Psalm 33:6, 9 1:1-19 - THE FIRST CREATIVE ACT - material constitution, the body cf. Job 38:1-38; 1:20-25 - THE SECOND CREATIVE ACT - moral constitution, the soul : self consciousness; cf. Job 38:39-39:30 1:26-31 - THE THIRD CREATIVE ACT - spiritual constitution, the spirit -God consciousness: cf. 2:7; Job 40:2-10 FOCUS OF THE CREATION: Genesis 1:26, 27 - Man introduced in God’s third creative act : The pinnacle of God’s creation -introduction of a being with a moral and spiritual constitution. Genesis 1:31: - God’s verdict: VERY GOOD THE NEW CREATION: THE CONSTITUENT PARTS Revelation 21:5 - Behold I make all things new (wholly different). Ephesians 4:24 - New (wholly different) man; cf. Colossians 3:10 ( renewed ) 2 Peter 3:13 - New (wholly different) heavens and new earth cf. 2 Corinthians 5:17: If any man be in Christ, he is new (wholly different) creation old things have passed away; behold! all things have become new (wholly different). The contrast (1 Corinthians 15:45, 47) 1st Creation: though the pinnacle of this creation, humanity was created last. Everything must be seen to be of God. New Creation: Man (the resurrected Christ) is introduced first and everything in this creation takes it character from Him
