The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Genesis 1:1-5, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

2 And the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface

of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the
waters.

3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.

4 And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from

the darkness.

5 And God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there

was evening and there was morning, one day.”

These opening verses speak to us of the commencement of life. When

“In the beginning” was uttered in Scripture, it initiated life -the life of
everything! As we look into the far reaches of the heavens, we know that the
LORD has put them there. All that we have is from Him, and all that is from
Him is absolute perfection.

“Then God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” These words-His
Words-are the first to be recorded in Scripture. And without His words, His
works would not be visible. It is He who is the Light, and it is His Light
that gives meaning to His Words and purpose.

The Light He called “day”; the darkness, “night.” If we understand His
words, we are able to understand His works and purpose. He made us to live
in His universe, and to love Him as He first loved us.

Ultimately, sin endeavored to besmirch and topple the LORD’s words and
works. Satan, chief of the fallen, rebellious angels, invaded human life and
works feverously to undo all that the LORD has accomplished.

Especially, Satan wants the LORD’s creation to rebel against Him and
enthrone Satan in their lives.

Jesus is God’s Son, the One whom the Father surrendered to the Cross to
redeem lost humanity. If you have confessed your sins to Jesus and are
trusting Him to have forgiven you your sins, He is your Savior – the One
with Whom you will spend eternity in Heaven. If you have yet to confess your
sins to Christ and trust Him as your LORD and Savior, it is vital that you
do it quickly! Time is rapidly running out!

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
