God is the great Creator. Before the creation of the heavens and earth, He existed. In His great power and wisdom, He spoke into existence the heavens and the earth and all that inhabits the earth. God gave creation a purpose through His orderly creation of all things. He alone is the Creator and He is everlasting. Everything He created is good and has great value. He loves His creation and sustains His creation.

God Is Creator – God Gives Life

Everything that is and that has ever existed was created by God. All of creation He created from nothing. He created everything for the purpose of bringing glory to His name, and after He created all things, He declared everything He made to be good. Since God is creator, it is He who gives life to all things, including us. Our lives and the purpose for our lives is found in Him.
