Am I really living like I believe Genesis 1:1?
The ten words in Genesis 1:1 are a basic statement that is believed or doubted, with eternal consequences resting on the result of that faith or unbelief in the Creator, the God of the universe, the Savior available to all.
God, and no other God, offers unmerited and guaranteed salvation for trust in Jesus Christ alone.
The Creation of the World
1 “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” (ESV)
“Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” (Isaiah 43:19 AMP)
“BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather. But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night.” [Rom. 13:8-10; Gal. 3:1-29; II Tim. 3:16.] (Psalm 1:1, 2 AMP
Prophecy of Christ and Fulfillment
“If you will turn (repent) and give heed to my reproof, behold, I [Wisdom] will pour out my spirit upon you, I will make my words known to you.” [Isa. 11:2; Eph. 1:17-20.] (Proverbs 1:23 AMP)
“All who see me laugh at me and mock me; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, [Matt. 27:43.] (Psalm 22:7 AMP)
“’He trusts in God; let God deliver Him now if He cares for Him and will have Him, for He said, I am the Son of God.’ And the robbers who were crucified with Him also abused and reproached and made sport of Him in the same way.” (Matthew 27:43, 44 AMP)
