Today's Insights
2nd. Of May 2023
Genesis 2 • Matthew 1
And the Lord God formed man out of dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul.
One breathe of God gives life. I see God recreating man, me, out of one of the most "less" things. Really God's ways are mysterious and no just that but our God can recreate even the smallest kind of things, the smallest kind of persons into something or someone great.
>> God placed man in the midst of all that he had created and watch his exercise dominion. Adam named all the animals God created, even woman. We are formed by the creator to be dominators and sin is the one who continually seizes that dominion from us. Sin is slavery. The consequences and the slavery of sin is completely outside of what is the will of God for us from the beginning.
>>God created marriage even from the beginning. I hated to hear it, even as a child, I had ruled out marriage from my head. But since it's God's standard and yes it wasn't until I read this part of my bible that I actually understand that God created marriage. And those that abide in him must walk the way He walks (1 John 2:6)
>> Man an wife were naked and NOT ASHAMED. They were perfectly okay with the way they were made, less concerned whether it needed polishing or covering or what is not. We should accept the image of God in which we were made. Our natural is the "GOD-Self". They're nothing to be ashamed of in God's perfection, cause we are made in his image.
Matthew 1
>>The first few verses speaks how God fulfilled His promises to Abraham and David. It showed us today that Chriat originated from the ancestry of David and Abraham.
>> Jesus was born in purity from the onset, He was made pure. Conceived by a virgin who got married and wasn't touched by her husband until his birth. I wonder why the bible recorded that but I know it significant. Hm... How Divinely Pure
>> Christ's purpose on earth is to SAVE US FROM OUR SINS! Meaning SIN was a bad place. Sin is a bad place. If it wasn't then Jesus wouldn't have had to come the way He did or at all. He wouldn't have died. Sin is a bad place.
>> And Christ name "Emmanuel" says a lot to me. God with us? The same God who have come to die? It mean He is the comforter, who He promised us. The spirit of God is God himself. God the father, the son, the Holy Spirit is one God, one same God. So Christ didn't just come and die to save us but stayed so we can continually be saved.
Quite a lot to learn from just two passages of the Bible. The word of God is FULL. Did you join us today? What did you learn? Have you studied yours? Should I remind you? Please do study!
I really do not wish to tell this announcement but there wouldn't e evening recaps due to some issue. God willing, we meet tomorrow again 5am is the time. If you miss the live study please, using the guide you can study personally and try to answer the question beneath each day.
