AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 1:3 And God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. |
Bible Question (short): why did God have to create light? |
Question (full): The gospel of John tells us that Jesus Christ is the creator and he is the Light. Why in Gen. 1 does God have to create light? and why would the world have been created in darkness? It seems that God should have had to create darkness since 1 John 1:5 states: God is light, and in him is no darkness at all." (KJV) |
