God of the Scriptures

Do you know God? How do you know that it's really God, and not the ruler of this world, or the god of your self? God has clearly communicated through His Word and through the history of His people, Israel. Get to know God by reading His autobiography.

I. God Made Man in His Image

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion (rule) 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 creeps upon the earth. 28 And God blessed them, and God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion (rule) over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.

Implications of God being the Creator:

  1. He owns it all
  2. He can do with it whatever He wishes
  3. He sustains it
  4. He rules over it (any exercise of dominion within the creation must come at His permission)
  5. He can destroy or re-create His creation at will.
