God Rested Because He Was Well-Pleased with His Goodness
Welcome back to the Gracelifecomi Podcast, where we explore the profound truths of scripture and their application to our lives. In this episode of our Sabbath series, we look into the remarkable declaration that "God rested because He was well-pleased with His goodness."
Join us as we unravel the narrative of creation, highlighting how the first act of creation was a magnificent display of God’s inherent goodness. We examine the rich tapestry of God's work throughout Genesis, discovering the significance of His daily declarations of goodness—captured in Genesis 1:4, 10, 12, 18, 21, and 25. Every element of creation serves as a physical manifestation of His character, revealing the depth of His goodness to humanity.
In this episode, we explore the concept of divine rest, which signifies that God has completed His task of enveloping mankind with His goodness. We reflect on how God's rest is the culmination of His fulfillment—He was delighted with the quality, taste, and standard of His creation. And just as God rested after achieving His goodness, we, too, are called not to rest until we bring forth the goodness within ourselves.
We'll also discuss the symbolic representation of God's goodness as a pointer toward the perfection found in the New Creation. Ephesians 1:6 reminds us that we are accepted in the beloved, and we reflect on how the goodness we see in the first creation aligns with the divine perfection available to us through Christ.
Through scripture, we explore the dual lenses of nature and the Word to witness God's goodness and perfection. By holding steadfastly to Jesus in the Word, we tap into our divine nature and experience genuine rest—a notion that encapsulates true fulfillment.
This episode highlights that the essence of Sabbath is not merely about a day of rest but about embodying goodness, acceptability, and perfection as the New Creation. As we strive to align our lives with God’s goodness and pursue excellence in our assignments, we ultimately find our rest and purpose in Him.
Tune in for an enlightening teaching session that empowers you to see the goodness of God in your life, challenges you to pursue perfection, and invites you to experience lasting rest on every side.
