Day 18 – The Beginning of the Creation of God
Rev 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
Good morning! Today we’ll be looking at what the Bible refers to in the above verse. When one reads God’s word, one cannot make a judgment based on one single verse. We must read the entire chapter, sometimes the entire book in order to learn its meaning. The Bible doesn’t contradict itself so always look for a sister verse that defines it further. In fact, we’re encouraged to study whatever we read or hear to make sure we are not being misled.
Act 17:10-12 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. (11) These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. (12) Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
Unitarians believe that Jesus Christ is one of the creations of God, not the Second Person of the Trinity. Arians believed this as well. Jesus Christ was not created but is in fact the Creator.
Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Rev 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Rev 2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
It makes sense when we read this verse and see that Jesus is the “firstborn from the dead.” He died on that cross and arose on the third day so that we can have new life in Him. He was the first born of the Church, the Chief Cornerstone through His sinless life, death, burial and resurrection.
Christ was there in the beginning; He created all things and, therefore, this gives Him the right to be Saviour of His creation. Praise the Lord for His unending mercy and His grace!
