THE ORIGIN OF OUR WORLD AND OUR UNIVERSE IS GOD
“ex-nihilo” = out of nothing
I AM INTENTIONALLY AND WONDERFULLY DESIGNED BY GOD
Psalms 139:13-16 NIV
Genesis 3:1-8 NIV
Genesis 2:16-17 NIV
THE FALL OF MAN HAPPENED BECAUSE PEOPLE DOUBTED GOD'S GOODNESS, WHICH LED THEM TO REJECT HIS AUTHORITY.
Genesis 3:15 NIV
2 TRUTHS TO FIGHT TEMPTATION:
1. God isn’t wrong; MY JUDGMENT is wrong.
2. What God already gave me is GOOD.
Have you learned to recognize your wrongdoing as doubting God's goodness?
Have you rejected your own faulty reasoning, placing your confidence back in God's wisdom again, or do you still think you know better than God?
Next Steps:
- Do I struggle to accept as truth any of the 3 cairns we talked about today?
- How convinced am I that the origin of our universe is God?
- How fully have I embraced God's truth that I'm intentionally and wonderfully designed by God?
- Are there any specific ways I have doubted God's goodness and therefore rejected His authority? (What am I going to do about that?) Consider affirming the 2 truths we discussed regarding your specific temptation.
