God Creates Out of Nothing
By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. Hebrews 11.3
Human beings have the instinctive ability to be creative. You create by replicating the example set by the Creator. The difference is that you create out of something; He creates out of nothing. You are subject to the properties of your medium, while He spoke into existence the method, system, and structure by which all things exist.
Accepting that God created all things out of nothing leads to three conclusions:
- First, it means that He is separate from the created universe. All things are from Him.
- Second, it means that all things are defined fully by Him. All things are through Him.
- Third, it means that all things point to the creator. All things are to Him.
All of the things that you can see are created. This means that your truth is defined by temporary hings that contain just a small part of God’s fullness in them. We often take our short life, narrow view, and small scope to characterize (and sometimes judge) the world that God made. You must not allow your limited experiences and knowledge to define the Creator. God’s creation exists to reveal His goodness and to bring Him glory. This includes you.
For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen. Romans 11.36
