What is God?
God is the Creator of everyone and everything
In the Beginning the Uncreated God Created
What Did God Create? All Things
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. —Genesis 1:1
God Created from Nothing
It Was Good
How Did God Create? By His Word
By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible. —Hebrews 11:3
Why did God make you and all things?
Our Lord and God,
you are worthy to receive
glory and honor and power,
because you have created all things,
and by your will
they exist and were created.—Revelation 4:11
“Why would such an infinitely good, perfect and eternal being create? The ultimate reason that God creates, is not to remedy some lack in Himself, but to extend that perfect internal communication of the triune God’s goodness and love…The universe is an explosion of God’s glory. Perfect goodness, beauty, and love radiate from God and draw creatures to ever increasingly share in the Godhead’s joy and delight. The ultimate end of creation then is union in love between God and loving creatures.”—Jonathon Edwards
This should move us to worship Christ more seriously.
