THE CREATOR

” All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” (John 1:3-5 ESV)

From John 1:1-2 and Philippians 2:6-7 it is clear that Jesus was with the Father partaking the divine glory and He came down into this world in the form of servant in the likeness of man relinquishing the glory that He had with the Father. John continues to write that all things were made through Him and without Him was nothing made. He is the creator of everything and in Him is the life, and the life is the light of men. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.

Answering a question from Thomas, Jesus said to him ”I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you had known me, ou would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him. ” (John 14:6-7 ESV)

God brought into existence everything from nothing by His word and He was capable of creating everything in perfection. Whatever He created, it was as it was created was perfect, and as He said it was ”good ” All that came into existence was, as he said in His own words, it was ”good ”. There was no light and when the LORD said ”Let there be light ” there was light, and if His word is true, then there should be hypothetical questions raised as to how it came about. God’s word is absolutely true and it contains truth and nothing else but the truth. His word is inerrant.

The earth was without form and void when it was created and it was as it was that is” without form and void”, created as such for man to live upon it, and was perfect in the sight of the LORD. Any proposition that Satan has upset God’s creation is an assumption casting aspersion on the ability of God and undermining the authority of God.
