Creator God – Chapter One
Introduction
The Bible begins with these words: “In the beginning God. . . .” The Bible does not prove the existence of God, but rather begins directly with God. The first chapter of the Bible reveals that God is the Creator. The word “God” occurs 4,379 times in the Bible. Therefore let us know about this Creator God in our very first study.
Seven Words Used for God
The purpose of waiting
“And I will wait on Thy name” Psalm 52:9c
Waiting is a life-long lesson. We learn to wait when we’re children. We conquer that kind of waiting (like for Christmas, our birthdays, summer vacation). Then, as adults we realize we have to wait for a lot of things especially in regard to our faith and prayer requests.
Looking up “wait on” in the Hebrew, I found something very thought provoking. This is part of it:
Gods work – No pain
Hello I’m now a 22 year old girl. Many years ago i started to get stomach pain and it came and left. Soon it started to get worse. And i didn’t go to the doctor because it wasn’t that bad at the beginning. Its just the type of person i am. I don’t eat painkillers unless its really bad. I don’t take medicine unless its really bad. I don’t cry if unless its really bad. So i didn’t go to the doctor because it was pain only a few times and not so often. But it got worse and worse and i couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me.
Jesus is Mighty to Save – My Testimony
Dear Friends,
For my baptism, instead of standing up and giving my testimony, I felt God inspire me to put it in the form of a slideshow. The words/saying that came to me was “A picture is worth a thousand words”. I pray that it will inspire and encourage my fellow brothers and sister to hand their lives over to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, in hope that they will let Him guide their lives and shower them with peace, power and prosperity.
A MIRACLE FOR JUSTIN
For those of you who think God is “dead” or non-existent, I beg to differ. I became a believer when I was just 11, but never really understood the magnificent power and level of mercy of God Almighty until I almost lost my son…

The Nature of God
In the previous lesson we saw that the Bible is God’s word to us and speaks with the authority of God to us regarding many things. One of the most important revelations we can receive from the Bible is the character of God. The Bible tells us what God is like – his attributes, his ways in dealing with mankind, his heart. Our traditions, preconceptions, experiences and reasonings do not always tell us the truth about God. The Bible does however.
