The Creation of Humanity: God’s Purpose and Design in Genesis

The Creation of Humanity: God’s Purpose and Design in Genesis The creation of the human race stands at the very heart of God’s purpose for the universe. From the beginning, every step of creation was carefully ordered to prepare a perfect home for Adam and Eve, the first humans. Scripture makes it clear that mankind was not an afterthought but the central object of God’s creative plan. Humanity at the Center of Creation Genesis reveals that everything—light, water, land, plants, animals, and even the heavenly bodies—was created with one ultimate goal: to provide an environment in which humanity could flourish. In a profound sense, the universe itself was designed as the stage for God’s redemptive plan, where mankind would play the leading role. The Bible also teaches that the human race remains central to God’s eternal purposes. Everything else in creation—planets, stars, and even the heavens—will eventually come to an end. Jesus Himself declared, “the sun will ...

The Unfathomable Love of God: Understanding Christ’s Redeeming and Covenant Love

The Unfathomable Love of God: Understanding the Depth of Christ’s Redeeming Love When the apostle Paul prayed for the church at Ephesus, he asked that they would be “strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man” so that they might “comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge” (Ephesians 3:16–19). This passage is both comforting and humbling. It reminds us that even with Spirit-supplied strength, human minds can only begin to grasp the immeasurable dimensions of God’s love. And even then, what we understand is only a small glimpse of an infinite reality. But why is God’s love so difficult to fully understand? What makes it so incomprehensible? The answer is revealed throughout Scripture: God’s love is a redeeming love . It is not merely a sentimental feeling or a general benevolence toward humanity. It is a saving, sacrificial, covenant love demonstrated most clearl...

Understanding the Love of God: Deep, Sovereign, and Redeeming

Understanding the Depths of God’s Love: A Biblical Perspective Understanding the Love of God: Deep, Sovereign, and Redeeming | thedailysword When we talk about love, the world often paints it as a warm, universal sentiment—something soft, inclusive, and unconditional. But in the Bible, God’s love is far more profound, complex, and even, at times, disturbing to the human mind. As Pastor John MacArthur boldly states, “Most professing Christians do not understand the love of God. It is far more profound, it is far more complex, and frankly, it is incomprehensible.” Why is that? Because true biblical love isn’t shallow sentimentality—it’s a powerful, purposeful, and deeply personal act of divine grace. The Supernatural Strength to Know God’s Love In Ephesians 3:16–19 , the Apostle Paul prays a powerful prayer for believers: “I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may ...

Understanding God’s Nature: The Foundation of the Gospel

Understanding God’s Nature: The Foundation of the Gospel “In the beginning God . . .” (Genesis 1:1). The story of redemption begins not with man, but with God Himself. When preaching the gospel, we must start at the right place—acknowledging the character, authority, and holiness of God. Without this foundation, the message of salvation is easily distorted into something man-centered rather than God-centered. Why the Gospel Must Begin with God It is not necessary to give an exhaustive discourse on every attribute of God before someone can understand the gospel. Even the most mature believer cannot fully comprehend the infinite majesty of God. However, it is impossible to faithfully present the gospel without addressing who God is and correcting the false ideas about Him that dominate the world. Many today craft a god out of their own imagination—a god of sentimentality, personal preference, or cultural convenience. But this is idolatry. Just as no one can rewrite the la...

Created in God’s Image: The Biblical Truth vs. Evolution’s Error

Created in God’s Image: The Biblical Truth vs. Evolution’s Error For centuries, one of the most controversial debates has been between the Bible’s account of creation and the theory of evolution . Evolution teaches that mankind is simply another animal in the chain of survival, while the Scriptures declare a higher, eternal truth — that man is uniquely made in the image of God . Understanding this difference is not just an academic issue; it is at the heart of the gospel message itself. Why Evolution’s View of Man Falls Short In 1970, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones summarized the failure of evolution’s philosophy in a simple but profound statement: “The modern view of man makes too much of him, and at the same time, not enough of him.” Evolution strips humanity of its divine purpose by reducing us to mere animals, yet it elevates man’s morality by declaring him to be naturally good or neutral. Both assumptions directly contradict biblical truth . Made in God’s Image (Imago De...

Mary and Martha: Choosing the Good Portion (Luke 10:38–42)

Lessons from Mary and Martha: Choosing the Good Portion (Luke 10:38–42) There are no careless or wasted words in Scripture. Every verse is written with divine precision. Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the biblical authors recorded exactly what God wanted to deliver to His people. That means even short and seemingly simple passages—like the story of Mary and Martha —are filled with timeless instruction for every believer. In Luke 10:38-42 , we find a powerful lesson about humility, priorities, and what it truly means to walk with Christ. Mary and Martha in Scripture The account begins as Jesus enters a village and is welcomed by Martha into her home: “Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word. But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, ‘Lord, do You not care t...

Mary and Martha: Lessons on Worship and Service from the Bible

Mary and Martha: Lessons on Worship and Service from the Bible Siblings often share physical resemblances and similar upbringings, but their personalities can differ in striking ways. In Scripture, we meet two sisters— Mary and Martha —who both loved Jesus deeply, yet expressed their devotion in very different ways. Their story reveals timeless lessons about worship, service, and priorities in the Christian life. Mary, the True Worshiper The Gospels highlight three significant encounters between Jesus and these sisters, with the most profound one recorded in John 12:1-8, Matthew 26:6-13, and Mark 14:3-9 . This moment gives us the clearest picture of Mary’s devotion to Christ. The dinner took place at the home of Simon the leper —a man who had likely been healed by Jesus, since active lepers were not allowed in public gatherings ( Leviticus 13:45–46 ). Surrounded by close friends and disciples, the event may have also served as a celebration of Lazarus’s resurrection ...
