Love was the beginning
We begin at the beginning of all things, with the Creator making a world that He describes as ‘good’. He creates the world not because He needs it, or owes it anything, but purely out of love. Miraculously, God creates human beings in a way that is like God. We are given capacity to “rule over” the creation. This daunting and exciting prospect has to be carried out as if we were God. In other words, we should only rule over creation in the way God would do so. That should give us pause to reflect on our own selfishness, wastefulness and hubris, and turn us instead towards God’s generosity, care and self-sacrifice. In verse 31, God expresses satisfaction with the whole project of creation, describing it as not just good, but “very good”. So good that He could, at that point, rest.
Question: Do you think of yourself as “acting like God”? In what areas of your life do you need to do this better?

“Love is love” has become a catchphrase of our times. But it does not have any meaning until we define what love is. The Christian starting point is to say that God is love. This series looks to understand the nature of God’s love. By the end of the series, I hope that the word ‘love’ has all the rich and flavoursome ingredients to it that Scripture has to offer.
