Lesson Scripture: Genesis 1:1 2,20-25,29-31 Lesson Aims: To accept God's control of everything, to under stand and appreciate the order oT God and to recognize the creation is good. ? Background: The first book of the Bible, Genesis, is ascribed to Moses. It is the book of begin nings. "It not only records the ori gins of heaven and earth, of plant, animal and human life but it also accounts for human institutions and relationships" (Scofield Study Bible). God reveals Himself to a people and thus to the world. The first 11 chapters present the nature of God in creation and His relationship to humanity. Chap ters 12-50 show God in covenant relationship with man. Even though sin disrupted the good creation, God offers a way back to the original state. Genesis then reveals God as a loving provider involved in the creation. For the next 13 weeks, our study will focus on these beginnings. Lesson: Before there was any thing, there was God! Elohim refers to the divine community the Trinity- that creates all things. Events didn't just happen and God intervened; instead He is the Mildred Peppert I Sunday School Lesson '"First Cause." Verses 1-8 show the foundation of all life. There is order to the events unfolding here. Light is separated from darkness and the waters are divided as well. Dry land comes into existence and vegetation is seeded. The sun, moon and stars are then created and each given a function. They set the pattern for the seasons. All of this was done in four days. Then this great and powerful (iod populates the earth with liv ing creatures. Each has a function, and each mates with its own kind. Verses 12, 18. 21 and 25 record God's evaluation of His creation "and it was good." Verse 26 says (iod said, "Let us make man." / Made in the image of God, man is to have dominion over all cre ation. Then God makes the state ments in verses 29-31 directly to man. Everything is provided for humanity and God said, "It is very good." The sixth day is com pleted. Application: God is God all by Himself! Science and research offer some answers, but each comes short. Elohim (Trinity) cre ates all things, not Tiamat, Zeus, none but God Almighty. Have you ever thought about this uni verse and its order? This isn't acci dental. If it had been, where are the accidents now? The creation doesn't collide with each other. There i$ order and balance in the whole of creation. From the smallest detail to the most obvi ous ones, there is order! While it is mystical and awesome, there is no need to fear. We know the Cre ator! While the Y2K issue is a worldly problem, this is nothing for God. Don't fret, over the end; simply remain focused on the Great Provider because we can't stop anything. God has given cre ation His stamp of approval. Even after humanity sinned. God had a plan for redemption. Let us look around at the order and _ beauty of creation. As stewards (v. 26) over it, let's seek the good and be busy about being a catalyst for change where things aren't so good. God blessed us with choice. Let's be positive. God created the universe and placed humanity over it. He has provided for all of our needs. His creation is good, all of it! What could we possibly expect? As Mrs. Elizabeth Young would say of Him, "With His good self." Grantheum Johnson Director and Manager runeril Ilome .
