Genesis 1:1

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

Here in these opening words, we find the truth on which all of Scripture rests. There is a God, and all things that exist; the stars, the earth, you and I; exist because He created them- on purpose and with purpose. Even time is in His hands. From these words to the closing of scripture, where God completes the salvation of His people and the restoration of His creation, God’s role as creator is evident throughout.

All of the earth is the Lord’s (Psalm 24:1), and creation itself testifies to God’s eternal power and divine nature (Romans 1:20). It is by this divine power that He holds all things together, even you and me; for in Him we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:28). As His handiwork, He created us in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:10), and in His continued care, He keeps us and sustains us.
