Now, let’s look at the foundation of the Creation-Flood account.
- The Foundation is the person of Jesus Christ. [We build on Christ, not the concept of Christ. We can’t lay any other foundation than Jesus Christ.]
- Christ leads, teaches, and corrects everyone who follows Him. He’s with us every moment in every part of our lives. Jesus says, “My sheep hear My voice,” and “Whoever is on the side of truth listens to Me.” The Holy Spirit is calling us to listen to Him.
- Faith comes by hearing. “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.” Faith gives access to God’s grace, and God’s grace does His righteousness through us.
- Righteousness demolishes the carnal mind and forms Christ in us, which is holiness. Through righteousness, God progressively sets us free from sinful human nature, and this freedom is redemption. As we yield the members of our bodies to God’s righteousness, we gain more discernment. We can tell true revelation from make-believe because the Holy Spirit renews our minds. “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” It’s not the works that transform us, but it’s the Holy Spirit Who transfigures us as we see God’s glory and yield our spirits, minds, and bodies to the Holy Spirit.
- Therefore, we have an ever-more-clear revelation. By revelation, we see the Bible is God’s word. We see the history in the Bible is accurate. We see God’s creation confirming the Bible and glorifying God. We don’t go beyond what’s written or beyond what we’ve observed. We don’t add any assumptions. We only know what God has revealed, and we stick to this revelation.
- From this Foundation, we seek God, so we know how to interpret what we observe in all the sciences. We don’t go beyond the observations or what God reveals about the Creation and Flood events.
