Genesis 1:9 THEN GOD SAID, ” Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let dry land appear;” and it was so.
Genesis 1:11 THEN GOD SAID, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself on the earth;” and it was so.
Genesis 1:14-15 THEN GOD SAID, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth;” and it was so.
Genesis 1:20 THEN GOD SAID, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly over the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.”
Genesis 1:26-27 THEN GOD SAID, “Let US make man in OUR image, according to OUR likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Again, HOW IMPORTANT ARE WORDS?
Proverbs 10:19-21 In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise. The tongue of the righteous is choice silver; The heart of the wicked is worth little. The lips of the righteous feed many. But fools die for lack of wisdom.
Again, HOW IMPORTANT ARE WORDS?
James 3:8-10 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of poison. With it we bless God our Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.
Romans 12:14 Bless those who persecute you; Bless and do not curse.
Romans 12:21 Do not be overcome with evil, but overcome evil with good.
From Genesis to Revelation Words matter, Words are important!
Revelation 22:18-19 For I testify to every one who hears the Words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the Words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are Written in this book.
Psalm 141:3-4 Set a guard, O Lord over my mouth; keep watch over the door to my lips. Do not incline my heart to any evil thing to practice wicked works with men who work iniquity; and do not let me eat of their delicacies.
