Light and Life - Lesson 4
Light and Life
Creation
and The New Birth
At the creation of the world, God moved upon the face of the
deep. The earth had no form or
void. It was desolate. It was dead and in complete darkness. There was
no birds, no flowers, no land to dwell upon, no human life, no life at
all, just darkness upon the face of the deep.
It sounds as though it was just one big ball of water, because God calls
it the deep. Just imagine a place of
complete darkness with no life. Out of silence rings forth a booming voice of
power. "Let there be light!"
Without light nothing can live, nothing can grow. Light is vital for a living world. When God said, "Let there be
light!", there was light. God spoke
and it existed that moment. God, soon
after, separated the waters from the dry land.
All could be seen, for the light shined in the darkness. A desert place without life, only dry
ground. God spoke at once all greenery,
trees and flowering plants spread across the dry land. Making the most beautiful place, a place
never seen by human eyes until the forming of Adam from the dust of the
ground. He awoke to the most striking
view of beauty ever known to the human eye, a fresh new world full of light and
life full of amazing things of all kinds to discover.
Throughout scripture we are given stories and examples of how God deals in the heart of man. The creation of the world is another way to describe the condition of a person's heart towards God without Him. The earth would have never known light had God not said let there be light. The earth would not ever had known life had God not spoke it into existence.
God could of just said, there is no way this earth could
ever be anything special. He could have
said " why bother, this place is
worthless," but he didn't. He
worked countless numbers of miracles upon one dead lifeless form.
God mentions light and life throughout scripture especially in talking about the heart of man. It tells us that Jesus is the light and the life. As light brings life to the earth, Jesus is the light that brings life to the heart. The bible teaches us that without Christ we are dead while we live and we walk in darkness. Our heart is compared to a desert land that has no life and needs salvation. That's why we say people without Christ need saved.
Adam and Eves disobedience, eating of the forbidden fruit , brought
death upon the whole human race. The
biblical account of Adam and Eve is a perfect example why it is important to
obey God. God blesses those that obey Him. We miss out on blessings and instead have to eat
the fruit of our sins, when we disobey Him.
Adam and Eve had to leave the that garden God had made them and would
know a life that included suffering and death.
There are consequences for our rebellion towards God. Their sin didn't just hurt themselves but their
children and all of mankind.
God warned Adam and Eve ahead of time what would happen, but
they chose to believe a lie rather that the Word of God. This happens today by false teachers teaching
false teachings that confuse people into believing a lie, rather than God's
Holy Word. People who do not believe God
and the true teaching of Christ, are in darkness are dead while they live.
The bible tells us that Jesus is the light of the
world. In John Chapter one talks about
Jesus being light. The chapter starts
out in the same words as Genesis 1: 1 " In The Beginning was". John 1:1 speaks about the Light , Jesus that shine
in the hearts of men. God's desire is
that all people come to repentance and faith in what Christ did at the cross. He paid the price for you and me. When we believe and trust Him as our personal
Saviour. Then is when the light of God
arises in our heart and we become alive to God, just as the earth was brought to life at God's
speaking.
Jesus and what He did at Calvary made it possible for people
to be saved from the punishment of hell eternal. Upon belief and the receiving Christ. The blood He shed then becomes a permanent
covering for our sins. God leaves that decision
up to you.
Father God, If there is anyone here today that would like to
know Christ as their Saviour, I pray they will desire to know you and trust you
as their own personal Saviour and friend.
I pray they will understand the teaching of John 1:1. I pray they will come alive to you in the
name of Christ and His precious shed blood.
The Word of God is the power of
God unto Salvation. Believe His Word, He
loves you and wants you to became saved today.
Genesis 1:1 - The creation of the earth
John 1:1
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.
In him was life; and the life was the light of
men.
And the light shineth in darkness; and the
darkness comprehended it not. {comprehended: or, did not admit, or, receive}
There was a man sent from God, whose name was
John.
The same came for a witness, to bear witness of
the Light, that all men through him might believe.
He was not that Light, but was sent to bear
witness of that Light.
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man
that cometh into the world.
He was in the world, and the world was made by
him, and the world knew him not.
He came unto his own, and his own received him
not.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power
to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Lesson 1 - The Missing Piece

God Made
All things He made, He made them from love.
God made the planets, far, far, far away;
But somehow we know, love made them that way.
God made the rivers to flow from the hills;
He made colorful fish, and schools of bluegill.
Goldfish and bass, trout, perch and crappy.
Love's masterpieces in rivers and seas.
God made each plant to bear it's own seed;
Each vegetable, fruit to supply our need.
With love He took thought in how it would taste;
It had to be love, with which we are graced.
When spring brings it's blooming trees of sweetness;
When winter fades and flowers come to greet us.
When birds build nests , we see the tiny birds.
With songs and sounds they speak, but not with words.
Love took the time to give just the right song;
Love placed them within the tree they belong.
Love gave them strong wings, to master in flight;
Each bird formed with care, whether brown or bright.
God made the sun to shine from waters blue;
A rainbow to bless upon a morning new.
The shell to hold upon a child's small ear;
And the smile, that brings our heart some cheer.
It had to be love, that made us a smile;
To think any other would be denial.
Just as He has formed the child anew;
What masterful things God's love has hewn.
To know the child has a tiny heartbeat;
Tiny hands, tiny toes on tiny feet.
That can be seen upon a mothers tum;
While she, with love awaits with whispers hum.
God has made a place of jewels and gold;
Where no one will ever die or grow old.
Love took the time to prepare us a place.
It surely is love, with which we are graced.
Yes God has shown His love, His love so grand;
Through pleasures good, through creations plan.
But greater still the love that paid the price;
When God gave Himself, to be sin's sacrifice.
In love He took our nails, He took our shame:
In love He took our guilt, He took the blame.
What joyful blessings, God's love has given;
God made a way, for us to be forgiven.

John 1:3
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Genesis 22:8
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
