In Genesis 1, we meet the true and living God who speaks creation into being, breathes life into humanity, and invites us into relationship with Him.

Christians can have a strange relationship with good things.We rightly reject the prosperity gospel’s promise that following Jesus guarantees health, wealth, comfort, and an easy life. Scripture never makes such a promise. In fact, Jesus tells us to expect suffering, and James tells us to “consider it pure joy” when we face trials because God uses them to produce perseverance and maturity (James 1:2–4).But in our attempt to reject a false gospel, we can accidentally become suspicious of genuine
