Title (Ⅲ) The Blessed One (Genesis 1:1~13)
Contents
① In order to receive the blessings that God gives, basically, the code with God must match. ② God's code is well expressed through God's creation process. ③ Let's become a person who fits God's code and receive blessings in the new year.
“First. He is a God-centered person.”
① “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” means that God is the Creator, Owner, Sovereign Ruler, User, Providence, and Judge of all things, and is the central source of all things. ②Therefore, things that are not God-centered, things that are not God-first, things that are not of God, things that are done apart from God, things that are separated from God... are all in vain, dead, broken-rooted trees, loose kites, floating clouds, Bupyeongcho. (Romans 8:5-11) ③ God-centered life is Spirit-centered, Heaven-centered, Eternal-centered, Word-centered, Church-centered, Salvation-centered, Lord's day-centered, Lord's mission-centered, and early morning prayer-centered... ④The saints must live with God as the owner, responsible for, and right to use in my body, my family, and my business. ⑤ It is not about possessing and using God with self-centeredness, but God-centered self-centeredness and need to be used and used by God. ⑥ Because self-centeredness is “evil”, depravity, and sin, He told us to keep the first commandment (Exodus 20:2).
“Second. He is a positive person.”
①“The earth was empty and chaotic, and darkness was over the depths, and the Spirit of God moved over life.” ②He did the work of creation by not looking at very negative realistic objects negatively, but positively. ③ God who gives salvation and blessings is by nature completely positive, but the devil who kills and destroys is inherently negative. ④ All those who were with God, used and received blessings were people of positive faith. ⑤ Joseph (Genesis 45:5), Moses (Exodus 14:10-14), Joshua, Caleb (Numbers 14:9), and Andrew (John 6:8-9) were all positive and people of faith. ⑥ When we have positive thoughts, hearts, eyes, ears, and mouths with faith and deal with people, objects, and objects instead, God is with us and blesses us. ⑦ “I can do all things through him who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13)
"third. He is a creative person.”
① God is the God of creation. Through direct creation, from nothing to being, with indirect creation from being to being, with permissive creation, we are continuing the history of creation through the method of existence and existence. ② Therefore, when believers are creative, constructive, and productive people, they rejoice, share, use, protect, help, and bless those who are destructive. ③"Chaos, emptiness, deep darkness" was used as a material to create a beautiful world. ④ All the realities of chaos, emptiness, darkness, disease, poverty, failure, hardship, tribulation, and persecution that the saints met are the materials given to create a new work of blessing. ⑤ Joseph, Moses, and Daniel... used it as a material for the creation of a new history. ⑥ Therefore, He said, "All things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28).
"fourth. He is a man of chastity.”
① As the earth obeyed the word of God, it made grass, seed-bearing vegetables, and fruit-bearing plants with seeds of each kind. ②What the earth was created by obedience made it to belong to the earth and to become the glory of the earth. (Genesis 1:11~12) ③Christianity is the way of obedience. When he obeyed, the Red Sea parted, the walls of Jericho collapsed, the miracle of five fish, and the history of turning fresh water into wine took place. ④ The word of God's command is accompanied by the blessing of avoiding anger and receiving blessings no matter what word it is. ⑤ Let's receive all the blessings that God has prepared for us through obedience in the new year.
