"Have You Not Read...?"

June 6, 2016

“Have You Not Read…?”

Blessings folk!

By faith we believe that God created ex nihilo - from nothing.

Heb 11:3
By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.


The writer of Hebrews believed this.
The prophets believed this.
Jesus believed and referenced this.

How do I know?

Jesus referred to Genesis 1-3…

Mat 19:3-6
Some Pharisees came to Jesus, testing Him and asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason at all?”

And He answered and said, “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE,

and said, ‘FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH’?

“So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”


Jesus is quoting Genesis.
Jesus speaks of humans being “created” male and female. He knows. He did the creating!
From the beginning!
Jesus quotes Genesis related to the two becoming one flesh.

Jesus believes, confirms and affirms Genesis 1-3.

How then can we deny it?

Yet, many professing believers do.

Walk not in the fear of man.

Know that God created.
All that He revealed in Genesis 1-3 is true and accurate.

Know and believe this…

Gen 1:1
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

If we do not believe the first verse in the Word, then why should we believe the balance.
We can not reject one truth and accept another.

Rejoice in that which He has done and which we can not see.
