What is the most unbelievable Bible verse? Is it Romans 5:8 “But
God commendeth His love toward us, that while we were yet sinners, Christ died
for us?” John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten
son, that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting
life?” Though these verses are miraculous, I believe the most unbelievable verse is the first verse in the Bible, Gen. 1:1. “In the beginning,
God created the heavens and the earth.”
First of all, this verse says that there was a beginning. A beginning
for creation; a preordained date for the beginning of time; one that was
preordained by God. Therefore, if God preordained the beginning, He must have been
before the beginning and if He had the power to preordain it, He must have been all powerful before the beginning.
Next we see that God and only God created everything. He
needed no one else to help Him. He needed no one else to guide Him. He did it
by Himself, with no assistance. Our lives are useless to Him, because He is all powerful and all knowing, for His knowledge and ability go beyond what our finite minds can fathom, yet He lets us live to see the wonders of His work, because He loves us!
Then we see what He created. God Created everything! God created everything from the entire outer
space and all the incredible stars and planets to the Hydrogen Atom, the smallest measurable mass. He created the earth and all
that is in it. All the plants and animals, and, most of all, he created man.
He created man in His own image to be able to research His creation, to take domain over the plants and animals, but to ultimately glorify Him. He also created man to be able to build things and create things with what God has given us. But we often fail at this. We try to do things, yet they never seem to quite come out the way we planned. But God never has that happen to Him! God did not need to sit down and write out His plan, or stop and think about
how everything would work, He spoke everything into existence and it works
perfectly, just as He designed it to. He knew how Nuclear Fission worked before He created Uranium. He knew how far the Sun is from the Earth before He created them. He knew all mathematical equations before numbers were created. All was preordained, all was created to work without us knowing anything about it, all was created in the beginning, right when He wanted it to.
Conclusion:
So the verse could be translated: “At a time that was
preordained by God, which God was before and all powerful before, God, and God alone, spoke into existence
everything that was created in a certain order so that His creation would work
flawlessly until the end of time.” From Gen. 1:1, we see that God is all powerful, all knowing, eternal, ruler of everything, loving, and demands our praise and allegiance! The message is clear, right in the first sentence in the Bible!
If you can believe the first verse in the Bible, you can
believe any verse in the Bible.
