Creation
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1:1)
Christians believe that the universe is a creation. It does not just happen to be here. It is not random. It exists on purpose at the will of the Eternal Being we call God.
The opening words of Genesis were quoted in a broadcast to the Earth by the astronauts of Apollo 8 on Christmas Eve 1968, when human beings orbited the moon for the first time.
Christians believe that the Creator, is worthy of our worship.
“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honour and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.” (Revelation 4:11)
God is love (1 John 4:8)
That means that God is not self-centred. God reaches out to the creation. God cares for the creation, and for us.
