Episode notes
Yahweh Precedes Creation In Moses’ Perspective
- God’s name I AM (Yahweh) precedes creation and reveals his eternal lordship.
- Sinclair Ferguson explains Moses wrote Genesis after the Exodus, so the Redeemer's name frames how Moses understands the Creator.
Redemption Restores Original Human Purpose
- The same God who created also redeems, so redemption restores humans to their original created purpose.
- Ferguson emphasizes redemption as restoration of true humanity against modern humanism's confusion.
Creation Portrayed As Trinitarian Work
- Genesis 1 presents creation as the work of the Trinity: Father speaks, Son (the Word) creates, Spirit orders.
- Ferguson cites opera ad extra to stress God's external works are indivisible and Trinitarian.
