“For by Him all things were created in heaven and on
earth, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or
authorities; all things were created and exist through Him, that is, by His
activity and for Him. And He Himself
existed and is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
“His controlling, cohesive force of the universe. He is also the head and life-source and
leader of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the
dead, so that He Himself will occupy the first place – He will stand supreme
and be preeminent in everything.
“For it pleased the Father for all the fulness of deity –
the sum total of His essence, all His perfection, powers, attributes, to dwell
permanentl8y in Him, the Son, and through the intervention of the Son to
reconcile all things to Himself, making peace with believers through the blood
of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.”
Colossians 1:16-18
“To ‘create' means to make something out of nothing. Beginning with nothing, God brought into
being the universe by the word of His mouth.
When God said, ‘Let there be,’ things came into being … Since the Word
of God has proved itself in so many other ways, and since prophecy and archaeology
and science all prove that God’s Word is true, why not take God’s Word about
creation?[1]”
One benefit of studying the Bible and being aware of
science, archaeology and prophecy is that it provides many discoveries that
cement your own belief and dedication to the Lord. God created in a believable way that is
evident, beautiful, miraculous and consistent.
Take care with love, especially His, Darlene (who still
