Creation

Creation

God Alone Creates

God specifically disclaims any help or agency in creation outside Himself.

Reference Verse
Isaiah 44:24Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, who formed you from the womb: "I am the Lord, who made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself, ...
Isaiah 45:18 For this is what the Lord says —
he who created the heavens,
he is God;
he who fashioned and made the earth,
he founded it;
he did not create it to be empty,
but formed it to be inhabited —
he says:
"I am the Lord,
and there is no other."
Job 9:8 He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea.

Yet Jesus Creates

And yet Jesus is repeatedly attributed with the work of creation.
