Sermons on Genesis (I) - The WILL of The HOLY TRINITY for HUMAN BEINGS

God created the stars and placed them in the heavens to give light to this earth. Today, I would like to speak to you about the role of the God-made stars. That God made the stars means that God made His workers on this earth.
In the Old Testament, the people of Israel brought gold and offered it to God to build the Tabernacle, and some of this gold was hammered into a lampstand, others into golden vessels and spoons. Just as the people of God made the articles used in the Tabernacle with gold, God has given true faith to you and me who now believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit, and He has refined our hearts, so that we may lack nothing to be used as His servants. As we are now trained with the Word of God, we are being shaped into the people of faith, into God’s workers.

Through the work of creation that God did on the fifth day, He is telling us about how the righteous are to live by their faith in God and in His Word.
Why did God say, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth”? Is this just about fish and birds? As we ponder upon this passage, we need to first keep in mind for whom the Bible was given. We can then realize that this passage was spoken to those who have received the remission of sin to live by faith.

God commanded to let there be birds flying in the firmament of the heavens and fish abounding in the water, and the birds and fish to be fruitful and multiply. This implies that the righteous should live by faith to bear an abundance of spiritual fruits. Accordingly, the righteous should naturally believe in God and His Word, in His Church, and in the fact that God leads them through His Church. They should have faith in the promise that they can triumph in body and spirit when they realize and believe that to preach the gospel of the water and the Spirit is God’s will.
Put differently, the righteous must set their hearts on God. We must set our minds before God to live according to His will in obedience, and we must live by placing our faith in God. God commanded the fish to multiply in the water. God told us to set our minds to live by faith, and the reason why He said this is because it is according to God’s will that we should live.

In today’s Scripture passage, God said, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures.” Just as the water abounded with fish, even now, countless righteous people who believe in God’s Word continue to carry out His work faithfully. Even at this very moment, the Word of God is alive and works with the righteous who walk by faith. It is my sincere hope that the righteous would keep on preaching the gospel of the water and the Spirit to sinners, as long as the Word of God exists on this earth.
The Word of God is nurturing our souls to grow and prosper in faith. God’s Word continues to nurture the believers in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. This world is abounding with more and more believers in the gospel Word of the water and the Spirit. At the same time, however, Satan is also trying to trouble us. Yet we must stand firmly on our faith. Despite Satan’s obstruction, we cannot stop spreading the gospel of the water and the Spirit.

After creating everything in this world, the very last thing that God created was mankind. The Bible says that when God created mankind, He created him according to His image and in His likeness. From today’s Scripture passage in Genesis, we can discover the God of Trinity.
The God whom we believe is God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. When God created the heavens and the earth, these three Persons of God—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—created mankind according to God’s image. From what God said here, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness,” we should be able to discover the Triune God. God created mankind according to His image. And the One who created this world and mankind was the Triune God: God the Father, Jesus Christ His Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is this God who created the heavens and the earth, everything between them, and mankind itself.

Today’s Scripture passage describes the sixth day of the creation of the heavens and the earth. Chapter one of the Book of Genesis provides a broad blueprint for God’s plan that allows us to see the plan in its entirety. And it foretells God’s completion of this design.
Our God created mankind for His glory, so that we should be to the praise of His glory. As Genesis 2:1 says, “Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished,” with His work on the sixth day, God completed everything He sought to do.
