The student today is faced with many dilemmas in that science proves that age of universe goes back billions of years and yet Christians today still for most part wrongly teach that Bible speaks of world being created in six days about 6000 years ago. This is simply not what Bible teaches even though it does tell us that Adam was made, formed and created about 6000 years ago. Let’s take a look at Genesis and see what Bible really teaches:

Genesis 1:1 In beginning God created heaven and earth.

Here in first chapter in first verse of Bible, God instructs us that He created heaven and earth but it does not tell us how long this took nor does it say that work was not completed. The word created is an interesting word, it is Hebrew word bara and it means to create or to now have something where there was nothing. So Bible instructs us that where before there was nothing now there is heaven and earth. Then God’s Word says:

Genesis 1:2 And earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon face of deep.

There are many things about Genesis chapter 1 that should have arrested our attention immediately. First is word was for in Hebrew there is no verb “to be” and importance of this can be shown if we turn to Isaiah 45:18.

Col. 2:6-10 "As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after tradition of men, after rudiments of world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all fulness of Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is head of all principality and power:"

"As you have therefore received Christ Jesus Lord"

In order to know and understand completeness first requirement is to receive Jesus. This is done by first a revealing of Jesus to us. In book of Isaiah. 40:3-5

"The voice in wilderness; prepare way of Lord; make straight in desert a highway for our Lord, Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; crooked places shall be made straight and rough place smooth; glory of Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; For mouth of Lord has spoken."

This scripture by prophet Isaiah was fulfilled when Jesus came to John Baptist. John was "voice in wilderness." This is an example of revealing of Jesus - To continue in first chapter of Gospel of John in verse twelve it says 'But as many as received Him, to them he gave right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name. The foundation that must be laid deals with our relationship to Jesus. Do you reject? Do you accept? It is God's desire that you accept Him. You must individually receive Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord then you can begin to know His perfect plan for our life.

"..so walk in Him."

Once you receive Jesus into your life it is important that you "walk" with Him. How can two walk together unless they agree with one another? A walk implies movement in a particular direction most likely with a particular purpose in mind. The path that Jesus laid when he went to cross, died, resurrected and ascended into heaven lead to Father in Heaven. If you keep your eyes on Jesus. Which can be accomplished though several means. These include Bible Reading, Fellowship, Praying, and Worship. You need to walk with Jesus. The scripture points out that Jesus is Word. A walk requires many steps to reach your destination. So is Christian walk made up of many steps. Every moment requires an action that will lead toward heaven.
