Creation

The doctrine of Creation refers to God’s act of making all matter, including this universe, out of nothing: as described in Genesis 1 and 2. Creation involved all three members of the Trinity (Deuteronomy 32:6, Malachi 2:10, Genesis 1:2, Psalm 104:30, John 1:1-3, Colossians 1:16) and everything they made was declared to be ‘very good’ (Genesis 1:31). Revelation 4:11 tells us that God is worthy of praise for His creation, and Romans 1:20 says that it is plain to humans when we look at the creation around us that God exists and is immeasurably powerful. From this, we can see that all of God’s creation should glorify Him and that when humans choose to worship other things they are not acting in line with the purpose of existence – to glorify God.
