“The Creator Our Savior Speaks” The Old Testament Survey

“I AM the Creator of all that exists, I am the Savior of all who cry out to me”

Genesis 1:1-3 (NLT) “In the beginning God (“Judge”) created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.”

Genesis 1:3–5, 31 (NLT) Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. Then He separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” And evening passed and morning came, marking the first day…31 Then God looked over all he had made, and He saw that it was very good!

Isaiah 42:8 (NKJV) I am the L ORD, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another…”

Isaiah 45:5-18 (NASB) "I am the LORD, and there is no other; Besides Me there is no God…"It is I who made the earth, and created man upon it. I stretched out the heavens with My hands And I ordained all their host…For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens (He is the God who formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not create it a waste place, But formed it to be inhabited),

"I am the LORD, and there is none else”.

Anaximander 611–547 B.C

Aristotle 384 BC – 322 BC An Greek philosopher, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great.

Aristotle’s teaching “The transition from lifeless to living matter is a gradual one, so that the dividing-line between them is scarcely perceptible. The lowest organisms originate from the primeval slime… there is a continual progression from simple, undeveloped types to the higher and more perfect…

As the highest stage, the end and aim of the whole process, man appears; all lower forms are merely unsuccessful attempts to produce him. The ape is a transitional stage between man and other animals.

“Science was not the origin of the theories of naturalistic philosophy; rather human philosophy was the origin of a theory of creative processes not involving God.”

"Philosophia“ “fond of wise things”

Athens Acropolis

Acts 17:22–25 (NIV84) “Paul then stood up in the meeting at the Areopagus and said: “Men of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Now what you worship as something unknown I am going to proclaim to you..

The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else.”

Romans 1:18-22 (TLB) “God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, evil men who push away the truth from them. For the truth about God is known to them instinctively; God has put this knowledge in their hearts. Since earliest times men have seen the earth and sky and all God made, and have known of his existence and great eternal power.

So they will have no excuse when they stand before God at Judgment Day. Yes, they knew about him all right, but they wouldn’t admit it or worship him or even thank him for all his daily care. And after a while they began to think up silly ideas of what God was like and what he wanted them to do.

The result was that their foolish minds became dark and confused. Claiming themselves to be wise without God, they became utter fools instead.”

Psalm 19:1-4 “”The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.”

"...man was created to be a spectator of this formed world, …eyes were given to him, that he might by looking on so beautiful a picture, be led up to the Author himself." John Calvin

Acts 4:24 (NASB) “And when they heard this, they lifted their voices to God with one accord and said, "O Lord, it is You who MADE THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH AND THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM…” (Psalm 146:6)

Revelation 4:8–11 (NLT) “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty— the one who always was, who is, and who is still to come.”… ”You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created all things, and they exist because you created what you pleased.”

“I am the Savior of all who cry out to me”

Genesis 49:18 (NKJV) “I have waited for your salvation, O L ORD !”

Isaiah 49:6–7 (NKJV) Indeed He says, ‘It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You as a light to the Gentiles, That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”

Genesis 22:8 (NKJV) And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for (see) Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.”

Isaiah 53:6-11 (NIV84) “ We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the L ORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all…” “After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.”

Luke 24:44–45 (NLT) “Then he said, “When I was with you before, I told you that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and in the Psalms must be fulfilled.” Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.”
