Jesus and the beginning of creation

By izartirta

It is not a coincidence if the Book of Genesis placed at the first book in the Bible because the Genesis itself means “beginnings” or “origin.”

This first book reveals the beginning of the world, the process of how the world was created, the beginning of human history, the first family, the beginning of civilization and also the beginning of salvation. And these are not all, because the most important aspect is not on its process but rather on the origin of everything.

Some scientist think that the Bible has nothing to do with the actual event occurred in our physical world. According to these kinds of scientist, this world is just a product of blind chance and probability, but it certainly took a bigger faith to believe it than believe that there is a Creator of the universe.

The Biblical view of creation is not in conflict with science; rather, it is in conflict with any worldview that starts without a Creator. The most important aspect of the continuing discussion is not the process of creation, but the origin of creation. The world is not a product of blind chance and probability; God created it.

Apostle John revealed the truth when he pointed at Jesus as the Creator of the universe. John declared: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.” (John 1:1-3)

Jesus indeed the Creator of every thing ever existed in our material and non material world. Someday each one of us should come before Him.
