Genesis 1:1 NLT
A. Can we trust the creation story?
Genesis 1:1 NLT
1. The creation account was written by Moses around 1400 B.C. We accept the absolute authority of the Word of God. The Word of God in its original manuscripts is inerrant and infallible.
Luke 24:27 NLT
2. Moses confirmed the creation account in Exodus.
Exodus 20:11 NLT
3. The Psalmist confirmed the creation account.
Psalms 33:9 NLT
4. Jesus confirmed the significance of the Old Testament; thus, verifying the creation account.
Matthew 5:18-19 NLT
5. John confirmed the creation story and Jesus partnership with God in creation.
John 1:1-3 NLT
6. The writer of Hebrews confirmed Jesus’ role in creation.
Hebrews 1:1-2 NLT
7. The Apostle Paul confirms Jesus’ role in creation with God and His continued role in holding all creation together.
Colossians 1:15-17 NLT
B. The creation gives us a glimpse into the Creator…
Romans 1:20 NLT
1. When we look at the design of our world, we know there must be an intelligent Designer.
2. When we look at creation, we begin to see common similarities indicating there is a common Designer. When we look at the genetic code of DNA, we see a clear picture of a Designer. The ultimate proof of creation is the fact that the universe exists and is governed by the laws of nature.
3. When we look at creation, we see that the biblical account is true in that each reproduced its own kind. Although microevolution may be accounted for in species, the biblical account would discount macroevolution.
Genesis 1:25 NLT
4. Jesus revealed Himself to us confirming these truths!
John 1:1-3 NLT
C. The Trinity was all part of the creation...
1. God the Father is the architect. God created the elements out of nothing.
"...God created..."
2. God the Holy Spirit is the engineer. The breath of God is the Spirit and it gives life to all.
Genesis 1:2 NLT
3. God the Son is the builder. Jesus was active in creation from the beginning.
"...Let there be light...In the beginning was the Word..."
D. God's creation...
1. We were all created by God.
