1. " Am I fulfilling the purpose for which Elohim created me?  Does the way I live give a proper opinion of the majesty and power of my Elohim?"

2. Have I accepted the fact that Elohim is my Creator and that He did not make a mistake in the way He created me?

Memorize Isaiah 50:10

Pg. 14 Questions
1.  Elohim identifies God as Creator.  From your study, why do you think it is important to know Him as Creator?

So we can know our purpose and plan for our life. Created for God's glory.  guarding the name of our Father.

2.  What did God create?

Us and all things.   Genesis 1:26 made man to reflect the creator.

If we are a chosen by God, we will grow.  We don't have to do anything.  Example of an acorn...  When  an acorn drops and falls to the ground.  You don't have to do anything and it will grow in to a tree.  For many many years, it'll grow.  It may become sick, if not tended to ..  It doesn't make it not a tree, anymore.  Just a sick tree...

4. What role has God had in your role? 

We are not an accident.  pg 13 " You have seen that you have been created for His glory, for His pleasure.  Your life is to be lived in such a way as to reflect mercy , His gentleness.  You are to live for Him, to accomplish His will.  To miss this purpose is to miss fulfillment.  It is to have existed rather than to have lived.

5.  What is your responsibility to Him as a Creator?  How are you fulfilling that responsibility?

To give glory!  pg12 " to give the correct opinion or estimate of."  "to live in such a way as to give all of creation a correct opinion or estimate of who God is."

6.  How have the insights into God as Elohim helped to clear up your thinking regarding children born with Down syndrome or those born without a limb etc..

It is was in order that the works of God might be displayed in them.   example: Fanny Crosby

- genesis 1 shows God the CREATOR of all things then we zoom on man who was made in God's image showing that God is JEHOVAH- covenant-making God.


God is a covenant keeping God.  God enters into a covenant with us, and God’s covenant with us is that, “I will be your God, and you will be my people, and I’ll never leave you nor forsake you.”
