Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Genesis 1:21-28

CRITICAL NOTES.—Genesis 1:26. Man] Heb. ’âdhâm (Adam). The reader of the Heb. can scarcely resist the impression that a close connection was meant to be seen between ’âdhâm “man,” and, adhâmâh “earth,” “ground.” Guided by this, and by 1 Corinthians 15:47, we cannot doubt that “earth-born” (Kalisch) rather than “red,” “ruddy” (Ges. “perh”) gives the rad. conception of the word. Dominion] The orig., radhah, signifies to lay low, overthrow, tread down; hence subdue, rule. Genesis 1:28. Replenish]... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Genesis 1:24-26

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Genesis 1:24-26THE ANIMAL WORLDI. That the Animal World was created by God. All the creeping things of the earth are created by God. The cattle upon a thousand hills were made by Him. There is not an insect in the universe, but is the outcome of Divine power. Life, in its very lowest form, is the gift of God. Science cannot obtain it; Art cannot evoke it; dexterity cannot conjure it: God is its only source. If the animal world is created by God:—1. We should... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 1:1-31

Genesis 1:0 It is possible that God made at first only one kind of matter, the germ of all the universe. Indeed, Scripture seems to hint this in the sublime record of the origin of light: "And God said, Let there be light, and there was light." Here light is evidently regarded as the first of all sublunary things. The principal agent in this work was the Son of God. He had made the third heaven. He had created angels. The strong Satan himself was originally the workmanship of Christ. It is no... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 1:26

Genesis 1:26 It is not too much to say that redemption, with all its graces and all its glories, finds its explanation and its reason in creation. He who thought it worth while to create, foreseeing consequences, can be believed, if He says so, to have thought it worth while to rescue and to renew. Nay, there is in this redemption a sort of antecedent fitness, inasmuch as it exculpates the act of creation from the charge of short-sightedness or of mistake. "Let us make man in our image,"... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 1:27

Genesis 1:27 Man is one, yet threefold: he has mind, body, and soul, a mind ruling the body, a body executing the decrees of the mind, a soul giving life to and energising the body. On the mind alone there is a triple stamp of the Creator; in the mind of man are Intelligence, Will, and Memory. Intelligence, whereby he can understand about God; Will, whereby he may seek Him; Memory, whereby he may recall the blessings God has showered upon him. Before these three powers can obtain their... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 1:28

Genesis 1:28 Does this command mean for the human race a destiny of progress or poverty? This question is being pressed upon us to-day from many directions. It is asked, not only by theologians and economists, but as a vital question of daily bread by English labourers and workmen. In the power to bring social questions within the range of a common religious teaching is to be found, in these days, the true "note" of a standing or falling Church. If Christianity still holds the key to all the... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Genesis 1:26

DISCOURSE: 1CREATION OF MANGenesis 1:26. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.THOUGH men constantly trace their origin to their immediate parents, and frequently to their remoter ancestors, yet they rarely consider When, or How they first came into existence, or Whether any change has taken place in their nature since they came out of their Creator’s hands. That there was a period when no such creature as man existed, even reason itself would teach us; for every effect... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Genesis 1:26

make man in our image Man. Genesis 1:26; Genesis 1:27 gives the general, Genesis 2:7; Genesis 2:21-23 the particular account of the creation of man. The revealed facts are: (1) Man was created not evolved. This is (a) expressly declared, and the declaration is confirmed by Christ Matthew 19:14; Mark 10:6; Mark 10:6 (b) "an enormous gulf, a divergence practically infinite" (Huxley) between the lowest man and the highest beast, confirms it; (c) the highest beast has no trace of... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Genesis 1:28

DISPENSATION A dispensation is a period of time during which man is tested in respect of obedience to some specific revelation of the will of God. Seven such dispensations are distinguished in Scripture. (See Scofield " :-") , note 5. And God blessed them The First Dispensation: Innocency. Man was created in innocency, placed in a perfect environment, subjected to an absolutely simple test, and warned of the consequence of disobedience. The woman fell through pride; the man deliberately. 1... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 1:9-31

Chapter 1:9-31Now on the third day,God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters he called the Seas: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, and herb yielding seed, and fruit trees yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so (Gen 1:9-11). Now the key here is the... read more
