Creation is an important topic in the Bible. Unfortunately, however, when most people think about creation, they think only in terms of the so-called creation story.<\/a>\u00a0This thinking is a big mistake that denies the opportunity to apply the creation theme to training in personal righteousness.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

When we understand topic of creation correctly, we see that it bookends the entire Bible beginning with the creation of heaven and earth<\/a>, and ending with the creation of a new heaven, a new earth.<\/a>\u00a0And, in between, whether we realize it or not, every story is about creation which more correctly should be interpreted as “re-creation”. It is all about the creation\/re-creation of a new heart.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Coming to a right understanding of creation depends on how scriptures are interpreted. To understand the symbolic meanings of stories of creation, we must learn how to hear God’s spoken voice<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Listening to God’s spoken voice first means that we interpret scriptures symbolically — not literally.<\/span><\/p>\n
