The first image of God I have chosen to discuss is the common image of God from the Old Testament as God the creator. My first quote to support that image is from Genesis 1:1-2, " In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was empty, a formless mass cloaked in darkness. And the Spirit of God was hovering over its surface." This is an obvious quote demonstrating that God is the creator of all. My second quote is from Genesis 5:1-2, "This is the history of the descendants of Adam. When God created people, he made them in the likeness of God. He created them male and female and he blessed them and called them 'human'." This is a quote referring to God as the creator, but this time as the creator of man. My last quote on this image is from Psalm 33:6, "The Lord merely spoke, and the heavens were created. He breathed the word, and all the stars were born." This last quote reinstates God as creator in that he spoke and all was cre

My third image of God goes along with the previous, yet is more in depth. It is the image of God as a miracle worker through Jesus Christ. The first quote to prove this image comes to us from Mark 8:5-9, "'How many loaves of bread do you have?' he asked. 'Seven,' they replied. So Jesus told all of the people to sit. Then he took the seven loaves, thanked God for them, broke them into pieces, and gave them to his disciples, who distributed the bread. A few small fish were found, too, so Jesus blessed these and told the disciples to pass them out. They ate until they were full and put the scraps into seven large baskets. There were about four thousand people in the crowd, and he sent them home after they had eaten." This is one of the greatest miracles God performs through Jesus. He feeds a hungry crowd of four thousand with barley any food. This miracle is practically unexplainable. This is a very important miracle because these people were all hungry and God made it possible for them all to fed. My second quote is from Matthew 9:2-8, "Some people brought to him a paralyzed man. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, 'Take heart, son! Your sins are forgiven.' 'Blasphemy! This man talks like he is God!' some of the teachers said among themselves. Jesus knew what they were thinking so he said, 'Why are you thinking such evil thoughts? Is it easier to say your sins are forgiven or get up and walk? I will prove that I, the Son of Man, have the authority to forgive sins on earth.' Then Jesus told the paralyzed man to get up and go home for he is healed. And the man jumped up and went home." This is a very powerful miracle about the healing of a paralyzed man. God gave Jesus the power to heal and to forgive sins. When the people didn't believe that he could forgive sins he proved them wrong by healing the man and performing a miracle. My third quote is from Matthew 9:28-30, "They went right into the house where he was staying and Jesus asked them, 'Do you believe I can make you see?' They replied that they did. Then he touched their eyes and said, 'Because of you faith, it will happen.' And suddenly they could see! Jesus sternly warned them, 'Don't tell anyone about this.'" This is also a powerful miracle because it is a healing miracle. God gave Jesus the power to heal and help people. My final quote is from
