God the creator

Genesis 1

Genesis 1

1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

Genesis 1

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

What are some of the implications of God as creator?

Superiority and power

of God

Isaiah 40:28

28  Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.

Isaiah 55:8-9

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,�neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Colossians 1

17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

Acts 17

24 “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything.

Acts 17

Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.

​

James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights

Acts 17

26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.

Acts 17

God did this so

that they would seek him and

perhaps reach out for him and

find him,

though he is not far from any one of us. (Vs 27)

Acts 17

28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’

Acts 17

As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’

29 “Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill. 30 In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. 31 For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”

A creator is one who makes something new.

He had an idea, formulated a plan and a design for what he wished to create.

He created with His words, His hands, with His Love.

He had no raw material to work with, he had to create that as well.

Being “creative” is just emulating our father by using things he already created to make something for our use seor enjoyment.

God is powerful, He is far greater than our understanding.

​

God has a design and a plan, one that nothing or no-one can stop.

If you are foolish enough to go against his plan and design…… It won’t go well for you.

Then there is Jesus, proof that in spite of all His power and truth. God is immeasurably loving and patient with us and the planned process.

Creation =>

Corruption =>

Destruction/Death =>

and Rebirth/Renewal

We are created “in the image of God” with his very breath breathed into our lungs.

God has a special love for mankind because we exist in His image.

Because He designed and created me……..

God my Father.
