GENESIS 1: THERE WAS A BEGINNING

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Genesis 1 

a) This is about the beginning of the universe and the state of planet earth before God transformed it.

2. There Was A Beginning

a) The Bible certainly begins at the beginning, but it tells us only one essential thing. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1, John 1:1-5, Colossians 1:13-17, Hebrews 11:3).

b) This gives us no indication as to when “the beginning” was, or what it was like, however it does answer one important question: Is the universe eternal —or did it have a beginning, before which it did not exist? The fact simply stated in the first verse of the Bible is that the universe had a beginning and God brought it into being. Any more than this is for scientists to discover as far as “the beginning” is concerned. 

The End ...
