God Is – Genesis 1:1

Text: Genesis 1:1

Introduction

GOD IS OUR CREATOR.

He made the world (kosmos) in an orderly arrangement which includes the moons, planets, stars, earth, and mankind (Genesis 1:1).

Body

GOD IS OMNIPOTENT

• The term omnipotent describes God as being ALL POWERFUL.  God created the heaven and earth (Genesis 1:1).

• It was through God’s power that the Red Sea was divided and the Israelites walked on dry ground into the midst of the sea, and the Egyptians also followed on dry ground in the midst of the sea, but by God’s power the walls of water came down and drown all the Egyptians (Exodus 14:15-31).  By God’s power, Jesus was resurrected from the grave (Acts 3:14-15).

GOD IS OMNISCIENT

• The term omniscient denotes God as having infinite awareness, understanding, and insight.  In other words, God is ALL KNOWING.  This is a characteristic that men and women do not posses.  And since God knows everything, and we are limited in our knowledge, we should humble ourselves before Him (Hebrews 4:13).  God knows when Jesus is going to come back again.  We do not know when Jesus is going to return – (Matthew 24:36).

GOD IS OMNIPRESENT

• The term omnipresent is the fact of God being present in all places at all times.  In Psalm 139:7-8, David affirms God is everywhere. In Proverbs 15:3, the Bible teaches us the eyes of the Lord are in every place.

GOD IS LOVE

• The message of the Bible is the love that God has for us so that we can be reconciled back to Him through the perfect sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ (1 John 4:9-10).

Conclusion

• God is our shelter or protection, when the storm’s of life arises.  God is our source of strength in time of trouble (Psalm 46:1).   God is the giver of eternal life through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ (John 14:6).

• According to Isaiah 12:2, God is our salvation.  Therefore, you and I should be encouraged to Trust the LORD JEHOVAH.  Let us also call to remembrance; our God is a consuming fire according to (Hebrews 12:29).

• This is why we all need to respond to the loving call of God.  Now is the acceptable time.  Why not come to Him tonight as we stand and sing?
