In the beginning GOD created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the SPIRIT of GOD was hovering over the face of the waters. Then GOD said..... Genesis 1:1 thru 3a
GOD's creating everything from nothing begins; first with the heavens and the earth, then light and the division between light and darkness(Day & Night). Then HE divided the firmament from below from the firmament from above(heaven). Then HE gathered the waters together(seas) and created dry land(earth). Then HE created the land coverings such as grasses and trees, herbs and fruit trees. Then HE created the main lights in the sky(Sun and Moon) which would be for signs, seasons, days, years and to give light on the earth. The greater light to rule the day(Sun) and the lesser light to rule the night(Moon) and HE made the stars and placed them all in their place. Then HE created all the sea life, birds of the air and all animal life that were to be fruitful and multiply on the earth according to its kind. Then finally GOD created Adam, from the dust of the ground HE created him and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul. This was all done in 6 literal days and the LORD rested from HIS work on the 7th day.
Psalm 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do HIS commandments. HIS praise endures forever.
Psalm 119:160 YOUR WORD is TRUE from the beginning, And every one of YOUR righteous judgments endures forever.
Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 8:22-23 The LORD possessed me(wisdom)at the beginning of HIS way, Before HIS works of old. I(wisdom)have been established from everlasting, From the beginning, before there was ever an earth.
Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the HOLY ONE is understanding.
Ecclesiastes 3:11-13 HE has made everything beautiful in its time. Also HE has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that GOD does from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor-it is the gift of GOD.
Isaiah 64:1-5 OH, that YOU would rend(tear open) the heavens ! That YOU would come down ! That the mountains might shake at YOUR presence--As fire burns brushwood, as fire causes water to boil--To make YOUR name known to YOUR adversaries, that the nations may tremble at YOUR presence ! When YOU did awesome things for which we did not look, YOU came down, the mountains shook at YOUR presence. For since the beginning of the world, men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any GOD besides YOU. WHO acts for the one who waits for HIM. YOU meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, who remembers YOU in YOUR ways. YOU are indeed angry for we have sinned--In these ways we continue; AND WE NEED TO BE SAVED.
John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the WORD and the WORD was with GOD, and the WORD was GOD. HE was in the beginning with GOD. All things were made through HIM, and without HIM nothing was made that was made.
Ephesians 3:8-9 To me(Paul), who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of CHRIST, and to make all people see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in GOD WHO created all things through JESUS CHRIST.
Colossians 1:15-18 HE is the image of the invisible GOD, the firstborn over all creation. For by HIM all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. ALL things were created by HIM and for HIM. And HE is before all things, and in HIM ALL things consist. And HE is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in ALL things HE may have the preeminence.
Revelation 22:13 " I AM the ALPHA and the OMEGA, the BEGINNING and the END, the FIRST and the LAST."
I have picked out only a small portion of Scriptures that have the word " beginning " somewhere in the verses. GOD HIMSELF has no beginning but HE has made many firsts or beginnings to happen. Time is HIS creation for us. HE is not governed by time but we plan our whole day by time and HE created it for us to use. There is no knowledge that anyone has that did not come from HIM. For HE has all knowledge of all things. We made computers but HE created the knowledge in man to make them. We made cars and trains, but the knowledge of how to make them came from HIM. Nothing that our finite minds can come up with are of our own knowledge, but GOD gives the knowledge to whom HE wills. Just remember that, " In the beginning GOD created "
Let us give our CREATOR and SUSTAINER all the glory, honor and praise for all HIS wonderful and many beginnings. But don't forget this; that as HIS child our ending will be better than our beginning, because we will be with HIM forever and forever.
Now if you are not a Truly Born Again Believer, then you have a beginning but your end will not be the same as a child of GOD. For your new beginning you need to become a Truly Born Again Christian and this is how you go about it:
Romans 3:10 As it is written, " There is none righteous, no not one. Who is good ? No one
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come shore of the glory of GOD. Who has sinned ? Everyone
Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. Where sin came from ? Adam
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of GOD is eternal life through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. What is GOD's price for sin ? Death
Romans 5:8 But GOD commanded HIS love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, CHRIST died for us. What is our way out ? CHRIST's death on the cross paid our sin debt in full.
Romans 10:9-11 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the LORD JESUS, and shalt believe in thine heart that GOD hath raised HIM from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto Salvation. For the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on HIM shall not be ashamed.
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved.
Take GOD at HIS WORD and claim HIS promise for your Salvation, and you too can have a glorious new beginning, in CHRIST JESUS.
Your servant in CHRIST,
Julie
