WHY DID GOD CREATE? - By Dr. Wm. Hallman

 Scripture Reading: Genesis1:1; Psalms 33:1-22

 In Hebrew there are just seven words in this opening sentence. They are composed of 28 letters (4x7). The subject and predicate have 14 letters each (2x7). The objects, "the heavens and the earth," have 7 letters each. Such perfection is outstanding and noteworthy. This verse also contains the five factors which are considered a manifestation of the unknowable. They are: Time - "In the beginning," Force,- "God," Motion, - "created," Space, - "The Heavens," and Matter, - "the earth."

 God created, first of all, To Declare His Pleasure. "For thy pleasure they are and were created" (Revelation 4:11). God, not only, has natural and moral attributes, but also social. There are such attributes as concord, unity, fraternity, design and beauty in His nature. So here, in creation, He displays the delights of Deity.

 He also created, To Demonstrate His Power. "Great is our God, and of great power" (Psalms 147:4-5). How big is the universe? Astronomers measure distance by "Light Years." Light travels 186,000 miles a second. Multiply this by the number of seconds in a year, and one has a "Light Year." They say the nearest fixed star is some 11 light years away. "By Him all things consist" (Colossians 1:17). He is the One Who upholdeth all things by His power.

 Creation also Displays His Perfection. "The wondrous works of Him which is perfect in knowledge" (Job 37:16). Any part of God's universe will show forth exquisite beauty, symmetry of design, and absolute perfection. Whether it be the tiny snow flake or the unwanted dandelion flower, they are beyond man's ability to duplicate in perfection.

 But, best of all, He created To Determine His Purpose. All things were created by Christ and for Him (Colossians 1:16). Here creation is set in the context of redemption. Before each object of this verse (1:1) there is a particle composed of the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet. aleph and tau. Meditate on this in the light of Isaiah 41:4; 44:6: Revelation 1:8,11. Yes, this verse determines His purpose in Redemption and Reconciliation. vest
