IT WAS GOOD / GENESIS 1:10

START YOU DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 1:10

And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

IT WAS GOOD / GENESIS 1:10

Seven times God states that what He created was “good” (Genesis 1:4,10,12, 18, 21, 25, 31). Each part of God’s creation was exactly as He intended. God created the world to reflect His glory (beauty, splendor, wonder) and greatness. It was also His plan for the world to be a place where humankind could experience life and joy. Notice how God created according to a specific plan and order:

Day 1 – Light – Bringing order to creation

Day 2 – Expanse

Day 3- Dry Ground

Day 4 – Light bearers

Day 5- Fish and birds – Bringing life to creation

Day 6 – Animals and humans

Day 7 – Rest – Creation is complete and good

HEART IS EVIL FROM CHILDHOOD / GENESIS 8:21

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 8:21

And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

HEART IS EVIL FROM CHILDHOOD / GENESIS 8:21

The Lord is simply stating a fact about the corruption and depravity (extreme moral loss) of human nature. Human beings are born with an inward pull toward evil. The pull of this sinful nature is evident from early childhood (Romans 3:10-18).

THE SONS OF GOD / GENESIS 6:1-2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 6:1-2

And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

2That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

THE SONS OF GOD / GENESIS 6:1-2

The phrase, “sons of God,” most likely refers to men who were descendants of the godly family line of Seth (Deuteronomy 14:1; 32:5; Psalms 73:15; Hosea 1:10). But they began to intermarry (from marriages between two groups) with the “daughters of men,” who likely were women from Cin’s ungodly family (Genesis 4:16). The theory that the “sons of God” were angels is unlikely because Jesus said that angels do not marry (Matthew 22:30; Mark 12:25). This union of the godly with the ungodly led to “wickedness” (Genesis 6:5). The godly became so preoccupied with evil that all the world became corrupt and filled with violence (Genesis 6:11-13).

HOW GREAT MAN’S WICKEDNESS / GENESIS 6:5

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 6:5

And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

HOW GREAT MAN’S WICKEDNESS / GENESIS 6:5

In Noah’s day, sin was extremely evident in two ways: sexual lust (Genesis 6:2) and violence (Genesis 6:11). Human wickedness and corruption have not changed. Evil that we once could not have imagined, including sexual sins of all kinds as well as violence, is evident throughout the world (Matthew 24:37-39; Romans 1:32).

ADAM LIVED 930 YEARS / GENESIS 5:5

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 5:5
And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

ADAM LIVED 930 YEARS / GENESIS 5:5

The reason that people lived so long during Adam’s time may have been because sin’s corrupting influence had just started to affect the health of the earth (the environment) and the physical bodies of all human beings. By Abraham’s time, it was normal to live only about two hundred years.

WRITTEN ACCOUNT OF ADAM’S LINE / GENESIS 5:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 5:1
This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;

WRITTEN ACCOUNT OF ADAM’S LINE / GENESIS 5:1

This chapter gives a list of Adam’s descendants up to the time of the flood (which destroyed the earth during Noah’s time). These names reflect those who stood for God in increasingly corrupt times (Genesis 6).

  1. Hebrews 11 mentions two of these individuals (Abel and Enoch) who pleased God by their faith (Hebrews 11:4-7). Each one refused to go his own way and defy God like Cain did. By the time of the flood, nearly everyone on earth was wicked. Only eight individuals were saved from this overwhelming disaster (Genesis 6:5, 11, 18; 7:1, 7; 1 Peter 3:20).
  2. There will always be some, at times only a few, who will worship God, remain faithful to Him, obey His Word and patiently trust His promises. They will be a minority (Matthew 7:13-14). Yet God recognizes their names as He did the people in this chapter. Today, if we feel we are standing alone in our faith and obedience to God, we must remember that we are never truly alone. There are still thousands throughout the earth who remain faithful to God and His cause (1 Kings 19:18).

KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL / GENESIS 3:22

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 3:22
And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL / GENESIS 3:22

Adam and Eve had attempted to act and think on an equal with God. They tried to set their own standards for life (Genesis 3:5). To some extent, they did become independent of God and were able to decide what was good or evil.

  1. Among humanity that does not know and trust in God, human judgment that is farm from what God intended often decides what is good or evil. This was never God’s will because He intended for us to know only good as we depended on Him and His Word.

All who accept Christ’s forgiveness and confess Him as Lord, the loving Leader and authority of their lives, return to God’s original purpose for their lives. They rely on God’s Word to determine what is good, right and true. A moral compass is restored.

GOD SAID LET US – LET US MAKE MAN / GENESIS 1:26

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 1:26

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

GOD SAID LET US – LET US MAKE MAN / GENESIS 1:26

The use of the word “us” (plural) suggests that God has a certain plurality, or multi-faceted nature (Psalms 2:7; Isaiah 48:16). This seems to be an early reference to the trinity, or the existence of God in three distinct but interrelated and unified Persons. The tri-unity (“three-in-One” nature) of God does not become clear, however, until the New Testament (Matthew 3:17; Mark 1:11).

LET US MAKE MAN

In Genesis 1:26-28 we read about the creation of human beings. More specific details about their creation and environment are found in Genesis 2:4-25. These two accounts work together to teach several things:

  1. Both man and woman are God’s special creation, not products of evolution (Genesis 1:27; Matthew 19:4; Mark 10:6).
  2. Man and woman were both created in God’s “image” and “likeness,” which means they could respond to a unique personal relationship with God that reflected His love and character. Each person was created to know and obey God willingly (Genesis 2:15-17). (a) They possessed a moral likeness to God as sinless and holy creations, with wise minds, loving hearts and the desire to do right (Ephesians 4:24). Their personal relationship with God involved moral obedience (Genesis 2:16-17) and intimate spiritual union. When Adam and Eve sinned, that moral likeness to God was corrupted, or made impure (Genesis 6:5). God renews that original moral likeness in those who turn from their own sinful ways and trust Him to lead their lives (Ephesians 4:22-24; Colossians 3:10). God provided this opportunity through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus willingly gave His perfect life through death to pay the penalty for our rebellion against God (1 Peter 3:18). (b) Adam and Eve possessed a natural likeness to God. They were created as personal beings with spirit, mind, emotions, self-awareness and power of choice (Genesis 2:19-20; 3:6-7; 9:6). (c) Man, and woman’s physical characteristics also reflect God’s image in a way that is not true of animals. God gave humans the same form in which He would visibly appear to them (Genesis 18:1-2). This is the form in which His Son, Jesus, came to earth (Luke 1:35; Philippians 2:7; Hebrews 10:5).
  3. Being made in God’s image does not mean that humans are divine beings (like “gods”). They have been created on a lower level than God and are dependent on Him (Psalms 8:5).
  4. All human life has continued through God’s first created man (Adam) and woman (Eve) (Genesis 3:20; Romans 5:12)

I WILL GREATLY INCREASE YOUR PAINS / GENESIS 3:16-19

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 3:16-19
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

I WILL GREATLY INCREASE YOUR PAINS / GENESIS 3:16-19

The punishment placed on man and woman as well as sin’s effect on nature, were meant to remind people of the terrible costs resulting from sin and cause them to trust, obey and rely on God. The consequences God declared on humans were meant to lead them back to dependence on God.

  1. Eve’s attempt to be independent from God and her husband would be turned in the opposite direction in an even stronger desire to please her husband. This desire and dependence would bring a mix of suffering and joy, trouble and blessing (Genesis 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 11:7-9; Ephesians 5:22-25; 1 Timothy 2:11-14).

Because of God’s curse on nature, Adam and Eve would experience physical hardships and struggles. Eventually, physical death would come to them and all their offspring.

SERVE AS SIGNS / GENESIS 1:14-15

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 1:14-15
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

SERVE AS SIGNS / GENESIS 1:14-15

God intended for the sun, moon, and stars to serve as signs drawing humankind’s attention to Him. They also marked days, seasons, and years. Astrology, the study of stars and things in heaven and their influence of human activity, has twisted these intended purposes with the false theory that the stars and planets guide individuals’ lives.
