Bible Question: How was earth created? |
Bible Answer: Hello Ahmed, and Welcome to the Forum: Your question: How was earth created? Here are a few verses from the Bible: Heb 11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible. Ex 20:11 "For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy. Ps 33:6 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host Ps 33:9 For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. These are not the only verses, but they are enough to show that God created the heavens (including space) and the earth and everything in them. He did not create them by taking something to make something else. He commanded them to be and they came to be. Genesis 1:3 Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. This is important because it shows that the Triune God does not need anything. He has and is all He needs in Himself. One day He will destroy this creation and make new heavens and a new earth: 2 Pet 3:12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! 2 Pet 3:13 But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells. But the most important new creation is what He does right now for His people in Christ--He makes them new creatures, so that we can live a new and righteous life! 2 Cor 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
