Genesis Introduction

The Most Hated Verse In The Bible

Imagine you know you are about to lose your ability to remember Bible verses, and you will only be able to hang to three. And you get to pick which three you'll still remember. What three verses would you pick? Turing this question around, which three verses do you think Satan would want to be sure you did not remember?

There is one section of scripture that stands out as being the most attacked part of the Bible. It is even distorted and misreoresented in seminaries. Churches avoid teaching about this section of scripture. And the attacks from our culture against this scripture are relentless and they are everywhere, from children's cartoon shows, to the daily news, and throughout the public school system. Our government even makes laws assuring this scripture is attacked and cannot be defended in public. What section of scripture do you think this is?

It is Genesis 1 -11. Do you think I'm being too harsh? Actually I'm holding back. It's even worse than this. This video is an introduction to our study of Genesis. One of the ways we know Genesis 1 - 11 is so important, is that it is attacked so much. This is the scripture Satan hates and wants you to forget.

GOD KNOWS YOU...
HE KNOWS EVERYTHING!

hiding from God


You cannot hide anything from God, and you can't hide from God:

'Can a man hide himself in hiding places So I do not see him?' declares the LORD 'Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?' declares the LORD. - Jeremiah 23:24

Imagine you have an SD card in your head that records every thought and dream. We record for a month and then rent a theater. All your friends are invited as we play that SD card on the big screen. How would you feel?

That's what God sees. He is disgusted and knows that because of your sin (those thoughts we all see on the big screen) you will never be with God. But God still loves you, and He made an incredible sacrifice for you. He died in your place.

You have a choice. Reject God... and get what you say you want... you'll spent eternity separated from God. And that means separated from EVERYTHING that is good. Think about that.

Or accept the gift God offers... trust that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay the penalty you've earned (remember those thoughts on the SD card). Jesus paid your penalty in full. It is finished

There is no darkness or deep shadow Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. - Job 34:22
