Genesis 1:1 - Created out of nothing

Scripture:

Genesis 1:1
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
NASU


Thoughts:

Such a simple, but profound statement of reality.  God, who is without beginning, created all that has a beginning, even time itself.  Indeed, the word "universe" which we use to speak of all that we know in the physical realm, ironically makes us think of this "one verse" which explains where everything came from, though this does not appear to be the intent or origin of the word, itself.

Evolutionists today seek to refute this foundational verse.  They would rather us believe that the universe has somehow always existed, and that rather than God creating man, man created God to explain the unanswerable questions of life.  But science and logic show us that the universe cannot have existed eternally, nor could it have created itself.  An honest examination of the data will lead to the conclusion of what is known as "ex nihilo" or "out of nothing" creation; that the universe had a beginning and that beginning appears where before there was no physical matter or energy.  Further, there must have logically been some Agent who caused this event to happen.  In short, it leads us back to Genesis 1:1.


Prayer:

God, I just want to worship You in my prayer.  You are the amazing, living, all powerful God!  I'm so glad to know You because of what Christ did for me.

Amen
