and it was so

by David Long

"and it was so" is some six times in Genesis chapter one. "And it was so" was result of "And God said." God said and it was so. What happened when God said? Whatever God said happened. The power of the word of God. That power is found not only in the spoken word of God but also in the written word of God (Rom. 1:16). The written word has the power to save our souls (James 1:21). What happens when a person obeys the gospel? Exactly what God said will happen. What happens when one will not obey the gospel? Exactly what God said will happen (2 Thess. 1:7-9). It will be so!
