Humans are naturally dependent people, although they desperately try to be independent. Each person was created to live in relationship with people, and this desire to love and be loved is ingrained into humanity because the Creator is a relational being. The Creator of the heavens and earth loves humans so deeply, He sacrificed His own son to restore the relationship between His perfect self and imperfect humans. God, the creator of all things, desires to have an intimate and personal relationship with every individual, but human sin prevents that from happening. However, since God is more powerful than sin He had a plan to reconcile and restore humanity to Him before the world was even created.
Creation
Everything seen and unseen, all the intricate details of the world, and all the particulars about the way the universe works was lovingly created by God. Genesis documents the creation process in which an almighty and perfect God spoke everything into existence, including light and darkness. His voice alone holds the power to create everything from nothing, but His love caused Him to form mankind. Instead of speaking man into existence, He “formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life” (Genesis 2:7). This breath gave humans a spirit that was intimately connected to God. Creation was made so God could share His abundant love with mankind. For a while, everything was perfect. Adam and Eve, the first humans, were able to walk
“And God said let there be light, and there was light…” according to the Genesis story, an entity which bears no tangible face or bodily structure created the world with nothing more than a swift tongue. It bore the shape of the earth, the plentiful bounty of the soil, the beauty of animals, and the wonder known as humanity all within the time span of seven days. It created the notion of societal law, moral principle, and a reverence for a deity by loyal subjects. And it instituted a harsh rule of law which instigated the idea that if any part of you, mind or body, were to disobey it, you would be punished in the now and in the after. Nonetheless, the Christian telling of how our world came to be, although following a path negligent of the
In the beginning of times, written in the book of Genesis, God created the heaven and earth. He created light and darkness; sky and sea; land and vegetation stars, sun and the moon; sea creatures including fish and birds; and lastly animals and mankind. He began with his image of the man. He built him so perfectly and created a wife for him through his rib. The women became second to the man. The women is the helper of the man, to procreate and obey the man. God created the man to be the head of the house and the women to be submissive of the
The first sign of life were the children of Mother Earth and Father Heaven, whom were monsters.
Looking different doesn’t mean you are different. In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the master and his creation appear similar than one might think. Victor Frankenstein is a smart young man waiting to see what the world has to offer. When he was a little boy he would read books written by alchemists. Later on he decides to sets out on a mission to learn what he can about the world. Victor is like most boys, but he has plans that no one would ever think of. With science he has plans to create life. His fascination of acquiring knowledge has lead him up to this point. Victor’s creation shares remarkable similarities with Victor. Frankenstein illustrates that the monster and Victor are different in appearance, but are similar in terms of
God created everything and everyone, and he continues to live amongst us all. In the beginning God created the world, and us to live as an example of Him, and to continue life showing others His grace. One can only portray God like characteristics if they are allowing Him to live inside their heart. Everyone will fall short because the only perfect person is no longer walking this earth. It is important to continue with strong God like characteristics to allow others to see the grace that God shed.
Most of the people and scientists believe that there was nothing before creation and there was darkness. Previous studies reveal that there was something and nothing is lie. There waas something behind nothing. The religious believe that there was existence of God but they have question at the same time that if there is God behind the creation then what before God? The next question which rises in the mind of people is that if God has created Universe then why did not he create before? Nothing is forever while everything got destroyed and will be destroyed. There will be nothing at universe one day and it will revert as it was before. But different religion shows that the only thing which is eternal is God and Heaven. If we study science, the scientists claim that creation was accidental and was created due to exploitation of star. The religious people believe that it was planned. Different religions have different myths. The concept of heaven and hell also exists that God has created Heaven and then created Universe. There is no one who is responsible for creation while God as per religious people belong to different religion. He has created this universe while some scantiest believe that it has been created accidently. It is stated that as per bible and books of other religion, heaven was
Creation talks much about how on the first day God created the heavens and the earth, the second he made light and darkness, the third he made the land and the sea. On the fourth he made the stars and the planets, the fifth he made the birds of the air and the creatures of the land, the sixth he made man. Finally, on the seventh day he rested. The earth was formless with not a single living being. There was nothing and then God made that nothing, into a complex galaxy of beauty. People usually tend to look outside at trees blowing in the wind or the birds soaring above them and feel that someone, somewhere, had to have made all these
In the beginning, there was darkness. Nothing except one person. This person was a god. And his name was O Theo Solon. Which means god of all. O Theo Solon was bored and lonely. So he created a ball, which was the earth. It was just a ball containing nothing inside it except air. He hadn’t put anything inside the earth yet. After he made the earth, he needed light to see. So he made the sun just with a snap of his fingers. And he made the moon and stars for the night. Later, he made the land and seas to fill the earth. O Theo Solon rested, and after a while, he saw the earth was lonely just like he was. There was nothing in the earth except land, water, and air. O Theo Solon decided to create animals to fill the lands, waters, and air. He wondered
Two world views on creation were discussed by Lennox between the Israelites and the neighbors of the Israelites. The first being, the Israelites believed that God created the world out of nothing yet the neighbors of the Israelites believed that their gods created the world out of materials that were already present. Israel believed God made humanity with purpose,great design, and good, whereas Israel’s neighbors thought that the gods created humanity as an afterthought, with little purpose, and humans were made from the bad blood of an evil god, so they were not good. Lastly, Israelites believed that God created the world to sustain on it’s own, to continue to grow from itself and thrive, yet their neighbors believed that after all of
Almighty God created the heavens and the universe. God created a finite world in which we find a vast series of beings have been called into existence living creatures, animals and plants that inhabit the world. (Greig). The history of the world is divinely created in that not only the beings came into existence, but also God created earth, the sun, the moon and all the planets. According to Greig he states, “There was a time in the history of the finite world when there was neither the sun or the moon, nor earth, when the matter of which all these bodies are composed was diffused in a previous state…Creation is that which is the work of an intelligent being…It is the giving of existence, by an intelligent being, to that which had previously
Genesis 1:1 is simple as it is profound. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. That which we call the uniformity of nature is a reflection of the nature of God (Prov. 3:19). Our God is a God of knowledge
God created humanity as an expression of His loving, relational character. In His wisdom, and because He is the Creator and sustainer of love, God created man with the free will to choose whether or not to love and worship Him in return. Adam and Eve’s choice to disobey initiated sin into the life of man, disconnecting the spiritual union they had with the Lord. From that very moment,
In Genesis 1, the pinnacle of creations is that of humanity was made out of the image of God. According to Got Question Ministries, Human nature is that which makes us distinctly human; our nature is unique from that of the animals and the rest of his creations in that as humans we can think and feel. (Hoekema, A.) We have the capability to rationalize, no other being has this capacity and this gift is bestowed by God. The bible demonstrates to us that our Father made humans as a representation of himself which allows us to have some understanding of him. We reflect some of God’s attributes; we love because we are made in the image of God, who is love. (1 John 4:16). God made us to be loved. Our purpose as humans is to endure and withstand life through reproduction, and to develop moral values that make life meaningful. Most importantly to commit to humanity as a whole to build a better would for current and future generations. As the bible repeats that the human were created out of good (Genesis 1:31 NIV), the goodness was eventually marred by the
“1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth... 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light... 6 And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.”... 11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.”... 14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years... 20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.”... 24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds:the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.”...26 Then God
As we sit outside today and look around us, there is no doubt that there was a lot of creativity and power that went into creating our world/universe(s). It is even more magnificent to think that there was nothing before this beautiful creation started, “Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters (Genesis 1:2, New International Version (NIV)”. The Bible is clear on the fact that God, by himself was and is the only creator, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1, NIV).” In the Arnold and Beyer (2015) book, it recalls the fact that as God spoke things into existence, it happened (p. 54). Everything was in direct correlation with God speaking it light/sun, dark/moon etc. “Then God said,” let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness. . .” (Genesis 1:26, NIV).” According to Arnold and Beyer (2015, p. 55) when God told the male and female to be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28), that revealed the communication between
