2. Have You Become Light In the Gospel of Truth? (Genesis 1:2-3)

1. The Bible Is the Word of Salvation, Not a Book of Science (Genesis 1:1-2)

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” This passage from Genesis 1:1 is the very first verse that we come across when we open the Bible. God said, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.” When it says here, “The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep,” this describes the condition of the hearts of those who are not born again.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/  [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission  [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35  [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]

2. Have You Become Light In the Gospel of Truth? (Genesis 1:2-3)

By creating the universe and all creatures in it, God revealed His great and majestic plan through Jesus Christ. Chapter 1 of the Book of Genesis shows us the majestic plan that God has prepared for mankind. In other words, the creation of the heavens and the earth and of all creatures, the making of mankind in the likeness of the image of God, the fall of mankind deceived by Satan, salvation through Jesus Christ, our becoming God’s children in His providence, and the blessings of the everlasting grace of God—all these things are shown in this first chapter of Genesis.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/  [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission  [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35  [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]

3. From the Power of Darkness into The Kingdom of the Son (Genesis 1:2-5)

If you and I have committed even the smallest of all sins, we must be condemned for this sin and die before God. That is the Law of God. However, to avoid condemning us like this, God sent His only begotten Son Jesus Christ to this earth, and had Him receive baptism from John the Baptist. So, by passing all the sins of mankind onto His Son, and by crucifying Him to the Cross, God had His Son die vicariously for everyone. And God resurrected Him from the dead. All these things were done so that everyone would be saved by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). If this is the case, then the gospel of the water and the Spirit of which our Lord spoke must be true.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/  [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission  [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35  [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]

4. First Day: In the Beginning God Created the Heavens And the Earth (Genesis 1:1-5)

In the Book of Genesis, the purpose for which God created us is explained. When architects design a building or artists draw a painting, they first conceive the work that would be completed in their minds before they actually begin working on their project. Just like this, our God also had our salvation of mankind in His mind even before He created the heavens and the earth, and He made Adam and Eve with this purpose in mind. And God needed to explain to us the domain of Heaven, which is not seen by our eyes in the flesh, by drawing an analogy to the domain of the earth that we can all see and understand.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/  [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission  [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35  [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]

5. The Water above the Firmament and the Water Below the Firmament (Genesis 1:6-8)

On the first day of His creation, God did the work of saving souls. In other words, on the first day God made sinners righteous, and He also clearly separated the righteous from the sinners. And on the second day of the creation of the heavens and the earth, God divided the water above the firmament from the water below it. Put differently, this means that God divided His Word from the words of Satan.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/  [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission  [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35  [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]
