Genesis THE VISION OF CREATION Gen_1:26 - Gen_2:3 . We are not to look to Genesis for a scientific cosmogony, and are not to be disturbed by physicists’ criticisms on it as such. Its purpose is quite another, and far more important; namely, to imprint deep and ineffaceable the conviction that the one God created all things. Nor must it be forgotten that this vision of creation was given to people ignorant of natural science, and prone to fall back into surrounding idolatry. The comparison... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Genesis 1:20-31

Man Creation’s Crown Genesis 1:20-31 Creation reveals God’s nature, as the picture the artist. His eternal Power and Godhead are visible in His works. See Romans 1:20 . And all things and beings were made through Jesus Christ. Consider Colossians 1:15-16 . The hands of the Son of God wove the blue curtains above us and filled them with luminaries. The seas are His and He made them, and filled them with living creatures. The woodlands are the outcome of His mind, and He filled them with... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 1:1-31

The opening sentence of the Book of Genesis is an interpretation of the fact "that what is seen hath not been made out of things which do appear" ( Heb 11:3 ), and accounts for the things which are seen. The whole chapter, and, indeed, all subsequent Scripture, must be read in the light of this statement as to origins. This sentence is followed immediately by a declaration, without detail, of a cataclysm which overtook the earth. It then proceeds to show how the God who created, restored the... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 1:11-31

Creation Scenes Genesis 1:11-31 ; Genesis 2:1-2 INTRODUCTORY WORDS In Genesis 1:11 and Genesis 1:12 , we find the story of God's command to the earth to bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit. In all of this there is a wonderful depth of meaning affecting our spiritual lives. 1. The call of God to us is for fruitfulness. Whether it be in the natural earth or in the lives of saints, the great heart of God desires fruit. We remember how Christ said on one... read more

The Beginning and the Beginning Again Genesis 1:26-31 ; Genesis 2:1-10 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The word Genesis means the "beginning." It is the first Book of the Bible, and in its opening chapters we have the story of the beginning of the original creation, of the earth renewed and blessed, of the creation of man and of woman, of the vision of the Garden of Eden, of the entrance of sin and Satan, of the pronunciation of the curse, etc. The Book of Revelation is the Book of the "new beginning."... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 1:26

THE DIVINE IMAGE IN MAN‘And God said, Let us make man in our image.’ Genesis 1:26 It is not too much to say that redemption itself, with all its graces and all its glories, finds its explanation and its reason in creation. Mystery, indeed, besets us on every side. There is one insoluble mystery—the entrance, the existence of evil. It might have been fatal, whencesoever derived, whithersoever traceable, to the regard of God for the work of His own hands. He might have turned away with disgust... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 1:20-23

‘And God said, “Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and let birds fly above the earth on the face of the expanse of the heaven”. And God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 1:24-25

‘And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures, according to their kinds, cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds”, and it was so. And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, and cattle according to their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.’ We note here that God is not said to ‘create’ these living creatures. Thus their created life must in some way be derived... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 1:26

‘Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth”.’ “Let us make man.” The thought is intimate and personal, and carefully considered. Here will be one who has connections with the infinite, and Heaven is called on to consider this special act of creation, and indeed to participate in it to... read more
