Loyalty to Life (Genesis No.5)

In the beginning of time, God, the Master Gardener, created the heavens and the earth. As we look to chapter 2, we find that neither the dry land nor humanity is asked if they prefer to be created. God does not consult them if they desire his blessing. Yet, they are expected to possess the utmost loyalty to it. Creation must be loyal to life. God is the master gardener. His plan is not small. His plan is for the flourishing of life, it is quite literally to bless. The act of blessing, its most literal sense, is the act of giving life. This is God's work in the garden, to approach something with potential for good, and to give it life. #Servant #Master #God #Church #Theology #Creation #Genesis #Sermon #Bible #BibleStudy #Christian #Nazarene #ChurchoftheNazarene #Pastor #Suicide
