Elohim – Father God/Creator

Names of God

“In the beginning God (Elohim) created the heavens and the earth.” (Gen. 1:1)

Looking at the many Names of God, (continued)

Throughout the Bible, God has many names and titles. Each one tells us something important about Him—His character and how He relates to us. Here is another one of His many Names, which is Elohim.  

Elohim – The Creator

Elohim is the name by which God is introduced in the very first verse of the Bible. “In the beginning, God (Elohim) created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). He is the Creator God who by His awesome power spoke the world into being. He is the infinite, all-powerful God who is the creator, sustainer, and supreme judge of the world.

Elohim blessed them with what He created for them (and for you today) and told them what to do with it

“God (Elohim) blessed them and said, “Be fertile, increase in number, fill the earth, and be its master. Rule the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that crawl on the earth.” God (Elohim) said, “I have given you every plant with seeds on the face of the earth and every tree that has fruit with seeds. This will be your food. I have given all green plants as food to every land animal, every bird in the sky, and every animal that crawls on the earth—every living, breathing animal.” And so it was.” (Gen. 1:29:30)

Therefore

“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” (Eph. 2:10 NLT)

Remember to thank Him for His kindness and to be a good steward with what He has put in your hands to use for Him.
