The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters"
The following verses narrate the creation of things and men.
Note the statement here :"the Spirit of God was moving over the waters". The creation of things and men were the result!
Water & Spirit = The first creation
Now I would like to invite your attention to the second creation.That is narrated in the Gospel of John.
There JesusChrist declares " I tell you the truth , no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and Spirit ".
Again, the Water and Spirit !
The first creation is to the earthly kingdom. The second is to the heavenly kingdom!
When Jesus commanded to His disciples ,"therfore go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit", He was asking the disciples to co-operate with Him in this second creation of men to the heavenly kingdom.
As the darkness that was over the earth disappeared when God said "Let there be Light!", so , the sinful darkness that is in you and over you shall disappear , at the moment you accept this newcreation call to the heavenly kingdom!
My dear brothers and sisters , may the loving Lord bless you with His grace to submit to Him!
With much love,
Your brother Silvester.
