The first chapter of the Word of God gives us three major keys to understanding God, and to understanding man’s place in God’s plan. The first major key deals with Authority.

1. AUTHORITY-Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the
heaven and the earth.
Man is a created being. We did not evolve from gas, to protoplasm, to fish, to monkey, to man. An all-knowing, all-powerful God created us. As such, He is in a position of authority over us. Man’s attempts to legitimize evolution and reincarnation: or attempts to put us in a preexistent spiritual state with God are unscriptural. They are simply attempts to circumvent God’s Authority. The first verse of the Scripture rules out many of man’s ways.
a. Atheism-Fools deny the existence of God
b. Agnosticism-God is known through His creation
c. Polytheism-Teaches that there are many gods.
d. Pantheism-Teaches that all creation is god.
e. Evolution-The universe came into being by chance.
f. Materialism-Teaches that matter is eternal.
g. Fatalism-Teaches there is no Divine plan.

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Proverbs 14:12

Many years ago we started a study of God's Word that we called Scripture Keys. The goal was to bring out keys to understanding the Bible as we looked at it chapter by chapter. This page will reproduce many of those studies.
