The Everlasting Relationship 2:
The Creator and the Created
(Ge1:1, 26-28; Ps100:1-5)
God is the Creator.
By His will He created all things (Rev4:11) and
For Himself He created all things (Pr16:4).
He created all things visible and invisible, and He is their Owner.
Faith is knowing that I was created, that I am His, and kneeling before Him (Ps95:6) and
Faith life is living according to the will of Him who made me, knowing my true self, that is,
I am a soul and I have flesh (Ps95:6; Is45:7).
The Bible records that according to God’s purpose and design, that
He made all things according to what is written in the Bible:
God spoke His word and all things came to be accordingly (Ge1:5, 7, 9, 12; Rm1:19-20).
The purpose of God’s creation of both the visible and the invisible worlds was
To make His Son the Heir of all things (He1:2; Col1:16).
To that end, God made all things to use them according to His will for they are His —
The spiritual heaven, the throne, the name, the glory, the angels etc.
When the archangel wanted to be like the Creator in the spiritual heaven (Is14:12-15; Eze28:12-17),
God contained him until the great day of judgement in Hades (2Pe2:4; Jude1:6), also called
“The first heaven and earth,” that is, the universe (Ge1:1; Rev21:1).
This was for the Creator to use the wicked on the day of disaster accordingly (Pr16:4; Is45:7).
Although Adam, a living being (Ge2:7), was limited to what he could take in the Garden of Eden,
He was deceived by Satan, the devil and disobeyed the commandment of God
Regarding the fruit of the knowledge of the tree of good and evil (Ge2:17), and
Ate the forbidden fruit, wanting to be like the Creator (Ge3:4).
As a result, all men became slaves of the devil, bound to follow him to hell (Mt25:41; 2Pe2:19).
After the exodus, God led the Israelites, His holy people, through the wilderness
To test them and show that they cannot live on their own (Dt8:15-16).
The commandment they received regarding the Sabbath was for them
To remember that God is the Creator (Ex20:8-11).
While the sanctuary where the name of Jehovah and the stone tablets were (1Ki8:9, 16)
Reminded them that they were created,
For they were foolish and unwise, they often forgot and were thus cursed (Dt32:6; Ps28:5).
According to the prophecy that God would create new heavens and a new earth (Is65:17-18),
Create a new thing on earth (Jer31:22) and
That people will look to their Maker (Is17:7),
The Word who was with God, who did the work of creation (Jn1:1-3)
Came as man, the one and only Son, Yeshua (Jn1:14).
He said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days” (Jn2:19-20), because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body,
He would raise a new temple that is not made with hands (Mk14:58),
That is not part of this creation (He9:11).
In the hands of the Jews who were steeped in creationism, Yeshua was put to death but as He died, He said, “It is finished” (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1) By dying according to the Father’s command, fulfilled the principle of creation coming to the created world like a creature (Jn10:18; Php2:6-8);
2) By His death judged the origin of sin, the devil, who forgot that his true place, that he was created (Ge3:4-6; Pr16:4; Eze28:12-17; 1Jn3:8; Jude1:6); and
3) With His redeeming blood that is not part of this creation made souls a new creation (Is65:1-18; 2Co5:17).
He resurrected and sat on the heavenly throne as the Lamb, and
The Holy Spirit whom He sent
Lets the souls born again in the blood of Yeshua live as new creation (2Co5:17),
Looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth (Rev21:1).
The Christian knows that his true self is soul and that he has a body, and that
Souls are with whom God wants to have an everlasting relationship.
Therefore, he surrenders to live on his own and
Willingly chooses to live according to the Word of Yeshua, the Creator.
He lives attached to the church, the body whose head is the name Yeshua,
Gathering on the Lord’s Day to worship Him, never to leave it on his own (Jn15:5; Jude1:6).
Furthermore, he daily kneels before the name Yeshua and prays (Ps95:6; Jn14:13)v
As to not commit the satanic sin.
When the earthly tent is destroyed
He longs to be clothed with his heavenly dwelling, not built with human hands (2Co5:1-9).
When the Son of Man appears again in the created world,
He longs to be taken up to the new heaven and the new earth.
O Lord,
Still rooted in us is the satanic nature of
Wanting to live on our own, doing whatever we want…
Let us never forget even for a day…
I was created! I exist for my Creator! I cannot deny His command! Amen.
