Stated on Genesis 1:1 is, “In the beginning, when God created the universe,”
What does it mean?
If you are going to study it closely, there are two concepts behind it. The first one is the word, “beginning” while the second is “God who created the universe”.
So let’s first tackle the part about “In the beginning”. This means the beginning of everything but with the exception of God who is the Creator Himself. Yes, it is actually a common question that is being asked by many individuals about who created God. The answer to this question can be found on Psalm 90:2 where it says;
The keyword here is the part that state, “you were eternally God”. This means that God the Creator of everything is “eternal” which means that He “does not have a beginning or an end”.
Now, let’s go to the part about “when God created the universe”. This was the part when God cause everything to suddenly exist out from nothing. Only a power of a true God can perform such kind of marvelous and unparalleled creation. Another mention from the Bible about God as the Creator of all things can be found on Jeremiah 10:16 where it says;
On this Scripture, I would like to emphasize the part where it says “He is the one who made everything” and “The Lord Almighty is His name.” Again, this is another clear description from the Holy Bible stating that the Lord Almighty God is the Creator of everything.
Going back to Genesis 1:1; when God had created the universe, this was the start or beginning of everything for His creations. Thus, only God’s creation which is the universe has a beginning but not Him. When he created the universe, He created everything through His words. Let’s read Hebrews 11:3;
I need you to pay close attention to the part that says; “what can be seen was made out of what cannot be seen.” What does it mean? It means that God’s word is the part that cannot be seen. It then transformed into physical existence which became the composition of the entire universe.
Again, let’s go back to Genesis 1:1. When God created the universe at this particular point of time, everything was not yet completely done. He still needs to do some redesigning such as moving celestial objects to their proper places, Earth’s vegetation, creation of man and animals, and etc… We will cover more about these topics on the next succeeding posts.
