Christ In The Old Testament

Genesis 1:4: And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.” God “divided the light from the darkness.”

As soon as Christ the light of world (John 8:12) begins to glow in the heart of a new believer, He begins an inner dividing work, separating the clean from the unclean, spiritual things from carnal things. This naturally leads to an outer division among people.

In fact, Jesus said, “Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:” (Luke 12:51)

John 7:43 says, So there was a division among the people because of him.”

As it was in the very beginning, division follows when true light appears. Rather than be disturbed by it and oppose it, wise Christians will understand this to be the natural course of things and accept it.

Yes, some division is of God.

Christ In The Old Testament

Genesis 1:1 – “ In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”

Christ is the Creator Who created the heaven and the earth, according to:

John 1:1-3, 14“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  The same was in the beginning with God.  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”

Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:”

Hebrews 1:2 “Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;”
