Seen from the Beginning

Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. Seen from the beginning, for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made; even His eternal power and Godhead, Romans one twenty. One reason we should trust what God says about our earliest beginnings is that the New Testament agrees with what Genesis records in the Old Testament. What did New Testament authors say happened in the very beginning? Prophets began revealing God's words to human hearers when the world began.

Zechariah said, "After the Lord restored his voice, as he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began." Genesis says Adam and Eve were created at the start of time, and Mark affirmed this. But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. Today's New Testament verse teaches that creation has been revealing the Lord's invisible things, meaning His supernatural essence, since the creation of the world. Similarly, Hebrews one ten aligns with Genesis one, and that God laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and not billions of years after time began. Clearly, both testaments agree on a recent creation.

These records falsify. By ancient and modern pagan notions of eons before Adam, Peter encouraged his readers to be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets in the Old Testament, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour in the New Testament. Belief in both the Old and New Testaments elevates our opinion of God's Word and thus His character. He spoke the truth in the beginning about our beginnings. We can trust this God, who is Himself the truth.
