The act of creation as depicted in the Bible is not merely a historical account but a reflection of God's character—His omnipotence, wisdom, and loving care. These scriptures not only detail the physical manifestation of the world but also embody the spiritual principles guiding life.
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handywork."
"O Lord, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches."
"I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded."
"He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion."
"And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."
"Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness."
"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse."
"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."
"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him."
