And Why You Are Special
In the Holy Spirit, let’s read aloud from God’s written word in Genesis 1:24-31 and 2:7 KJV;
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
and…
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
What is Truth?
Eternal truth is The Living Word of Almighty God.
Anything, or anyone, who contradicts Him, is not of God: And Wrong.
To know God, you must know The LORD Jesus Christ: Who is God’s Word made Flesh, sacrificed for the sins of the world, and raised for your justification. Trust in Him, Psalms 2:11-12 KJV;
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
Trust in The LORD Jesus Christ
Not in yourself, not in religion, not in your faith, not in your; denomination, church, pastor, beliefs, or doctrine: Trust in Him: The Reigning LORD Jesus Christ!
It is so important, and oh what a wonderful difference when you repent from religion, and believe on Christ alone: Do it now.
All things were made by him
The Living Word declares that Our Creator made all things by His Word: He spoke everything into being. John 1:1-3 KJV;
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
That is how God created living creatures;
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
That is the power of the spoken word of God, creating and holding all things together. (See The God Particle for more)
Now notice this; God formed all living creatures by commanding they be brought forth of the Earth.
You’ll see later why that is relevant.
Let Us Make
Mankind is the pinnacle of God’s Creation: Everyone subconsciously knows this fact instinctively from birth.
God formed the first man from the dust of the Earth, but notice, instead of simply commanding, The Godhead did this personally…
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Let us make… Do you see the difference from how He made; flowers, oak trees, penguins, ants, jelly-fish and whales?
He simply spoke them into being, whereas mankind was made by all three persons of the Godhead in collaboration; Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Keep that in mind as you read the next page: In His Image
