Unit 1 Session 1

IN THE BEGINNING

Genesis 1:1 - 2:3 ; Hebrews 11

God created everything out of nothing, and all of creation

reveals Him.

Before "In the beginning", there was God. Before time and space was, there was the timeless, boundless, infinite Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The triune God - one God in three Persons, perfect in love, unity, and holiness - creates. All that we see, all the science we study, all the history we know and experience - everything owes its existence to the One Who created everything out of nothing, and everything serves the purpose of bringing Him glory. 

Points to consider:

✞   God created everything good.
     * How should we read the Bible knowing that God
     is its main character?
     * What are some ways you have seen the goodness
     of God's creation?

✞   God created everything by design.
     * What are some ways human beings have twisted
     God's good design in creation?

✞   God created everything for a purpose.
     * How should belief in the biblical account of
     creation affect the life of a Christian?
