神看着是好的——造物之美

“神看着是好的。神说,我们要照着我们的形像,按着我们的样式造人…。” - 创 1:25-26

想像一下,一个艺术家日复一日地在一个雕塑上努力工作。通常她会退后一步看她的作品,如果她对作品的外观不满意,就会继续工作。当她为自己完成的作品感到高兴和自豪时,她会说这个作品很好。她会带着满意和喜悦的心情去看它。

《创世记》第1章谈到神创造天地,它是通过描述一个六天的模式来实现的。在这个过程中,我们多次读到:“神看着是好的”。神对祂所创造的事物感到喜悦和满足。神看这个世界是好的,美丽的。

神创造的世界是美好的:光、天空、大地、太阳、鱼、动物。神称所有这些东西为“好”。而神创造人类时,祂是按照自己的形像造了他们。男人和女人都是按照神的形像被造的,他们像自己的创造主一样是美的。

如果你被引诱怀疑自己作为一个人的价值,请记住,宇宙的创造主是按照自己的形像造你的。请记得:神正端详着包括你在内的美好受造,称赞它又“好”又美丽。

祷告

造物主上帝,感谢你创造了一个美好的世界,并按着你自己的形像造了我们。求你帮助我们认识你在别人和我们自己身上的美好形像。阿们。

创世记 1:24-27

24神说:“地要生出活物来,各从其类;牲畜、昆虫、野兽,各从其类。”事就这样成了。
25于是神造出野兽,各从其类;牲畜,各从其类;地上一切昆虫,各从其类。神看着是好的。
26神说:“我们要照着我们的形象,按着我们的样式造人,使他们管理海里的鱼、空中的鸟、地上的牲畜和全地,并地上所爬的一切昆虫。”
27神就照着自己的形象造人,乃是照着他的形象,造男造女。

It Was Good

"God saw that it was good. Then God said, 'Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness. . . .'" - Genesis 1:25-26

英语音频 English Audio

Imagine an artist who works hard at a sculpture day after day. Often she'll stand back to look at her work, and if she's not satisfied with how it looks, she'll keep working on the sculpture. When she's happy and proud of what she's completed, she'll say that the work is good. She'll look on it with satisfaction and joy.

When Genesis 1 speaks of God creating the heavens and the earth, it does so by describing a pattern of six days. And several times in the process we read, "God saw that it was good." God took joy and satisfaction in the things he created. God saw that the world was good and beautiful.

God made the world to be beautiful: the light, the sky, the land, the sun, the fish, the animals. God called all of these things "good." And when God created human beings, God created them in his own image. Men and women are all created in the image of God, beautiful like their creator.

If you are ever tempted to doubt your own worth as a person, remember that the creator of the universe made you in his own image. Remember that God looks on his beautiful creation, including you, and calls you "good" and beautiful.

Prayer

Creator God, thank you for making a good world and for making us in your own image. Help us to recognize your beautiful image in others and in ourselves. Amen.
