hebrew term translated as a day is yōm.  Yōm refers to a literal, twenty-four hour cycle.   During the first twenty-four-hour cycle of creation, God separated the darkness and the light into evening and morning.  This twenty-four-hour cycle, divided between evening and morning, continued throughout the next five days and continues even into the present.  

Along with time, God created space and matter.

  • Thus says God the Lord, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread out the earth and its offspring, Who gives breath to the people on it And spirit to those who walk in it,          - Isaiah 42:5
  • For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens (He is the God who formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not create it a waste place, but formed it to be inhabited), I am the Lord, and there is none else. - Isaiah 45:18

All things, both visible and invisible, within the realm of space and matter, were created by God. 

  • In whose hand are the depths of the earth, The peaks of the mountains are His also. The sea is His, for it was He who made it, And His hands formed the dry land. - Psalm 95:4-5
  • The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth… He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things; - Acts 17-24a-25b

    WHY TWO MINUTES?

    The Two-Minute Rule states “When you start a new habit, it should take less than two minutes to do.”   The idea behind the rule is to make a habit easy to start.
    One of the goals for 2-Minute Theology is to help believers develop a theological habit.
    Another goal is to provide believers with a resource they can use to 'test the spirits' to see if they are from God.
