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 glory for ever! Amen.
20 For those things of him which are invisible, both his eternal power and Godhead, are clearly seen from the creation of the world, being understood by the things which are made, so that they are without excuse:
19 For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revelation 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 any one be in Christ, there is a new creation: the old things are passed way; behold, all things are become new:
10 For we are his workmanship, created through Christ Jesus unto good works, which God had before prepared, that we might walk in them.
18 Of his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
4 Now every house is built by some one: but he that built all things is God.
28 For in him we live and move, and have our being; as certain likewise of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
13 and the strength, and the honour, and the glory, and the blessing. And every creature which is in the heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and on the sea, and all that are in them, I heard them all saying, To him that sitteth on the throne, and to the Lamb, is the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the power, for ever and ever.
