Title: Life with God
Contents
(Genesis 1:1-5, King James Version) 『[1] In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. [2] The earth was formless and empty, and darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of God moved on the waters. [3] God said, Light. Let there be, and there was light, [4] and God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness, [5] and he called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. Inira”
1. Let's start with God.
『[1] In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.』
2. The problems of life are those of darkness, chaos, and emptiness. But there is hope. The Holy Spirit runs
(Genesis 1:2) “The earth was formless and empty, and darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of God moved over the waters.”
(John 1:1-7) 『[1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [4] In him was life, and the life was the light of men, [5] and the light shined in the darkness, and the darkness did not understand it. [6] who was sent from God. A man was born, and his name was John [7] He came to bear witness, that he might testify of the light, that all might believe through him.”
3. God solves these three things.
① The problem of darkness
(Genesis 1:3-5, King James Version) 『[3] God said, Let there be light, and there was light, [4] and God saw that the light was good. And he called the darkness Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.”
② The problem of chaos (Let it be - it is so. It looked good)
-Dividing light from darkness (first)
- Divide the water under the firmament and the water above the firmament, the firmament (sky)
- Gather together in one place of the water (sea) under the world, and let the dry land (earth) appear.
(Genesis 1:5) “He called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.”
(Genesis 1:6-8) "[6] God said, "There will be an expanse in the midst of the waters to divide the waters from the waters." [7] And God made the expanse to divide the water under the expanse from the waters above it, and it was so. ] And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.”
(Genesis 1:9-13) 『[9] And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered into one place, and let dry land appear. And it was so. [10] God called dry land Earth, and the gathered waters he called Sea. [11] And God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, and seed-bearing plants, and fruit-bearing plants, each with seed according to its kind." And it was so. And it brought forth a tree bearing fruit, and God saw that it was good [13] And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.”
③ The Void Problem
-Filling the firmament with light (Fill out signs, seasons, dates, and years) Day and night rule - Fourth day
-Sky (birds fly), water (fish) - (fifth day)
-Earth (Creatures according to their kind)
(Genesis 1:14-23) 『[14] And God said, Let there be a light in the expanse of the heavens, to divide the day and the night, and let the light be for signs and seasons, days and years, [15] and let their light be in the firmament of the heavens. [17] And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; And he made the stars, [17] and God made them into the heavens. He placed it in the firmament to give light to the earth, [18] He governed the day and the night, and he separated the light from the darkness, and God saw that it was good [19] And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day. [21] And God created the great fish and every living creature that multiplied and moved in the water after its kind, and every winged bird after its kind, and God saw that it was good. [22] And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters of the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth. [23] And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
(Genesis 1:24-25) 『[24] And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds, cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kinds. (And it was so) [25] God gave the beasts of the earth after their kind. He made all the animals that creep on the earth after their kind according to their kind, and God saw that it was good.”
4. A life that restores the image of God is a life that rules.
(Genesis 1:26-31) “[26] And God said, Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let him have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over the livestock and over all the earth and over all that creeps on the earth. [27] And God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them; [28] and God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it; Have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” [29] And God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth, and every tree bearing fruit with seed, and it shall be your food.” [30] To every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to every thing that creeps on the earth that has life, and every creature that creeps on the earth, I give for food every green grass.” And it was so. [31] And God saw all that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And it came to pass, the sixth day.”
(Rev 5:10, King James Version) “You have made them a kingdom and priests before our God, and they shall reign on the earth.”
(Romans 5:17, NIV) “For if by the one man’s trespass death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the one Jesus Christ.”
(2 Timothy 2:11-12) “[11] Faithful saying, if we died with the Lord, we also live with him; [12] if we endure, we also reign with him; and if we deny the Lord, the Lord will deny us. will be”
If we do not reign in the Lord, sin reigns.
(Romans 6:12-13) “[12] Therefore, do not let sin reign in your mortal body, so that you obey its lusts, [13] and do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but yourselves present yourselves to God as those raised from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.”
(Rev 20:4, King James Version) “And I saw thrones, and those who sat on them were given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and the beast and his image. Those who did not worship him and did not receive his mark on their foreheads or on their hands lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.”
(Rev 20:6, King James Version) “Blessed and holy are those who have part in this first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with Christ for a thousand years.”
(Rev 22:5, King James Version) “Night will be no more, and there is no need for lamps and sunlight, for the Lord God gives them light, and they shall reign forever and ever.”
