Today's Devotion:

365 Daily Devotions: Seminary Edition


💁🏻 Concept: Gap Theory
The Gap Theory teaches that there’s a time gap between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2, possibly millions of years. Some believe this explains the age of the earth or a previous creation judged by God. However, the Bible doesn’t clearly teach this theory. Many faithful Christians believe the creation account is continuous and complete from verse 1 onward.


📖 Bible Readings: Genesis 1:1-2
(Exodus 20:11; Isaiah 45:18; Psalm 33:6-9; John 1:3; Romans 5:12; 1 Corinthians 15:21-22)


👨🏻‍💻 Teachings:
1. The Gap Theory eisegetes theory into the Bible.
2. The Bible must be used as basis of science.
3. The Bible teaches a six-day creation and reveals the origin of sin and death.


💪🏼 Applications:
1. Understand God’s hierarchy of revelations.
2. Consider the Bible as our supreme authority.
3. Form a habit of reading the Bible exegetically.


🎙Discussion:
What is exegesis, and why is it important to develop a habit of reading the Bible exegetically?


🙏🏼 Prayer:
Creator God, thank You for Your Word that speaks truth across generations. When I am tempted to follow human reasoning over divine revelation, remind me that You are wise beyond all understanding. Help me to read Scripture with faith, not just curiosity. May I never place human ideas above Your Word. Teach me to worship You as the God of creation, order, and beauty. Let Your Word be my anchor as I navigate a world filled with different ideas. Strengthen my confidence in You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
