Creation: How Did It Begin?

God Created
Genesis 1:1-2

Read the Bible through:
AM - Psalm 31-36 : PM - Acts 22

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth (Gen. 1:1)

We hear many views concerning the origin of the universe. An important principle to recognize is that no contradiction exists between truth of Scripture and truth of science. A basis for accepting the biblical view of creation is the belief that "All scripture is given by inspiration of God" (2 Tim. 3:16). From inspired scripture we know God created everything. God was before time or space, which He created. He is the one eternal God, without beginning or end.

The majestic beauty and distinct design and order of creation reveal the power and sovereignty of God. Jesus is Lord of creation. John 1:1, 3 states; "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made by Him." Genesis 1:2 tells, "The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." God is Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and is the One who sends the Spirit to help us.

Thank You, Lord, for all You have made and for continuing to be involved in a meaningful way with Your creation.
