CHAPTER 1  - GOD AS CREATOR

• God - Elohim - the creator of the world and man.
• He is the originator of all things in the world - we are serving a God who created the entire universe, all the living and non-living things in such a perfection. He is the perfect designer, architect, engineer and doctor. 
• He created everything so beautifully from void, empty and darkness - He is capable of making our life beautiful even if it seems to be empty and dark..
• Holy spirit was hovering over the water - If the holy spirit comes in your life... you will walk in the dry land among the water of your problems. Spirit of Lord will bring life and power to what seemed to be dead and useless.
• God used His word to create everything - Let there be light, Let the water gather" - God's words give life. God communicates to the world through His word. He sent Jesus to this world as His word. John 1:1 says that "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God..The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us." 
• God made man in His own image - We are such a privileged lot to be made in God's own image. We are made with more care and love - unlike the other creations. We are His creations and nothing can separate us from God. We are the last in creation and we are created with a purpose. We need to seek what is God's expectation from us and need to fulfill that. 
• God gave us the authority to rule over all the other creations -   We are given the complete authority to take possession of the entire creations of the universe. But still we are not understanding our power. We are getting obliged to Satan - the ruler of this universe and living a life of slavery. God wants us to be aware of our power and rights and live a life of authority.
• Finally God saw that whatever He created is good ... including us. We are so precious for Him. He made everything to be meaningful and complete.
