☀️No Sun

Bible Difficulty:  

Q: there was no sun till a certian day God Created it. So how was there light until then? 

A: Jesus is the light. 🌟 He is the essential light. 😊

More on that here. 

This Sermon (investigation of Scripture) explains this well. 

Note about the creation light:
Gen 1:5, the 1st day. God completed the creation in 7 days, which constituted a complete week. One "day" can refer to: 1) the light portion of a 24 hour period (1:5,14); an extended period of time (2:4); or 2) the whole 24 hour period while the earth completes a full rotation on its axis. Each "day" in Genesis refers to a 24 hour period. The cycle of light and dark means that the earth was rotating on its axis, receiving light from a source on one side of the earth, even though the sun was not yet created (v16). (*)

Besides non believers, one of the biggest sources of issue with what "Christians" believe, is that they do not read the Bible and do not submit to God's revealed Word. A study was done a few years back that showed only about 2% in the church actually read the Bible regularly.

Let me ask you. Would you be in a close relationship with someone if you never talked to each other every day, or only once a week, or every few years? If you are Spouse A Would you be ok with Spouse B only talking to you but you never being able to talk to them? Would you be ok if your Spouse B constantly only asked you for things and never had a actual relationship with you?

You cannot be in a relationship with God if see him as some cosmic genie who only hears from you and only grants you wishes. That's not God.

The Bible is God communicating with you, and prayer is you communicating with God. How can you say you follow Jesus when you don't even know Him? You don't know His teachings, you do t know what He has said or revealed to you- from Genesis to Revelation? Did you think you only communicate with Him and open the Bible on Sunday? What kind of relationship is that?? No one in their right mind would stick around with a S.O. or even a friend who only showed up to get what they wanted and bounced. And you are claiming to be of the church- the bride of Christ?

A personal relationship with God is a daily relationship. It's not just that we pray without ceasing, (praying for His Will). But that we are to hide the Scriptures in our heart. Treasure the Word, be washed and renewed by the Word* - daily. Not just washing ourselves from dirt (sin), not just remembering John 3:16, but by being in the Word. Scripture tells us We should not be babies in the faith and not know Scripture, but we should be in the deep things of Scripture.

Pastors spend a lifetime expounding on the treasures of the Word, and we should be in it daily. If we love Jesus we need Him. We live Him, we follow Him. And that requires us to be constantly in the Word.

As a Christian you should be wanting to be in the Word daily. You can't help but soak yourself it it.

So, if you claim to be a believer, starting today,, set a daily alarm on your phone for 15 to 30 minutes of quiet time in the Word and God will speak to you. Not fir you to cherry pick something and make it about you, but fir God to reveal Himself to you so you submit to Him, and hold His Word as the Authority in your life, as Truth and eternal fact.
