Untitled Sermon (2)

“Back To The Basis”

The Bible is not the only religious book that talks about the origin of the universe. It is, however, the most audacious. Most ancient creation accounts Chronicle a struggle between good and evil forces, with the earth popping up as a sort of accidental by-product of struggle.

In these other accounts, the gods who created the world did so out of some prior material. The god crafted, but they could not truly create.

The creation story in Scripture is altogether different. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. What we see here is creation Ex nihilo- that is , out of nothing. God did not need raw material to make His universe.
