Think You Know a Little Theology?
Then Complete the Following Assignment:
List everything that God has ever done in the past, plus everything He is now doing at the present, and, finally, all He will do in the future!
Give up? Impossible you say? Not really. In fact, not at all, for a well-informed Bible student could ace the test in about 30 seconds or less, depending on how fast he or she could write down two words:
C-R-E-A-T-I-O-N and R-E-D-E-M-P-T-I-O-N!
That’s right, this covers it all, past, present, and future. In fact, God Himself has provided several reminders for us regarding these two all important works. For example:
● There are nine sacred feasts in the book of Leviticus. Three of these celebrate creation and the remaining six speak of redemption.
● In the book of Revelation we hear two great hymns of praise coming from heaven. The first (Rev. 4) is the song thanking and praising God for His creative work, and the second (Rev. 5) for His redemptive work.
● Finally, consider the seven weekly days: Saturday is set aside commemorating His finished creation, and Sunday reminds us of His completed redemption!
And the bottom line? He wants you today to thank Him for creating you in His own image, and in the fullness of time redeeming you by the blood of His Son!
