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 all things are from him, by him, and for him. Glory belongs to him forever! Amen.
20 For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes—his eternal power and divine nature—have been understood and observed by what he made, so that people are without excuse.
19 For the creation is eagerly waiting for God to reveal his children,
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. Old things have disappeared, and—look!—all things have become new!
10 For we are his masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared long ago to be our way of life.
18 In accordance with his will he made us his children by the word of truth, so that we might become the most important of his creatures.
4 After all, every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.
28 For we live, move, and exist because of him, as some of your own poets have said: ‘For we are his children, too.’
13 I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth, and on the sea, and everything that is in them, saying, "To the one who sits on the throne and to the lambbe praise, honor, glory, and powerforever and ever!"
