The meaning of Genesis, part one
Wednesday – November 12, 2025
Genesis chapter 1, verse 1 (1:1): 1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.". This to me signifies not only the material creation of the Earth but the creation of existence itself, really everything in this our existence, and while it may be hard for modern man to fathom, possibly even impossible to fathom, this moment in the primordial past, allow me to make it clear that this first providential and holy act is what set every motion of every particle, of every moment into being and you were a part of this, the plan of Jehovah, from the very beginning and your exist because of that love. Indeed, love is what made you and everything else possible. The love the creator, Jehovah, has shown is quite clearly and frankly not of this material world and I cannot express my awe, my awe, in the face of his loveliness—our creator Jehovah. This act, the creation, was inspired by his, Jehovah's, eternal love.
