This is the first of our lessons from a bible study written by Bill Perry called “Storyteller’s Bible Study.” This study focuses on 12 major stories from the bible that tell the story from creation to Christ. We will see that God continuously points to himself and what he will do for us in Christ.
This week’s study covers creation (Genesis 1-2). By looking at this story in a new way, we were able to learn things about God and understand His character more thoroughly.
Through this study, we learned that God is:
- Eternal and supreme
- Perfectly powerful, perfectly intelligent, and present everywhere
- A personal Creator and Communicator
- Completely independent of His creation
- Loving, caring, and good
We learned that the world:
- Has order, design, and purpose because God created it that way
- Was originally made “very good”
We learned that Man was:
- Made in God’s image (likeness), that means he has personality which includes mind emotions and will
- Made male and female
- Made to live in harmony within marriage
- Given perfect freedom with only one prohibition – not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil
- Subject to death if they disobeyed God’s command
