                        In the beginning God, The first four words of the Bible are

more than an introduction to the creation story to the book

of Genesis. They supply the key which opens our understanding

to the Bible as a whole. Therefore they tell us that the religion of the Bible

is a religion of the initiative.

                        You  can never take God by surprise. You can never anticipate

him. He always makes the first move. He is always there in the

beginning. Before man existed God acted. Before man stirs

himself to seek God, God has sought man. In addition, in the Bible we do not

see man groping after God we see God reaching after man.

                        Many people visualize a God who sits comfortably on a

distant throne remote aloof uninterested and indifferently to the

needs of mortal until it may be they can badger him into taking

action on their behalf. Such a view is wholly false. In addition, the Bible

reveals a God who long before it may even occurs to turn to him while man is still

 lost in darkness and  sunk in sins, takes the initiative rises from his throne lays inside his glory and stoops to

seek until be finds him.
