The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Genesis 1:26-31

The Creation and Blessing of Man v. 26. And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Man is the crown of creation; the Triune God held a special council session with Himself, determining to make man in His own image, with a blessed knowledge of the heavenly Father and possessed of a perfect... read more

Genesis THE VISION OF CREATION Gen_1:26 - Gen_2:3 . We are not to look to Genesis for a scientific cosmogony, and are not to be disturbed by physicists’ criticisms on it as such. Its purpose is quite another, and far more important; namely, to imprint deep and ineffaceable the conviction that the one God created all things. Nor must it be forgotten that this vision of creation was given to people ignorant of natural science, and prone to fall back into surrounding idolatry. The comparison... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Genesis 1:20-31

Man Creation’s Crown Genesis 1:20-31 Creation reveals God’s nature, as the picture the artist. His eternal Power and Godhead are visible in His works. See Romans 1:20 . And all things and beings were made through Jesus Christ. Consider Colossians 1:15-16 . The hands of the Son of God wove the blue curtains above us and filled them with luminaries. The seas are His and He made them, and filled them with living creatures. The woodlands are the outcome of His mind, and He filled them with... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 1:1-31

The opening sentence of the Book of Genesis is an interpretation of the fact "that what is seen hath not been made out of things which do appear" ( Heb 11:3 ), and accounts for the things which are seen. The whole chapter, and, indeed, all subsequent Scripture, must be read in the light of this statement as to origins. This sentence is followed immediately by a declaration, without detail, of a cataclysm which overtook the earth. It then proceeds to show how the God who created, restored the... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 1:11-31

Creation Scenes Genesis 1:11-31 ; Genesis 2:1-2 INTRODUCTORY WORDS In Genesis 1:11 and Genesis 1:12 , we find the story of God's command to the earth to bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit. In all of this there is a wonderful depth of meaning affecting our spiritual lives. 1. The call of God to us is for fruitfulness. Whether it be in the natural earth or in the lives of saints, the great heart of God desires fruit. We remember how Christ said on one... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 1:26-31

The Beginning and the Beginning Again Genesis 1:26-31 ; Genesis 2:1-10 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The word Genesis means the "beginning." It is the first Book of the Bible, and in its opening chapters we have the story of the beginning of the original creation, of the earth renewed and blessed, of the creation of man and of woman, of the vision of the Garden of Eden, of the entrance of sin and Satan, of the pronunciation of the curse, etc. The Book of Revelation is the Book of the "new beginning."... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 1:27

‘So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them.’ Now man’s privilege is stressed. He is created in God’s own image. Notice the stress on the fact that he is ‘created’, deliberately repeated three times in the verse. Three represents completeness. Again this is something totally new which does not come from what existed before. While his body is of the earth, his essential being is made in the likeness of God and the angels. However the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 1:28

‘And God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the face of the earth”.’ Like the living creatures man is ‘blessed’. They are to produce children and populate the earth. This again brings out that sexual functions, rightly used, are blessed by God. The verb ‘subdue’ is strong, as is ‘have dominion’. The latter means... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 1:1-31

Genesis 1:1 to Genesis 2:4 a. The Priestly Story of Creation.— This section belongs to the Priestly Document (P). This is shown by the use of several of its characteristic terms, by the constant repetition of the formulæ , and by the formal arrangement. P’ s interest in the origin of religious institutions is displayed in the explanation of the origin of the Sabbath. The lofty monotheism of the section is also characteristic of his theological position.The story rests upon a much older... read more
