Genesis 1:26-27, Hebrews 1:1-14 NIV

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 1:27

Genesis 1:27 Man is one, yet threefold: he has mind, body, and soul, a mind ruling the body, a body executing the decrees of the mind, a soul giving life to and energising the body. On the mind alone there is a triple stamp of the Creator; in the mind of man are Intelligence, Will, and Memory. Intelligence, whereby he can understand about God; Will, whereby he may seek Him; Memory, whereby he may recall the blessings God has showered upon him. Before these three powers can obtain their... read more

DISCOURSE: 1CREATION OF MANGenesis 1:26. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.THOUGH men constantly trace their origin to their immediate parents, and frequently to their remoter ancestors, yet they rarely consider When, or How they first came into existence, or Whether any change has taken place in their nature since they came out of their Creator’s hands. That there was a period when no such creature as man existed, even reason itself would teach us; for every effect... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Genesis 1:26

make man in our image Man. Genesis 1:26; Genesis 1:27 gives the general, Genesis 2:7; Genesis 2:21-23 the particular account of the creation of man. The revealed facts are: (1) Man was created not evolved. This is (a) expressly declared, and the declaration is confirmed by Christ Matthew 19:14; Mark 10:6; Mark 10:6 (b) "an enormous gulf, a divergence practically infinite" (Huxley) between the lowest man and the highest beast, confirms it; (c) the highest beast has no trace of... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 1:9-31

Chapter 1:9-31Now on the third day,God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters he called the Seas: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, and herb yielding seed, and fruit trees yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so (Gen 1:9-11). Now the key here is the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 1:1-31

Genesis 1:1. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth; all the orbs which revolve and shine in the expanse of heaven, measuring time by days, and years, and periods. By consequence, the sublime system of nature is not eternal. If matter were eternal, then the אלהים Elohim, Ο Θεοτης , the Godhead or Divinity who acts here, is also material, dependent on matter, and a necessary agent. The perfections of wisdom, goodness and love, can no longer be attributed to him. These... read more

Held by the Three Persons of the Ever-Blessed Trinity, who were one in the creative work. 2.

There must be a pause before such a being is made. The project must be... read more

Gen 1:26 And 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 fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Ver. 26. And God said, Let us make man. ] Man is the masterpiece of God’s handiwork. Sun, moon, and stars are but "the work of his fingers," Psa 8:3 but man the work of his hands. He is made of divine nature, cura divini ingenii made by... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 1:27

Gen 1:27 So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Ver. 27. So God created man in his own image. ] There is a double image of God in the soul. One in the substance of it, whereof I have spoken in the former verse. The other in the qualities and supernatural graces, of knowledge in the understanding, rightness or straitness in the will, and holiness in the affections. In all these, man, when he came first out of God’s mint, shone... read more
