POINTS:

  • God is transcendent. He exists apart from creation and is not subject to the limitations of the material universe.

  • God is omnipresent, everywhere all at once. He fills the earth.

  • God is personal. He talks, creates, and has feelings.

  • God is one in essence and yet distinct in the persons of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Trinity)

  • God creates with His word.

  • God can create something out of nothing.

  • God can create a cosmos from chaos.

  • God brings what is disordered into order.

  • To receive His order in our lives, we must come under the authority of the word of God.

  • All human beings are made in the image of God.

  • When God created He built in His creation the self-perpetuating power to procreate.

  • The seed built into creation was corrupted by sin.

  • Jesus comes as the uncorrupted seed, and His death produces many new uncorrupted seeds.

  • Christians are the new uncorrupted seed and we are meant to reproduce more Christians.

  • To know God as Creator means we can’t settle for shallow Christianity.
