Genesis 1 - Spiritual Application
GenesisSteve Gregg
In this spiritual interpretation of Genesis 1, Steve Gregg proposes that the creation story has a dual purpose: to describe historical events and to depict heavenly realities. Quoting from both Old and New Testaments, Gregg points out that the original creation was made without resistance, unlike the new creation of believers which meets with obstacles and requires intentional growth. The speaker suggests that the goal of the Christian life is to become more like Christ, with the Holy Spirit playing an important role in this maturing process.
