In the Rule of God

Genesis 1:3-13
June 24th 2018, 4th Holy Day of the month
Rev. Tadashi Nagae, pastor

Today we will learn from the passage on the creation from the day one through the day three.

Firstly, time began in the rule of God. Time was marked as the first day and the second day. It can be said that time is also created by God. It is not a matter of course that time is given to us.

Secondly, the expanse (sky) was made in the rule of God. The sky is not just a space with nothing in it. It is the space which was created by God in order that humans and living creatures can exist in it.

Thirdly, the water was gathered and the land was made in the rule of God. Water is necessary for us to live, but we are too powerless before floodwaters. However, God gathered the water. With His power, He even rules and changes the situation where we are in.

We are under the absolute rule of God. He is always walking with us. Therefore, we don't have to be afraid!

<The Verse of the Bible>
And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so.
Genesis 1:9 (NIV)
