F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Genesis 1:6-19

Sky, Earth, Seasons Genesis 1:6-19 There were successive stages in creation. The days probably represent long periods. It is so with the new creation in our hearts. See 2 Corinthians 5:17 . In nature the clouds that float above us are separated from the waters at our feet so in Christian experience we must seek to quench our thirst not only from below, but from above. See Colossians 3:1-4 . Our wells must be filled from Heaven. Notice how in creation there are repeated separations, as... 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 1:1-18

The Holy Spirit in the Old Testament Genesis 1:1-18 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We have a very interesting study to set before you today. Most of us realize how vital a part the Holy Spirit plays in our own experiences, both in life and in service, We need, however, to remember that the Holy Spirit, from the very beginning, held a prominent and indisputable place in the relationships of Deity toward men. There is a special sense in which the Holy Spirit is the representative of the Trinity among... 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

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 1:26-31

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 1:14

SUN AND MOON‘And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.’ Genesis 1:14 There are few words much oftener in our mouths than that short but most important word, ‘Time.’ It is the long measure of our labour, expectation, and pain; it is the scanty measure of our rest and joy. And yet, with all this frequent mention of it, there are, perhaps, few things about which men... 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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 1:31

THE DIVINE VERDICT‘And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good.’ Genesis 1:31 No one can prove to us that God made the world; but faith, which is stronger than all arguments, makes us certain of it. I. All which God has made is good, as He is, and, therefore, if anything in the world seems to be bad, one of two things must be true of it: (1) either it is not bad, though it seems so to us, and God will bring good out of it in His own good time; or (2) if the thing... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 1:11-13

‘And God said, “Let the earth put forth vegetation, herb yielding seed, and fruit tree bearing fruit in which is its seed, each according to its kind upon the earth.” And it was so. And the earth brought forth vegetation, herb yielding seed according to its kind, and tree bearing fruit in which is its seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning the third day.’ Again God commands and then what He commands takes place. Now God... read more
