 2 Great Themes from Genesis 1 and Throughout GOD’s Word

1. GOD’s Action - First there is GOD, then HIS Creation activity, and work reveal His Will ....

– Determined Results-making things whole - Holiness, Righteousness, Justice, Judgment, Reward

           Predestined Changes set the Plan of GOD into motion as the 7 days are fulfilled. GOD is eternal and in Total Charge - Creation Responds Accordingly through time.

2. GOD’s Timing - The Sequential Process reveals the Plan of GOD within His Will....

–  The Process - Days, Seasons, Cycles – Opportunity, Choice, Results, Judgment, Reward.

 Effort brings a resultant harvest- based on GOD’s Design and the Actions of the creature

     Creation is allowed certain latitude to deviate. But GOD intervenes from time to time....   There is a choice allowed, but the results are based upon The Will and Plan of GOD.

     Planting in season yields blessings and obedience brings rain and harvest.

The Bible Outlines GOD’s Will and Plan - The Good, Acceptable and Perfect Will of GOD....

 Good - The Creation is good and very good when GOD is in the center

 Acceptable - JESUS came to provide an acceptable sacrifice and offers New Life

 Perfect - Spirit Filled Life leads to obedience and maturity in Christ Jesus. Rom 12:1-2

 —  This verse has both the will and the plan of GOD.

Eph 1:11  In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will.

(When The Plan (council) and Will of GOD are both operating the result is predestined....)

The 2 Commandments are The 2 Great Principles which apply to The 2 Great Themes:

   1. GOD is GOD - Love HIM Totally

   2. Love Your Neighbor as You Love GOD and as you Love Yourself

 If we learn to apply these two, the Will and Plan of GOD will be implemented in us.  GOD is eternal and His Will is perfect. Man is temporal, he might resist GOD’s Will, but The Plan will eventually consume all opposition against GOD’s Will....

The 10 Commandments Reflect GOD’s Proposed Marriage to Israel as His People:

 Within that Will is The 7 Day Commandment which begins to reveal The Plan of GOD

  There is a Time Cycle and a Change comes from time to time:

   7th Day is different. And each day is somewhat different....
