GOD, THE

CREATOR
Theme Verse
“For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible,
whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through
him and for him.

He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from
among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.

For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him,

and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in
heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.”

Triune God in Creation
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the
earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the
deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 
And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw
that the light was good, and he separated the light from the
darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called
“night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first
day.

Genesis 1:1-4
Triune God in Creation
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him
all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been
made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. “

“14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We
have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came
from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

John 1:1-4, John 1:14

God in Creation

Our laws of nature and our

cosmos appear to be delicately
fine-tuned for life to emerge, in a
way that seems hard to attribute
to chance. (Landsman, 2016)

The precision of the universe

concludes that there is a creator.

Now listen, you who say, “Today or
13 
tomorrow we will go to this or that city,
spend a year there, carry on business and
make money.” 
Why, you do not even know what will
14 
happen tomorrow. What is your life? You
are a mist that appears for a little while and
then vanishes. 
Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the
15 
Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”
James 4:13-15
You are fearfully and
wonderfully made
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
