If There Were Watching God Chapter Analysis

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness,” (‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:1-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬).

This quote is important because it illustrates the power of God right in the beginning of the book. Once God decides on something and says it, the action happens.

She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate,” (Genesis 3: 4-6 NKJV). This quote is important because it demonstrates what the influence of the devil can do.

This scene sets up the many other stories in the rest of the Bible which explains other people falling under the temptation of the serpent, or devil, and the distress they suffer from.

Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?”" ‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭7:7-9‬

These verses carry an important request for the Lord’s followers to seek help through Him throughout all struggles to find blessing in their favor, further proving the extent to God's power. It asserts the foundation of a Christian life by emphasizing the importance of prayer as it states the words: ask, seek and knock. Prayer is an important part of a Christian’s life because it allows that person to connect with God and speak to Him.

4) “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit,”" (Matthew‬ ‭1:18-20‬
