Gospel Moments (2): Creator God (Part Two)

CREATOR GOD

Genesis 1:1 ESV

In the beginning,

God created the heavens

and the earth.

God is God.

The fact that He is the God

of creation means that

He is Lord of all.

Understanding and

believing God as creator

offers great hope in

an uncertain world.

These days we can

awake to this life that we have

been given and can feel very

overwhelmed by it.

It may look as though

everything is out of control . . .

It may even appear as

though evil reigns

and darkness is overcoming

the light . . .

You may be asking yourself

like the people in the days of

the Old Testament,

“Where is any good?”

Psalm 4:6

There are many who say,

“Who will show us some good?

Lift up the light of your

face upon us, O LORD!”

God is God

and He is good.

He is in control

and worthy of ALL of our

worship and ALL of our praise.

Remember these things.

Cherish these truths in your heart.

Stand upon this rock:

He is God and

you are not

and neither is anyone

or anything else besides Him.

The world rests upon His

shoulders,

He holds the universe in

the palm of His hand.

Affirm the first few stanzas

of the Apostles’ Creed

in your heart and mind:

I believe in God, the Father almighty,

creator of heaven and earth.

Taking the Gospel to Heart

and Bringing It to Life

During this time of year

when we have more to do

than usual,

when our expectations and

emotions are heightened,

and when our focus can

be easily lost,

we want to remember that

we have been saved for

a very specific and special

purpose.

We have been set apart,

we have been sanctified

to glorify God and enjoy

Him forever no matter

what is happening in

the world around us.

The darkness can not

overcome the light.

Shine the light of this truth

in your heart, in your mind,

and in your life.

God who created us has also given us

the light of redemption in

Jesus Christ.
