Genesis

 

Genesis

God’s Spirit hovered over the hand of Moses as he pondered over the words to write in the “Book of Beginnings”.

Moses wasn’t even born when the events happened that he wrote about in Genesis. It was 300 years after Joseph died that he wrote the words.

The divinity of God directed Moses to write to the people of Israel a book of beginnings that contained parts of the glory that would accomplish God’s purpose. 2 Tim. 316, 2 Peter 1:21.

Genesis began with the creation of men who was entrusted with things created. Then came sin into the human race through the disobedience of Adam and Eve. Through them knowledge between good and evil was attained.

Genesis reveals the lives of people that are just like us, people with real problems like fear, loneliness, jealousy, despair and anger. His compassion and grace shows through Adam, Noah, Jacob, Abraham, Isaac and Joseph. This is the ancestry of Jesus.

He works patiently with imperfect people, and their faith grows strong above their imperfections. God loves them, comforts them, and guides them. No matter how bad things get, He does the same for us.

God’s mercy was apparent in the preservation of Noah through the flood. When Noah’s descendants ignored the revelation of God. God made a promise to Abraham and his descendants. Genesis 12:25. Through Abraham the experiences of Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph become aware of the hope of the Messiah and God’s Salvation.

God has unswerving loyalty to a planet full of people who have turned their backs on Him. Yet God is in control and is sovereign over all, including Satan who attempts to destroy that which God called “good.”

No matter what life brings, God has a plan and His ultimate plan cannot be frustrated. We can trust God’s goodness and His ability to make sense of our lives in an upside down world.

Please read the Book listed so that you can understand the word of God to its fullness. This study comes from The Jeremiah Study Bible, The Bible for Hope, The King James Bible and the Nelson’s Quick Reference Bible Commentary.

So Not Everyone Has Peace?

 So Not Everyone Has Peace?

John 16:33 "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world."

Isaiah 48:22 "there is no peace, saith the Lord unto the wicked."

Isaiah 59:8 there is no justice in their goings, they have made crooked paths. Whosoever goes in them shall not know peace."

Deuteronomy 23:6 God spoke of the peace of those who worshiped Balaam. We are not to seek after their peace and prosperity. Sin can build into a form of peace.

Will we always have peace?

Romans 14:19 "Let us therefore, follow after the things which make for peace, and things with which one may edify another."

Peace

 Peace

An undisturbed state of mind, absence of mental conflict, calm, quiet tranquility, to be or become silent or quiet.

Where does peace come from? Luke 1:51 - Zachariah foretells the birth of Jesus. He says, "He come to give light to them that sit in the darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet in the way of peace."

John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. This not only tells us where peace comes from, but it is a peace of comfort. 

God makes peace. Isaiah 45:5-7

Genesis 14:6 Joshua told Pharoah that peace does not come from him but from God who will give him peace concerning his dreams.

Numbers 6:22-27. Moses told Aaron to tell the Israelites that the Lord will give them peace. This is while they were in the wilderness.

Psalm 4 David wrote this in all probability to encourage the rowdy bunch that traveled with him while he was hiding from King Saul.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 There is a time for peace.

Who shall have Peace?

Isaiah 26:3,4 "peace for those who keep their mind on God."

Isaiah 32:17 "And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quiet and assurance forever"

Romans 5:1 "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through or Lord Jesus Christ."

Faith in Christ

 Faith in Christ

Faith in Christ means Christ has done the work for us.

Faith = Salvation + works saved by God, through grace, through faith in Jesus Christ. 

Jesus accomplished Salvation. It is not what we do, it's what He's done. 

The Gospel is central. Of God's Love. Every word is about Jesus. 2 Timothy 3:16 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."

Christ conquers our giants, not us. 

Now matter how strong or how clever we are, we can't win our battles on our own.

The only reason we sin is because we love it. It's tempting and looks or feels good. 

God says in John 14:15 "If you love me, keep my commandments."
