Summary
The speaker emphasizes that God speaks to us daily, citing Genesis 1 as evidence that God spoke each day of creation. He draws a key distinction between humans and animals: God breathed into Adam, giving humanity a conscience. This conscience is vital because it alerts us to wrong actions, making it the most important part of ourselves to safeguard. To keep this conscience clean, one must confess sins to the Lord through Jesus Christ and then live with sensitivity, immediately confessing wrongs to others.

What Genesis chapter 1 teaches usLooking at the very first chapter of Genesis, we see a recurring phrase where God speaks on each day of creation.
Listening to God dailyJust like a broken headphone wire prevents us from hearing sound, many Christians fail to hear God daily because their connection is hindered, even though God speaks every single day.
Starting the day with prayerWe should pray first thing in the morning, asking the Holy Spirit to let us hear what God is saying to us today.
The order of creationGod created the earth and plants in four days, sea creatures and birds on the fifth day, and divided the sixth day between creating animals and creating man and woman.
Man and animals made from dustWhile both human and animal bodies are made from the exact same dust of the earth and disintegrate when they die, there is one massive difference between them.
God breathed into AdamWhen God breathed into Adam, man became a living soul with a conscience, something no animal possesses.Genesis 2:7
What makes humans different from animalsAnimals can do millions of wrong things without feeling convicted, but God gave humans a conscience from childhood that warns us when we do something wrong.
Preserving our conscienceOur conscience is the most important part of us and tells us when we sin, which is why even little children try to hide wrong actions.
Cleaning our conscience through ChristThough we have all spoiled our conscience, we can clean it up by asking Jesus Christ to cleanse our sin through His sacrifice on the cross.
Keeping a sensitive conscienceOnce our conscience is clean, we must be sensitive not to lie, speak evil, hurt others, get angry, or steal, and we must immediately confess and make things right if we fail.
