INSPIRATION FOR SIGNIFICANCE With Pastor Nuel The Bible Story: A Tale of Unfailing Love (5) We have been looking at an overview of the bible. Seven keys that completely unlock the bible and show how that the bible is truly a tale of Gods unfailing love. We have covered two so far. 1. God made the earth for man 2. God made man and gave him dominion over the earth The third is this: God gave man THE BLESSING as the equipment to express his dominion. Genesis 1:28 Then GOD BLESSED THEM, and GOD SAID TO THEM, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Some versions read God blessed them saying.... But the original language carries the idea of two separate actions. God FIRST blessed them, THEN he said to them be fruitful and multiply... This shows that there was something God did to them and put THE BLESSING on them before saying anything to them. Maybe he put his hands on them. Maybe he laid on top of them. Maybe he hugged them. However he did it, the fact is that God put a tangible spiritual reality on them called THE BLESSING, before placing any demand on them. There is a side note here, something that shows Gods nature - God NEVER places a DEMAND without making a SUPPLY first. More on this later! This BLESSING is what the whole bible is about. The loss of it, the re-instatement of it, and everything in between. In fact, if man had not lost THE BLESSING through sin, the bible would have ended in Genesis Chapter 2 with and God and man live happily ever after. But man lost THE BLESSING! More tomorrow! What you feed your spirit matters! If you feel a need for more spiritually, pray about joining us in Church this Sunday, 9am.
