I         The Acts of God’s Grace at the Beginning of the First Dispensation

1)      God in grace created the heaven and the earth Genesis 1:1

All that is in creation proves that God is

Psalm 19:1-7 the heavens declare

Romans 1:18-20 all know by creation

Hebrews 11:6 he who comes to God must believe that He is

2)      God in grace prepared the earth for man

Genesis 1:3-31 notice the things necessary for man’s existence on this earth: light, day and night, dry land, grass, fruit trees, sun and moon, abundance of life in the waters, animals for food

Psalm 115:16 He has given the earth to man to use

Revelation 11:18 He will destroy those which destroy the earth

But all belongs to God, thus all is on loan to man

Psalm 24:1

1 Corinthians 10:26,28

Psalm 50:12

Psalm 89:11

3)      God in grace creates the first man, forming his body from the dust of earth

Genesis 2:7

Genesis 3:19

Deuteronomy 4:32

Psalm 33:13-15

Isaiah 45:12

Every cemetery testifies that what God said about man’s body is true.  Do we dare question what He has said about man’s soul?

4)      God in grace prepared a garden for man to keep Genesis 2:8

Man was placed in a perfect environment; therefore, God has proven that man is not kept from evil by good environment

5)      God in grace creates a woman for the man

Genesis 2:21-25

1 Corinthians 11:8-9

Matthew 19:4

1 Timothy 2:13

II      There is no place or grounds for evolution in all this

1 Corinthians 15:39 all flesh is not the same flesh, true or false?  If you were given a piece of fish to eat, it was taken away and you were given a piece of chicken, could you tell the difference?
