Summary: 2ND SERMON ON Genesis series
Brother Gene, what about all of the early men they have found?
2. God created people – Evolutionists would have us believe that you and I are the result of random chance. That somewhere, millions and millions of years ago, a few chemicals got together, and then, somehow, by chance, life evolved.
Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
This verse says that what we see in the world was made by Christ and that it was not created by what is seen. In other words, it did not evolve out of something that was here. Jesus Christ made it all, instantaneously.
Genesis 1 tells us God created us, man, in His image. We are special. Evolutionists try to tell us that we evolved from apes, that we are not special, and they trot out “missing links” to prove it.
* Java-man, ½-man, ½-ape. They forget to tell you that this whole animal was constructed from 1 skull cap found in 1891, and 1 human thigh bone found a year later, 46 feet away.
* Nebraska man, which was used in the “Monkey trial,” against creationists in the early 1900’s. They don’t tell you the entire man was invented from 1 tooth they discovered. Years after the trial, the rest of the skeleton was found and it turns out the tooth came from a now extinct kind of wild hog.
* Piltdown Man. Around 1900, he was discovered. That entire man was built around a few bone fragments found in a gravel pit. It was 40 years before researchers discovered that he was nothing more than an elaborate hoax. Several bones were taken from a human skeleton & an ape. They were aged with chemicals to look older, and then they were buried in a gravel pit, only to be uncovered 3 years later by the same man who hid them.
- Genesis 3:20, Eve the mother of all living
- Romans 5:12, by 1 man, sin entered the world, & death by sin.
There is no evolution. Though scientists have tried countless times in their laboratories to create life, they have been unable to. As far as anyone has been able to see, pigs come from pigs, cows have baby cows, ducks have baby ducks, and people have baby people, ever since God made them all. My friends, God is the Creator. He is the Creator of the universe and He created us.
But, because of the Devil’s subtleness, his lies and man’s desire to be his own boss, his own God, many have willingly chosen to deny, in spite of the evidence, that God created them.
IV. SINCE GOD CREATED ALL THINGS
Since God created everything
1. He knows how it works best
In the months ahead, off an on, we will be studying the book of Genesis. In this book we find that God designed and created all things. He designed man and woman. He designed the first marriage. He designed the first family.
Since God created all things, He knows best how they work. When He says, “Husbands love your wife as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her.” He says that because He knows that’s what you need to do, and because He knows that’s what she needs.
