I’m going to tell a well-known story in an unusual way. It’s the story of Creation told through the lens of salvation. I’m beginning this with Genesis Chapter 1 and I’m changing some of the language. Instead of using the word, “earth,” I’m replacing that with the word, “person.” As a daughter of God, I want to make it very clear how the story of salvation is illustrated so very beautifully through the act of Creation. Scripture clearly says that when we are made new in Christ, we have become a New Creation. This is what that new creation is about. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
In the beginning, God created the atmosphere and the person. The person was without form and void; and darkness was deep in this person’s heart. And the Spirit of God was nurturing or shaking this person up in their dark atmosphere. The Holy Spirit was moving or inspiring this person. The Holy Spirit was calling this person out of darkness.
Then God said, “Let there be Light in this person’s atmosphere.” And there was Light. And God saw the Light and it was good. God approved the Light and divided the Light from darkness. God divided the Truth from the emptiness and void of darkness. God called the Light Day and the darkness He called Night. With the Light of Day, the person can see clearly and with the darkness of Night is adversity.
Because of how this person started out in darkness and God called the Light into their lives, we see how God calls each person out of the atmosphere of darkness into His atmosphere of Light and Peace. So evening and morning, is the first day.
This is the first of a series of writing about the creation account as the account of a person who is in the process of salvation. There are seven days in the week of Creation and so there will be seven short writings and descriptions in this whole process of how God recreates each person who answers His call. As daughters of God, we have been called out of darkness into light. And while we are being called out of darkness, we are given this same mission as we grow and learn in the atmosphere of Heaven. It is our mission as Inspired Daughters, to inspire others with the precious Light of Heaven, calling others into the Kingdom of Heaven where the Light comes from. (Matthew 28:18-20)
This writing is based on the following places in scripture:
(Isaiah 9:2; Matthew 4:16; Acts 26:18; John 8:12)
