Criação
A criação revela a glória de Deus. Céus, terra, mares e tudo o que existe testemunham o poder criador. No princípio Deus criou — e tudo era muito bom.
No princípio
No princípio criou Deus os céus e a terra. O Espírito de Deus pairava sobre as águas. E Deus disse: haja luz.
O poder criador
Pela palavra do Senhor foram feitos os céus. Tudo foi criado por Ele e para Ele — o visível e o invisível.
Criador e Sustentador
O Deus eterno não se cansa nem se fatiga. Dele, por Ele e para Ele são todas as coisas — a Ele seja a glória.
36 For of Him and through Him and to Him [are] all things; to Him [be] the glory forever! Amen.
20 For the invisible things of Him from the creation of[ ]the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things made, both His eternal power and divinity, so that they are without excuse.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly awaits the unveiling of the sons of God.
Nova criação
Se alguém está em Cristo, nova criatura é. O Criador faz novas todas as coisas — na natureza e na redenção.
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, all things have become new.
10 For we are His handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
18 Exercising His will He begat us by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
4 For every house is built by someone, but He[ ]who built all things is God.
28 for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also His offspring.'
13 And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: "Blessing and honor and glory and power to Him that sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever. Amen!"
