    Study of Genesis (1 of 3)

    "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." (He.11:3)

    There are only two worlds, which have a bearing on the creation account in this passage "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters./ And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."Ge.1:2-3

    Jesus Christ as the visible image of God, a Spirit has a body. The Spirit establishes it as the body because of which it abides forever.(Ec.1:4)

    The earth was without form refers to the advent of the Son. In the fullness of time God sent His only begotten Son.

    "And void" refers to the church, as the body of Christ, the fullness of which refers to the mind of God. "For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell." So creating of a body of evidence is a matter of faith. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."(He.11:1). God commanded Moses to build the tabernacle in the wilderness according to the pattern he had in mind. " And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them./According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it."(Ex.25:7-8)

    "I and My Father are one." Let us consider the speaker. Jesus Christ was the image of the invisible God. When he came to the earth his human likeness spelled out what a believer is expected to show in order to be admitted into the fellowship of God and Man. Faith is what he looked for which Jesus showed it as doable. He obeyed his Father setting us an example.
