Lesson 3: God the Creator

Recognizing the Master’s Hand in Creation

This session focuses on God as the ultimate Creator, using Genesis 1-2 as our primary foundation for understanding His nature and works. We move from the basic "milk" of knowing God exists to the "meat" of understanding His transcendence—how He exists beyond the time, space, and matter He created. Our study emphasizes the concept of creation ex nihilo, affirming that God spoke the world into being from nothingness by His sheer will and love. We also address how this majestic account refutes false philosophies like atheism and materialism, pointing instead to a purposeful, intelligent design. Ultimately, we challenge every believer to look at the verbs of God's activity to see how He prepared a perfect environment for us, demanding a response of worship and holiness. By the end of this study, your view of the Creator will be more focused, strengthening your daily practice of faith.
