We were created in the image of God, blessed to procreate a govern the planet Earth.
On the next day - the seventh day, God had established His memorial of creation.
On the seventh day God ended His work which He had made and He rested.
Furthermore, God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it.
Thus blessing is pronounced on time as it was on living creatures.
Furthermore, God hallowed the
seventh day.
In other words, He endowed this day with quality only He posses.
Thus after creating the planet earth and everything needed for Adam and Eve to live in Eden, the next day - the seventh-day of God's rest He had a face to face communion with them.
At that time the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy.
Thus the entire Universe welcomed human species - the special creation in God's image.
Only the group of Satan and His followers were not exited. They saw humans as another to battle over God's allegiance.

Satan’s misrepresentation of God's character.
He causes people to cherish false conceptions of God, so that they regard Him with fear and hate, rather than with love.
At the same time the cruelty in his own character he attributes to the Creator.
It is embodied in systems of religion and expressed in modes of worship.
Furthermore, many were led to believe human sacrifices are necessary to secure the favour of Deity.
Thus horrible cruelties have been committed under the various forms of idolatry.
Satan challenged the trustfulness of God.
Ye shall not surely die; for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. Genesis 3:4, 5.
Through Satan's suggestions and temptations, the Father
had been represented as One of a stern and unforgiving nature and full of revenge;
Who watches His creatures with jealous eyes and spying their errors;
Lawgiver whose Law is beyond the power of people to keep; Delighting in punishing them by the severest discipline.
Furthermore, the Christian life had been represented as a life of hardship and sorrow and there can be no peace or joy in God’s service.
Therefore, many doubt, and it seems almost impossible for them to lay hold on the hope in the Gospel of Christ.
Thus with blinded minds people become Satan's agents to war against God and His Law.

This is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. 1 John 1:5-7
The light of God's glory is His character
The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth. Exodus 34:6
He commanded the light to shine in our hearts - the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6
Fix your eyes upon Jesus
Christ has led the way - He is the true Shepherd.
He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. John 8:12
Thus the followers of Christ walk in the light that shines upon them. They exemplify the goodness of God revealed in His Word and by His Spirit.
"Therefore, when you follow the light, walking in the path of truth, you reflect the rays of glory."
Wherefore awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. Ephesians 5:14
Walk in the light of His Word
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105

Therefore, be prepared for the last great day, going forward with the light you accumulated.

By the Word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.

His creative power is as incomprehensible to us as His existence.
Though there is a constant effort made by many to explain God’s work of creation as the result of natural causes,
Scriptures testify of His power and greatness.
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows his handiwork.
The secret things belong unto the Lord our God; but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever.
How does God sustain His creation?
God’s energy is still exerted in upholding the objects of His creation. The operations of nature are conducted in harmony with His laws with which He can interfere.
Thou, even thou, art Lord alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things therein, . . . and thou preservest them all.
Furthermore, every breath and pulsation of the heart is an evidence of the all-pervading care of God in whom we live, and move, and have our being.
These wait all upon thee...That thou givest them they gather; thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

All righteous attributes of character dwell in God as a perfect and harmonious whole. In Christ we behold the image of the invisible God. We see the true Divine Character in the light of the Cross: mercy, tenderness and forgiveness blended with fairness and justice. Thus we comprehend the
significance of that adorable title - our Father. The attributes of God were made known through Christ’s: incarnation, suffering and crucifixion, resurrection and ascension.
God's Son came into the world to reveal, as far as could be endured by human sight, His
personality and the attributes of His character. The Scriptures clearly indicate the relation between God and Christ. They show the personality and individuality of each. Therefore, all who are capable of discerning spiritual things pronounce Jesus - the Son of God.
God has revealed Himself in His Son. Christ came in the likeness of sinful flesh, clothing His Divinity with humanity, in order that He might bring before the world the perfection of God in His own character.
God is love. This is the great truth which Christ declares to our world. The law of love is the foundation of God's government. Therefore, He has granted freedom of will to everybody. He endowed humans with capacity to appreciate His character. Furthermore, with ability to love Him, and to choose His service. Scriptures gives knowledge and understanding of the character of God and His government.

Therefore He gives you power, that through faith in His name you might live.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Take God at His Word: Thy sins be forgiven thee. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life.

The whole purpose of the plan of salvation is to restore the image of God in humans. Moreover, creatures again to be in harmony with their Creator.
Our own hearts separate us from God:
But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear. Isaiah 59:2.
Furthermore, we cannot of ourselves change them:
Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one. Job 14:4.
Though sin has brought enmity:
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the Law of God, neither indeed can be. Romans 8:7.
God's purpose is peace through Christ:
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:11.
A complete change is wrought through Jesus:
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17;
which is nothing less than creation:
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. Galassians 6:15.
The Gospel is the same creative power manifested in humans salvation:
For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; Romans 1:16.
But we have learned that this creative power is in God's Word (lesson 2).
Moreover, it is equally true whether applied to the creation of a world or a new heart.
Thus through faith in God’s promises our natures may be changed by the power of His Word.
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature,
having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 2 Peter 1:4.
When God speaks righteousness in place of sin:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood,
to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; Romans 3:23-25;
and declaring righteous the ungodly:
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Romans 4:5;
we are to believe in the power of His Word supplying the fact.

The same power of God's Word, by which all things were created in the
beginning, begets a new life in the
believer.
We receive Christ by believing on Him: But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the
sons of God, even to them that believe on His name. John 1:12.

The breath of God's mouth is a breath of life.
Moreover, His Spirit has the same creative power as His Word.
Therefore, His Word, which is life: The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life, John 6:63, is God-breathed - All scripture is given by inspiration of God. 2 Timothy 3:16.
Moreover, the same Word that created is the power which now preserves.

28. They distrusted the ultimate love of
their Creator, believing that He
withholds them from having higher
experience.
29. Thus separating from God, they
disconnect themselves from the
Source of all forms of life.
30. For God is our life, in Him we
live, and move, and have our
being.
31. Thus by one man sin entered into
the world, and death by sin; and
so death passed upon all men, for
that all have sinned.
32. God didn't give up on humans.
He gave us a second chance,
promising to deliver and restore His
image in us.
33. The Lord God said unto the serpent, I will put enmity
between thee and the woman, and between thy seed
and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt
bruise his heel.
34. God kept His covenant
with Noah, Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob.
35. Moreover, all the nations of the earth will
be blessed;
Because that Abraham obeyed God's
voice, and kept His charge, His
commandments, His statutes,
and His laws.
36. At His appointed time of
humans' history, God
miraculously had delivered
the children of Israel from
Egyptian slavery.
37. He had required His people to regard the
seventh-day rest sacred to the Lord in their
wilderness journey when fed them with
heavenly bred.
38. You may gather the food for six
days, but the seventh day is the
(day of rest) Sabbath. There will
be no food on the ground that
day.
39. Thus God gave to people to keep free
from all secular labor the sanctified day
of His rest established to commemorate
His creation.
40. And it came to pass, that there went out
some of the people on the seventh day
for to gather, and they found none.
41. And the Lord said
unto Moses, How
long refuse ye to
keep my
commandments
and my laws?
42. See, for that the Lord hath given you the
sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth
day the bread of two days;
43. Abide ye every man in his place, let no man
go out of his place on the seventh day.
So the people rested on the seventh day.
47. Remember the
sabbath day, to
keep it holy. The
seventh day is the
sabbath of the
Lord thy God: in it
thou shalt not do
any work.
48. For in six days the Lord made
heaven and earth, the sea, and all
that in them is, and rested the
seventh day: wherefore the Lord
blessed the sabbath day, and
hallowed it.
49. Thus the same seventh day sabbath -
founded, hallowed and blessed by God at
creation, is reinforced in His moral Law.
50. It is to be remembered and observed as
the memorial of the Creator's work.
51. The seventh-day Sabbath points to
God as the Maker of Heaven and the
earth. Thus it distinguishes the true
God from all false gods.
57. Turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from
doing thy pleasure on My holy day; and call
the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord,
honorable;
and honor Him, not doing thine own ways,
nor finding thine own pleasure.
61. He that hath My commandments,
and keepeth them, he it is that
loveth Me.
62. To those who love God it will
be the highest delight to keep
His Commandments and to do
those things that are pleasing
in His sight.
63. On the other hand, to those who in
reverence and adoration sanctify God’s
Sabbath it is a sign of His chosen people
and it is a pledge that He will fulfill to
them His covenant.
64. If ye love Me, keep My
commandments.
Love to God will be shown by
obedience to all His
commandments.
65. Christ is the Lord of the Sabbath.
Since He made all things, He made
the Sabbath.
66. It points to Him as both the
Creator and the One who
sanctifies us.
67. He who created all things in
Heaven and on earth, and by
whom all things hold together,
is the head of the church.
68. I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between
Me and them, that they might know that I Am
the Lord that sanctify them.
