Theo 201 Week 1 Essay

God’s continuing work can be seen in the incarnation of Christ and his redemptive work. “Christ is the visible image of the invisible God…God created the things we can see and the things we cannot see…everything was created through him and for him. He existed before anything else and he holds all creation together” (Colossians 1:16, 17). Not only is Jesus the exact representation of God, but he is God himself who worked with the Father in creating the world – the sustainer of everything (Hebrews 1:3). “Because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan” (Ephesians 1:11). This means that, “his will may be disobeyed, but his ultimate purpose cannot be frustrated, for he overrules the disobedience in his creatures in such a way that it sub serves his purpose” (Akin 2014, 235). Here we can clearly see God’s sovereignty and that we can rest in the truth that Jesus is Lord and God is in control. God’s involvement in our lives goes even deeper and shows us that he is personal and wants relationships with his creation. He not only spoke with Old Testament figures such as Adam, Abraham, Isaac and Moses, he held relationships with them through guidance and even discipline (Genesis 1:28, 3:8, 12:1, 26:5; Exodus 11, 19, 20, 33:11). Amos 4:13 says that God reveals His thoughts to man. We often

One of our purposes in life is to take care of the earth and animal life that God has given to us. God created everything not just

Humans are God’s precious children. He created us from his image. God gave us the earth and animals for us the appreciate and care for, for its resources and food. Genesis 2:15

The objective is to successfully convert the United States Army Medical Department from EMR to AHLTA. There are trainers that are set in place to ensure that the staff receives their full attention and that they also feel comfortable with the software. The outcome of this would be to have the ability to easily communicate electronically regarding

God created the heavens and the earth and everything in it. He shaped it all out of nothing. He breathed life into it. Everywhere we look, He reveals himself to us. He also reveals Himself to us as individuals and it is our responsibility to seek Him with our whole selves. These two different ways He reaches out to us are called general and special revelation.

that we could have eternal life. Without God, there would be no world because he is the creator of everything. God is omniscient or all – knowing. He is the Alpha and the Omega and knows the beginning from the end. God is sovereign which expresses the fact that nothing is beyond his ultimate interest, control, and authority. God is full of goodness which can be expressed through holiness and love. God’s holiness emphasizes his absolute righteousness, and his love which will not abandon us in times of need.

God does not hold Himself distant from His creation, but He embraces it; He walks with it. He engages with that which He created. The story of Creation shows that the author of it all is personal, intimate, and cares about what He created. Act one gives us a glimpse of how the world was supposed to be; a beautiful, intimate, God –in –the –midst life of perfect satisfaction with the absence of sin. However, this all crumbled in Act two when Adam and Eve decided to disobey God and take their lives into

At this point I do believe that God is happy with all of his creations. He created the earth and all that is in it from the heavens, the earth, the waters under the earth and all that resides on the dry land of earth, but he feels that the earth is still incomplete without human representation which is why Adam, a human presence was created by God to hold a special place in this creation. The human existence was created in image of God to represent God’s divine intentions and activity. God made woman for man, i.e. Eve for

Creation was to be under the care of humans (Genesis 1:28; 2:15-20), but the Bible tells us that creation was impacted by our sin (Genesis 3:17-19, Romans 8:19-21) and anticipates being redeemed from the sin’s effects. It is possible to conclude that, as caretakers of creation, humans have an obligation to “fix” the effects of the sin curse and attempt to bring things into a better alignment,

As a natural law thinker, I am inclined to believe that because God created me, as such, I am inherently good. Everything God created is inherently good. According to Thomas Aquinas, because God's creation is ordered by reason, the order of nature is reasonable and directed toward the common good of the whole creation. (p. 124). God, as the author of the creation, has the authority to create laws directing our actions toward the common good. God made them known to us in various ways so that we may use our own judgment in following them. As I a was created by God, in his image, I had received from him the knowledge of what is right and what is wrong. That knowledge was incarnate into my existence so that I might follow it to make choices

He distinguishes his inventions with minute details and yet, simultaneously, the entire creation is pure and simple. There is no elaboration; his ideas just come into being. Once each individual creation has come to be, God sees that is it good. Additionally, God is reasonable. There is a logical reason and a unique place for everything: “God made the dome and separated the waters that were under the dome from the waters that were above the dome” (Genesis 1:7). In addition to the content of God’s will and creations, the repetition and standardization of the verses in Genesis 1 reflect his steadiness as a creator.

God created this world perfect, The Bible records in Genesis 1 after God created everything he said:“it is good”. In addition, after he created the man, he said: “it is very good”. In the beginning, after God created the heavens and the earth, there were no rape, no killing, no hunger, and no alcoholism there were no difficulties everything was provided for and it was good.

Genesis 1:26, God said “Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the bird of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animal of the earth, and over every creeps upon the earth.” I think this is the image of human dignity. We can simplify this by saying that we are smarter than other creatures in this earth. In my opinion from a person who doesn’t have any religion, I don’t believe in this. Because I always believe that human has been developing in a long way of evolution, and now I just learnt a new conception which is god created human. It is really interesting but

When you really break it down you can see that all things are truly created by God. Some may disagree and say that man has created everything from nails to computers, but the Lord

God interacts with the world in a very unique way. He works by using people as conduits with whom He will ultimately achieve His goal of the Divine Plan. Throughout the Book of Genesis, many cycles of protagonists appear with whom God chooses to interact. In one such cycle, the Jacob Cycle, God influences, molds, and guides Jacob in increasingly personal ways. God influences Jacob throughout his childhood, his journey to Haran, his journey from Haran, and finally, with one last test of will. Throughout the guidance, God’s increasing trust in Jacob allows for an eventual transformation of the relationship, where Jacob morphs into God’s Israel.
