The Creator God (Ge1:1; Jn1:1-3)

God is the Creator.
By His word He created all things and sustains all things (He1:3, 11:3), and
By His word He will burn up all things (2Pe3:7).

Faith is believing that God is the Creator (He11:3) and
The life of this faith is submitting to His word, looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth
believing in God’s promises, and giving Him glory (Rm4:17-20; 2Pe3:7-11).

While many religions accept creationism as the explanation for the beginning of life and the universe,
Hinduism believes in eternal cycles of universes being created and destroyed, that is, reincarnation.

The big bang theory proposes that the universe started with
An infinitely hot and dense single point that inflated and stretched at incredible speeds.
The theory of evolution posits that over a long period of time,
Through an undirected process by natural selection,
Life evolved from a single cell organism to the complex ones of today.
While it claims fossils records as its evidence,
Among the discovered 350 million records around the world (of 250,000 species),
There is none that displays “transitional” forms.
As such, evolution is not science but another religion that demands faith.

The churches that have adopted either theistic evolution (or “evolutionary creation”) that says that
The Creator gave evolutionary power to bacterial life to evolve to the diverse lifeforms today,
Or the progressive creation theory, which says God repeatedly created and destroyed
Over millions of years and finally breathed the breath of life into apes to make living beings,
Have declined drastically around the world.

The Bible clearly testifies about the Creator God.
By His word He brought out the starry host and by His word sustains them (Is40:26; He1:3),
Evidenced by the celestial bodies moving in their orbits and keeping mutual distance by gravity.
Yet the most difficult puzzle for evolution and the most powerful evidence for creation is the DNA:
The genetic code of a cell that demonstrates the perfect blueprint of the perfect Designer.
Abraham believed in the promise of God who calls into beings that were not and
Gave birth to a son at the age of 100, becoming the heir of faith (Rm4:17-20).
His descendants, Israel who were created for the glory of Jehovah (Is43:7), after the exodus
Walked through the sea on dry ground, passed the wilderness in 40 years and arrived in Canaan.

Although the sanctuary was there to remind them of Jehovah the Creator of Israel (Is43:15),
For they served idols made by the hands of men, they were destroyed (Jer51:17).

Yeshua came and said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days,” because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body (Jn2:19-21),
He would create, not like the material things created in six days in the name Jehovah,
But a new heaven and a new earth, a delight and joy (Is65:17-19),
In the Father’s name Yeshua (Jn5:43) for
He is the Word in the beginning who created all things by His word (Pr8:27-30; Jn1:1-3; He11:3).
Although He testified this through many signs during His public life
Because He said that He and the Father are one (Jn10:30), He angered the Jews who were
Engrained in their faith of the Creator, leading Him to death.

As He died, He said, “It is finished” (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1) Laid down His life willingly and submitted to the Father’s command, and put an end to the
work of the 6-day creation and began a new work, a new creation (Is65:17-18; Jn10:17-18); 2) Judged the devil who forgot that he was a creature (Is14:12-15; Ge3:4-6); and
3) Allowed the souls who receive His sprinkled blood to become new creation (2Co5:17).

His resurrection was a new work, a new event, not there during the 6-day creation (Is42:9).
He ascended to the heavenly throne for He is “the beginning of God’s creation” (Rev3:14).

While in the last days the scoffers will cause others to not believe in the historical fact of the Bible,
The Holy Spirit lets believers believe all the more in:
1) The Creator God; 2) Yeshua Christ is the Creator; 3) The end of the world—hell;
4) A new heaven and a new earth (2Pe3:7-11).

The Christian has put on a new self,
Renewed in the knowledge of the universe, of the world and of life (Col3:10; 1Jn2:15-17).
He puts effort to bear the image of his Creator
By submitting to His commands and remaining in his place doing his part.
He lives by preparing to leave at anytime,
Striving to do the work of snatching one more soul from the fire (Jude1:23),
For He who is coming will come and not delay (He10:37; Rev10:6).

O Lord,
This day! The last days!
Although many churches do not talk about the end or hell and
To many Christians the end has become an imagery,
Let our Church of Jesus take to the heart that
God is the Creator, the coming Judge, and
When You return, let not even one of us be found on earth! Amen.
