God’s purpose is accomplished by life, and in Genesis 1 we see in type the experience of Christ as life and the growth in life for the fulfillment of God’s purpose. God as the Spirit came to brood upon our dead situation, and He spoke something to us, bringing light in our inner being, and […]

September 13, 2013 by 1 Comment
The record in the first chapter in Genesis is not merely to inform us of how God created the earth and all things in it, neither is it merely to show us the order in which God created everything. If we have the glasses of God’s economy on, we will clearly see that in Genesis 1 we […]
