Recap ie; Part 1
Life in God's creation: (dwelling places)
"Home Sweet Home"
Temple (the home of the Holy Spirit)
John 3:3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is [born again] he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
(Ezekiel 36:27 He puts His Spirit in you)
Acts 17:24 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, [does not live in temples made by man.]
1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Do you not know that you are [God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?] If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For [God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.]

A Missionaries Mission (Mission Possible):
Matthew 19:27 Then Peter said in reply, [“See, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?”]
Our citizenship is in heaven (We are not of this world):
Philippians 3:20 But [our citizenship is in heaven,] and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 13:14 For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come

The History of Creation:
Genesis 1:26-27
Then God said, [“Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.]
And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
So [God created man] in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
“Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.
God created man."
We (created beings), did not become existing beings from out of thin air or evolve from primates (breast of the earth).
God is our creator:
Genesis 2:19; Psalm 19:1; 33:6, 9; Ecclesiastes 3:11; John 1:3
Colossians 1:16
For [by him] all things were created,
in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—[all things were created through him and for him.]
Romans 1:20
For his invisible attributes,
namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived,
ever since the creation of the world,
in the things that have been made.
--->So they are without excuse.
You with the vision, and hearing you have (even the deaf and the blind 'NOT just spiritually deaf and blind' but physically also), are able to behold such beauty that surrounds you.
God is Spirit, and I believe God is everything He's created.
When you're "born again" you're given eyes of grace, and you are able to offer up thanks, praise and worship to God. You are able to confess and believe who the author of creation is.
Without this knowledge, you are unable to appreciate God in all of His Glory.

Life in the Garden:
Genesis 2:10 [A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden,] and there it divided and became [four rivers.]
God's covenant with creation:
Genesis 9:3 [Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you.] And as I gave you [the green plants,] I give you everything.
