GENESIS MESSAGE 4 – The Account of the Creation of the Heavens and the Earth

———————————

GENESIS MESSAGE 5 – The Serpent Deceives the Woman

We could almost say that the Man (Adam) and the Woman (Eve) had no chance against their adversary. 

Almost … But they did have very clear instruction from God himself.

Yes, they were overmatched as the devil used the crafty serpent to spark their rebellion against God. And they made the same mistake we sometimes make. They took their eyes of the very clear line of obedience that God had given them.

“Don’t eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.” 

Clear and plain.

• Kenneth Mathews makes this comment: “… the participant structure of Genesis 2–3 shows implicitly the hierarchy of creation: God, the man, woman, and animal (serpent). But this was reversed in the fall: the woman listens to the serpent, the man listens to the woman, and no one listens to God. [Mathews, K. A. (1996). Genesis 1-11:26 (Vol. 1A, p. 220). Nashville: Broadman & Holman Publishers.]

And think about this. The Woman was deceived. Her husband was not deceived.

• (2 Corinthians 11:3 ESV) But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
• (Genesis 3:13 ESV) Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
• (1 Timothy 2:11–14 ESV) Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.

So why did the husband eat the fruit?

I guess you will have to listen to the message. Audio will be posted shortly.

“Shout with joy to the LORD, all the earth! Worship the LORD with gladness. Come before him, singing with joy. Acknowledge that the LORD is God! He made us, and we are his. We are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭100:1-5‬ ‭NLT‬‬

• (Genesis 2:4 NASB95) This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made earth and heaven.

God gives his account of creation. The Creator reveals the events of the origins of our universe. God tells how he did it and pronounces it very good.

And, yet, billions reject his account for the account of a human or humans who travel the planet an average of seventy years.

Well, that makes sense.

Two things that we should be aware of as we make decisions that will impact our lives forever.

1. God has given his account of life and truth and forever.
2. We will one day be called to give an account for our lives before the God who has given us his account.

______________________

• (Romans 14:11–12 ESV)¹¹ For it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” ¹² So then each of us will give an account of himself to God.
• (Matthew 12:36 NASB95)³⁶ “But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment.
• (Revelation 20:11–15 ESV)¹¹ Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. ¹⁴ Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. ¹⁵ And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

Personally, I’m going with God’s account.

• (1 Timothy 1:17 ESV) To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
• (Titus 1:2 ESV) In hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began.

• We need to understand how “very good” God’s creation was on Day Six.

• We need to understand that God decided to create humans in his image and after his likeness.

• We need to understand what an exalted position God gave his human creation in doing this.

• We need to understand the context this provides for our salvation.

Paradise. Then Paradise Lost.

Sin does not come onto the scene in Genesis until chapter three, but we have much to learn in the two earlier chapters about our desperate predicament as humans occupying the planet and the depths of our sin.

As in … Paradise and Paradise Lost.

As we see what we have lost. As we understand better God’s original gift to humans in creation. Now we may realize that we really do need to let God instruct us from his word as to our need for a Savior (and for everything else in life).

For those who are lost and need to be found, Genesis is absolutely foundational to understanding God, ourselves and the world in which we live. Undermine Genesis as the exact account that God chose to give us, and you have undermined your ability to believe in God as he defines and describes himself.

You choose. You lose. Pick apart his message and miss his message and miss the abundance of life that God offers through Jesus Christ.

Message Title: The First Five Days of Creation!

Message Text: Genesis 1:1-23 & Selected

Created in the image of God.

• What does it matter? Well, it seems to matters a lot.
• Experience Day One of creation as you look up at the night sky and see the glory of God. You get a glimpse of Day Two as you stand on the shore of the ocean and hear the roaring and crashing of the waves. Day Three brings grass, flowers, trees, all plant life. Take it all in now as you smell freshly cut grass, spring flowers and corn growing. Observe the stars scattered over the heavens and declare his praise. Go for a walk under a beautiful moon or drink in the beauty of his blue sky and feel the warmth and life of his great light which he brought about on Day Four. Listen to the music of Day Five as birds tweet, coo, shriek and caw. Or be captured by the performance of an eagle in the sky or a great whale on the open sea. Day Six introduces lions roaring and elephants trumpeting. All the land creatures. Foxes showing off their speed and oxen their strength.
• Travel this earth and see the the uncharted territories brought about by the word of God, the wonders of unpolluted oceans, and green, vibrant forests alive with beasts of every variety. Explore the universe in all of it’s stunning immensity and variety of color and shape and form. And marvel at the greatness of our God.
• But if you want to experience the peak, the pinnacle, the summit, the top, the zenith, the apogee, the apex, the height, the crown, the climax …
• If you want to travel to the summit and the spire of God’s creation to catch a glimpse of God’s greatest work, then I invite you to the afternoon of Day Six, where God took council with himself and decided to make humans in his image, and after his likeness.

Read the following by Kent Hughes and be amazed at the power and wisdom of God!

• God had formed the world in three days, and now in three parallel days he had wonderfully filled it with the light of the sun and moon and stars and trees and plants and creatures of the deep and the winged creatures of the sky and a zoo of wondrous earth-treading beasts.

  The seas literally swarmed with living things—the monsters of the deep. There were whales, sharks, leviathan (crocodiles); swordfish reigned amidst schools of tuna and dolphin and thousands of lesser colorful finned creatures—many unknown until the twentieth century. And above, an ornithologist’s delight filled the skies—eagles, cormorants, ravens, gulls, geese, ducks, woodpeckers, finches, cardinals, indigo buntings. The skies and seas teemed with astonishing variety, all from the mind of God. The waving, undulating beauties seen first by the sea diver and the gliding, iridescent arrays of the heavens exist because of God’s thought and at his pleasure—“And God saw that it was good.”
