In Genesis 22 of the Bible, we are told of Abraham taking his son Issac up the mountain for a sacrifice for God. This passage gives many people issues for obvious reasons but many miss the bigger takeaways. A burdened father, offering his son in place of a sacrificial lamb. A son carrying the wood for the sacrifice up the mountain. God stepping in to provide a lamb as the sacrifice, thus "saving" Issac. This story represents a tremendous typology from Old Testament to New Testament in Christianity. On the same mountain, Jesus would carry a wooden cross up a mountain to be a sacrificial lamb, as part of God the Father's plan for salvation.

The Biblical account of the flood from the book of Genesis is one of the most famous stories from the Bible. Noah's Ark is often a popular children story all across Church's Sunday school. But in reality, it's a story of an ultimate "redo" due to humanity's failures. After the cleansing, God promised to never again use a flood of that magnitude, symboled by a rainbow.

God's creation is truly remarkable and awe-inspiring. In this rendition of the biblical Creation account from Genesis, we emphasize the incredible beauty and marvels of creation. "In the beginning God..." Genesis 1:1

In Matthew 7, Jesus warns of false prophets, who are described as wolves in sheep's clothing. They appear to be good, kind and loving, and dwell among the sheep. But within they are "ravenous." They look to destroy and take advantage of the other sheep. #biblemotivation #christianinspiration #bible #jesuschrist #jesusmessage #biblemotivation “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves." - Matt 7:15

The Bible’s Psalm 8 is a phenomenal work of David taking time to praise God by admiring Him and all of His awe-inspiring creation all while putting man in perspective. If you want to know and appreciate God, then study His creation and be ready to be marveled. #bible #christianmotivation #jesus “O LORD, O Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth!” Psalm 8:1

In Matthew 6, Jesus taught the importance of carefully considering one's motive when doing your deeds. Is it really for God or is it for praise of man? Putting God first is a great way to find balance and peace in one's life. #biblemotivation #christianmotivation #christianinspiration
