Chapter 10
The Creator
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (Gen. 1:1) Although there are many who reject a divine Creator of the universe, the Scripture is very clear it is God who has made all things by His spoken Word. (Gen. 1:1-31) The Bible declares that God created the heavens and the Earth.
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. (John 1:1-3)
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14)
These verses attest to the fact that Jesus Christ is the Word of God. They prove that Jesus, the Word, is God. They also prove that Jesus made everything that has come into existence.
He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. (Col. 1:13-18)
