It All Begins with God
Genesis 1:1
It all begins with God.
Activity is not a fit substitute for spirituality.
The Bible is a book about God revealing Himself to us.
When someone has a problem with their behaviour, the correct response is to take them from the beginning and renew their vision from God.
God is always previous
Before our need is recognized the supply is already provided.
Job 2:3
There is a difference between intelligence and education.
Integrity means he is an honest man, not a manipulator.
Fear of God comes before integrity.
We don’t fear God if we don’t have the right vision of God.
If we don’t fear sin, we don’t have the right vision of God.
Since everything begins with God it affects every area of our life.
It affects our prayer life.
Our Witnessing
Our Preaching.
Our Talking with people
It does not say in the beginning God began, but said God created.
John 1:1-2
The Lord Jesus Christ did not begin in Bethlehem.
Revelation 1:11
Genesis 1:1 is one of the most important verses because it refutes false doctrines
It refutes atheism, because the universe was created by God.
It refutes pantheism (the belief that God is everything and everything is God), for God is transcendent (apart from and independent of the material universe) to that which He created.
It refutes polytheism, for one God created all things.
It refutes materialism, for matter had a beginning.
It refutes dualism, because God was alone when He created.
It refutes humanism, because God, not man, is the ultimate reality.
It refutes evolutionism, because God created all things.
The five categories of science are in Genesis 1:1
Time – “In the beginning”
Force – “God”
Motion – “created”
Space – “heaven”
Matter – “earth”
