Ge.1:20-23 "Life Abundant"



"And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven."

Referring the earth from the Psalm quote, "The fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein" belongs to God. He established it upon the floods which highlights the divine Will, "Let the waters bring forth abundantly.'The key word is life. Jesus coming to the word revealed the will of his Father, " I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."( John 10:10-KJ21; Ps.24:1-2) God by dividing light from darkness is leading us to the quality of His name. He called the dry land, earth "and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas." Separation of light and darkness is in His will serves a purpose; by the same purpose what shall we make of his command, 'Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life' ? It is held together in his Son. "And by him all things consist." (Col.1:17) "The 'moving creature' as species shall move from the land to become marine creatures vice versa. These dynamics owe to the quality life which is an expression of divine holiness. In naming the earth separation of light from darkness such migrations did not injure the quality of life. In the pitch darkness of the depth marine creature live as freely as land animal spread out in the dark foraging for food. It also throws up a great scriptural truth. "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich."(2 Co.8:9) Joseph was deprived of his parental home and in becoming the savior of his name the Spirit instructs us in terms of life the lame shall take the prey.' God made his Son an example.
