A STUDY IN GENESIS

As promised, today we examine the meanings behind the names from Adam to Abraham. What you will see is something unique. God is declaring something that is truly breathtaking. However, unlike other posts, I believe I will point you to a video to watch, where the names are listed in a way that I would argue is both very simplistic and powerful. The link will be provided below. However, we need to understand that God is wanting to draw our attention, for each person that is different. For some, He is able to draw their attention by a scenario in their life, for someone else it is by examining creation. For some, it is Him telling them to follow Him in a very real and audible way. There is no one simple way God calls people to Him. God getting our attention does not mean there are multiple ways to salvation, but in fact, there is only one way, and that is through Jesus Christ. God can use whatever is needed to get your attention to understand that you need Jesus in your life.

Now, there are some who laugh at Christianity and declare it to be a farce that cannot live up to true scrutiny. For those who make this claim, I chuckle in disbelief that they have ever truly examined God’s Word or His creation. God’s Word is perfect, His creation, while filled with sin, still perfectly points to Him. The more I understand about the human anatomy, the more I am bewildered by those who believe we went from the “goo, to the zoo, to you.” God’s Word reveals a declaration of His intention that is beyond human control. This is where the list of names and their meanings come in. Examine the video, watch and fact check it yourself. It is a rich study that will undoubtedly shed more light on who Jesus really is to you and me. THE VIDEO LINK! Next week, we will dig into the numbers and see what God is pointing out to us.

Hold until relieved, our Blessed Hope is coming,
