We serve a God of beginnings, not ends! He is at the beginning of everything good...
The beginning of all life (creation):
And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. (Genesis 1:24)
The beginning of our physical life (in the womb):
You guided my conception
and formed me in the womb.
You clothed me with skin and flesh,
and you knit my bones and sinews together. (Job 10:10-11)
He is at the beginning of our spiritual life (our walk of faith):
Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2: 38b)
And of course, He is at the beginning of our eternal life:
“See, I will create
new heavens and a new earth.
The former things will not be remembered,
nor will they come to mind.
But be glad and rejoice forever
in what I will create” (Isaiah 65:17-18a)
Yes, our fleshly bodies will come to an end - but God is concerned with beginning your eternal life in the Spirit. This earth we live on will come to an end, but God is bringing the new earth!
Our God is about beginnings, not ends. Isn’t it time you begin your new life with Him?
