Genesis We See God Is At Work, And We Learn How God

From Genesis 1.1-2.4a it can be discerned that God is the creator of all. He created the world and its inhabitants from a vast nothingness. The text reflects upon who God is and what His capabilities are through the act of creation. The verses allow that God is communicating with us. It is communicated what Gods will is for man and gives us a history of our beginnings. From the data provided in the verses, scientists can conclude as to the how and why the order of creation came about. For example, light was first, land second, and then plants. Light and land are needed for plats to survive. The passages allude to the fact that He and He

Genesis 1: 27 say’s that “God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” What we know from scripture is that God created human in his likeness. So what is the true theological meaning of being created in the image of God through human nature? This is an ambiguous question. Is it about the physical image, the gender, personality characteristic or rationale? Many people answer these questions in a more subtle way from what they have knowledge for this subject. Tanner gives a quick answer in stating, “to say that human beings are created in the image of God that means, not that human beings have something in them

In Genesis the divine power is God, and one God only. The opening sentence in Genesis refers to one power. That power is also omnipotent. Evidence for that is seen on page eight when God gives clear instructions not to eat “from the tree of knowledge.” This sets up the relationship between humans and God: humans must first seek God’s will. This culture believes all who follow his guidance will be blessed; while all those who go astray will find distress. Just as Adam and Eve found when the ate from the tree of knowledge, and God acrimoniously “terribly sharpen birth pangs, in pang shall you bear children ...”, as well as other deleterious consequences. (Genesis, page 13).

Along with providing information on the origins of the natural world, Genesis also provides insight into how the world was originally intended to function. After God was finished with his creative work, He declared that everything was “very good” (Genesis 1:31). At this point in time, all of creation was living in perfect harmony—until Adam and Eve sinned. After Adam and Eve gave into Satan’s temptation, sin entered the world and changed how the natural world functioned. Genesis chapters 3-11 show continuous examples of how sin infected the natural world. Animals had to be killed (Genesis 3:21 and 4:4), death entered the human race (as can be implied from Genesis

Chapter 1 where verses 1-5 can be found tells that God created the heavens, the earth, and everything that lives. These verses explain that God was the first and only creator. However Genesis later describes a lot more about the creation of the earth. After verses 1-5 in chapter 1 we learn that God continues creating by making humankind in his image and also giving them charge over the earth. We also learn that after the first day of creation in verses 1-5, God continues creating for a total of seven days. After God initially created the earth and light, God on the second day created the sky. On the third day, dry land was created. The fourth day he created the sun, moon, and stars. On the fifth day he created every living creature. The sixth day he made animals and human beings in his own image to commune with them. On the last day God rested and blessed it making his creation holy. At the end of Genesis chapter 1 God had created everything and it was perfect. I think that verses 1-5 fit perfectly with the rest of the chapter because they give a good insight was to how the chapter will continue. They also are very consistent in that they don’t make any drastic changes in the later verses. Verses 1-5 also contribute to the rest of the chapter by setting a starting point for what would be happening and how God would be acting. In this context, my interpretation of these passages helps me to

In the unit one, choosing the Book of Genesis as my story to analyze I believe God has all the power. God all the power to create everything that ever exists. To explains his power, “In the beginning of creation, when God made heaven and earth, the earth was without form and void, with darkness over the face of the abyss, and a mighty wind that swept over the surface of waters. God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light; and God saw that light was good, and he separated light from darkness. He called the light day, and the darkness night. So evening came, and morning came, the first day. “(Volume 1, page 140) God had the power to create and give names for he was the main source of power. His power is very imaginable because we as humans can only create certain

Robert states in chapter one that “Genesis 1-2, the first two chapters of the bible show us God’s original, perfect creation” (27). In this chapter he goes into depth about the creation of the world. Roberts gives us four truths about creation.

Every individual is uniquely created and serve a distinct purpose in life as they have been made in the image of God an deserve to be treated as such without regard to their mental, physical, or social status and regardless of what actions they choose to take. This philosophy and my personal faith drives my work as a nurse. It was on a medical mission trip when I was ten that I first saw what caring for people and their medical needs looks like; since I have a longing desire to care for those in need, and I feel this ultimately led me to the career choice of nursing. I feel most fulfilled when I am serving and caring for others, and my personal nursing attitude is one that is centered on compassion and service.

The bible mentions that God comes before people, and he is the head of everything because he redeemed the entire humanity by his expense. Christianity is based on love, blessing, dignity, respect, compassion and serve others which bring people closer to one another in the world for the purpose of the common good, human, and well- being. Creation of positive environment only possible when people are optimistic, openness, healthy, and joyful oneself and to the God. Therefore, living with respect, caring and sharing will create a better society and environment that helps to promote a healthy lifestyle and improve living conditions of the people. Bible treats every person and people equally without discrimination. Bible directs all humankind to pray and worship for God to grow their knowledge and spiritual wisdom. Furthermore, the bible teaches us love one another, care for poor, sick and ill with compassions. Nursing is based on biblical principles of loving, caring, and respecting all human beings. Therefore, nursing is part of humanity that provides care for everyone without looking into their race, genders, economic status, social conditions and religions. Furthermore, God has given responsibility and opportunity for nurses to promote human life, health, humanity and

As a Nurse it is important to be Christ like because I believe God created nurses to be healers in many aspects. The body needs healing emotionally, physically, and spiritually. As we work with our patients we must remember the unfailing love and

God’s role in the Bible is characterized in several different ways, with dramatically competing attributes. He takes on many functions and, as literary characters are, he is dynamic and changes over time. The portrayal of God is unique in separate books throughout the Bible. This flexibility of role and character is exemplified by the discrepancy in the depiction of God in the book of Genesis in comparison to the depiction of God in the book of Job. On the larger scale, God creates with intention in Genesis in contrast to destroying without reason in Job. However, as the scale gets smaller, God’s creative authority can be seen in both books, yet this creative authority is manifested in entirely distinctive manners. In Genesis, God as

The first work of God found within Scripture is found within Gods account of the creation of cosmos found in Genesis 1:1-31. Genesis 1:1 states, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (New International Version).” In the Hebrew the word bara meaning causing something to come into being that didn’t exist before. This work of God is essential to the Christian faith. In The Genesis Record by author and Professor Henry Morris argues in his book the belief of creationism refutes of all man’s false philosophies including atheism, pantheism, polytheism, materialism,

Did you know that the Holy Bible was written over 3500 years ago ("When Was the Bible Written?" - Biblica. N.p., n.d. Web. 21 Sept. 2016.)? In Genesis 1-4, by God this book was written over thousands ago. This story in the Bible is about one great God putting everything we know into existing and creating human however one of the human named Cain gets jealous of his younger brother Abel and kills him. Ultimately, the story portrays the relationship between creation story, jealousies, love, murder and punishment in mankind. In return of God’s creation being jealous, God states the punishment upon Cain however, God still shows love by letting Cain Know that if anybody body tries to kill will suffer sevenfold vengeance (The Norton Anthology World

The depiction of God in the Bible’s story of creation, namely Genesis, brings to mind the image of an omnipotent, almighty and all-powerful child playing in a sandbox. Like a child his sole purpose seems to be to simply amuse himself, and possibly acquire a source of unconditional love. These needs are in contrast to the classic view of God acting with the idea of an ultimate plan. His actions clearly show that there is no perfect plan, or if there is it must be grossly overcomplicated. Consistently God makes poor decisions, and then eventually acts to fix the situation. The whole scenario conjures up an image of the crew of Apollo 13, alternately breaking things and then patching it together

God being in control and intimately involved with His creation is essential to our faith as Christians. This belief impacts all Believers regardless of vocation however it is especially important for those of us going into ministry as pastors. “I used to ask God to help me. Then I asked if I might help Him. I ended up asking God to do His work through me.”(Hudson Taylor) Throughout all of Scripture we see God alluding to the truth that He created all things and is at work in all things and ultimately it will be God who ends all things. In Genesis 1:1 we see God speak the whole universe into existence and begin to form all things into being. Initially the earth was void and without form until God began His work bringing order to what He
