PRECEDENT BEING SET

In Numbers 8:17 God was setting a precedent throughout Israel, which was pointing to Jesus Christ as the first-born of every creature, the first fruit, the saviour of man and His church, which is the firstborn. Matthew 1:25; Hebrews 12:23; Romans 8:29; 1 Corinthians 15:20, 23.

In reference to Isaiah 43:7, 21. God dwelt in time indefinite and he was and is all joy, love, peace, temperance, justice, mercy, faith and such like. God did not need one created being to make him happy, it is because He is love that he brought what was in him through the process of creation.

If God had not created then He would of ceased to be God, then would he be self-centered, and self-ish because it is His nature to share His love. God the Father brought forth creation and shared himself through His Son Jesus Christ to redeem man.

No man can take the credit to creation as his doing, creation testifies to the power and majestic glory of God The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit formed man, created man to worship and show forth the character of God in the earth.

Created there is both the natural creation process to make man and the spiritual deliverance from sin unto perfect obedience to the law of God, which is the character of God, which is the seal of God. When man has the spiritual deliverance then the glory of God shall shine forth from him as the Holy Spirit of God works in the mind to enlighten the darkened understanding.
