God Is the Creator: Part 1

TBC Glassboro Sermons and More · God Is The Creator - Part 1
Genesis 1:1 says, “In the beginning God, created the heavens and the earth.”  From the opening statement of Scripture, God reveals Himself as Creator.  It is this very revelation of God, which evolutionist seek to rid themselves.  Herbert Spencer, one of the originators of the theory of evolution, vehemently denied God as the source of Creation.  In his book, First Principles, he argues that five things are necessary for creation: Time, Force, Action, Space, and Matter.  

Here is an excellent example of God using the mysteries of creation to disgrace the philosophers of the world (cf. 1 Corinthians 1:27).  While Mr. Spencer sought to undermine the validity of creation theology, he unwittingly underscored the very truth of creation theology as revealed in Genesis 1:1.  God says, “In the beginning” (TIME) “God” (FORCE) “created” (ACTION) “the heavens” (SPACE) “and the earth” (MATTER).  God is the force or energy, which performed the creating action.  God spoke, and it happened.  

  • And God said... - Genesis 1:3, 6, 9, 11, 14, 20, 24, 26 
  • By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.         - Psalm 33:6

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy can be transferred, but it cannot be created or destroyed.  In other words, energy cannot be created from nothing; it must be transferred from another source.  As we have set forth, God is eternal and self-sufficient.  Therefore, He is uncaused and the First Cause in creation.  

The energy in the universe originated from God.  On the first day of creation, God said, “Let there be light” (Genesis 1:4).  Light is energy (it is one form of electromagnetic energy).  When God said, “Let there be light,” God did not create light or energy, but transferred energy from His own essence.

    WHY TWO MINUTES?

    The Two-Minute Rule states “When you start a new habit, it should take less than two minutes to do.”   The idea behind the rule is to make a habit easy to start.
    One of the goals for 2-Minute Theology is to help believers develop a theological habit.
    Another goal is to provide believers with a resource they can use to 'test the spirits' to see if they are from God.
