Creation Moment 12/2/2022 - Lesson of Creation from the beginning

And the earth was without form, and void; 

and darkness was upon the face of the deep. 

Genesis 1:2

 

"The formless void of the earth is compared to the sinner before Christ comes into his heart. 

The earth was created in the beginning but without the light of the gospel it is fruitless and empty. 

In this context the darkness represents the old life and even the old covenant and the light represents the new life or new covenant. 

---This sequence is important to remember when we reflect on the process of salvation. 

God has given man a complete rule of life in his law. 

Obeyed, he shall live by it, through the merits of Christ. Transgressed, it has power to condemn.  

The law sends men to Christ, and Christ points them back to the law."
