Genesis 2, the Breath of Life!

Gen 2:7, And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE; and man became a living being.

With HIS breath HE gave us life and, also a part of HIMSELF! His spirit!

Gen 2:17, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, FOR IN THE DAY THAT YOU EAT OF IT YOU SHALL SURELY DIE.”

They ate of it yet they didn’t die physically, but spiritually that’s why JESUS said that we must be born again! We need to revive that eternal spirit in us! In John 3:9, JESUS spoke with Nicodemus,

it was hard for him (the Pharisee) to understand what JESUS said about being born again!

‘HOW CAN THESE THINGS BE’?? 

Elihu said, Job 32:8, BUT THERE IS A SPIRIT IN MAN, AND THE BREATH OF THE ALMIGHTY GIVES HIM UNDERSTANDING. 

The breath of GOD not only gives life but also understanding. That’s why it was hard for him Nicodemus to understand JESUS, he was a religious man yet, without the spirit of HIM! 

Understanding of the scriptures, of HIM, and ourselves that we are sinners saved by grace!  Without HIS spirit we believe we are good people

Genesis 1, In the beginning

Gen 1:1, IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH. 

The beginning was the creation of TIME, SPACE, & MATTER as we know it today! Time has no power over it’s Creator, but the Creator can see yesterday, today and tomorrow whenever HE pleases! HE INHABITS ETERNITY, ISAIAH 46:10

Isa 46:10, DECLARING THE END FROM THE BEGINNING, AND FROM ANCIENT TIMES THINGS THAT ARE NOT YET DONE, Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure,’ 

Psa 33:9, For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. 

Gen 1:16, THEN GOD MADE TWO GREAT LIGHTS: THE GREATER LIGHT TO RULE THE DAY, AND THE LESSER LIGHT TO RULE THE NIGHT. HE MADE THE STARS ALSO. 

Psalm 8:3-4, WHEN I CONSIDER YOUR HEAVENS, THE WORK OF YOUR FINGERS, THE MOON AND THE STARS, WHICH YOU HAVE ORDAINED, What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?

When we consider the work of HIS hands and realize just how small we are in comparison we can only be in awe of HIM!  One verse for the universe and yet spent days creating this world for us! What is man in YOUR eyes? Thank YOU!
