God Is The Creator
Both the Old and New Testaments recognize God as the Creator.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1: 1) .
Isaiah wrote.
This is what the LORD says: ‘Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting place be? Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being? ‘ declares the LORD (Isaiah 66: 1,2) .
John declared.
All things were made by him, and without him nothing was made that was made (John 1: 3) .
Paul testified.
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 (Colossians 1: 16) .
The writer to the Hebrews said.
By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible (Hebrews 11: 3) .
The United Testimony Of Scripture Has God As Creator
The first chapter of Genesis makes about seventeen references to God as the Creator. The remainder of Scripture speaks of the creative works of God approximately fifty times. It is clear that the Bible teaches that God is the Creator of the universe. Scripture also teaches that God created humankind.
So God created humankind in his own image; in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them (Genesis 1: 27) .
There Was A Series Of Creative Acts Of God
The Bible says that the universe was brought into existence by means of a series of creative acts by an all-powerful, loving God. These acts were freely done of His own accord – there was nothing forcing Him to create the universe.
The Scriptures clearly teach that God is the Creator of all things.
The concept of creation is not an obscure doctrine in the Scriptures.
There are at least one hundred references in the Bible referring to God’s creative activity.
It is the first doctrine to be stated:
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1: 1) .
Creation is also one of the last to be restated:
You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for you created all things, and by your will they exist and were created (Revelation 4: 11) .
