06/21/2023 – “Creation” – Chapter 31 Group fellowship and discussion / “Jesus said to them, ‘My father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working.” John 6:17
Once again, I share with you some key excerpts from this chapter:
“The Practical point of the all-sufficiency of God follows from the theological truth of creation. God created us out of nothing, … just as He created the whole universe out of nothing, He created each soul out of nothing. That is why each soul is new in ins unique substance or essence.
For each thing, of itself, if left untended, tends to fall back into that out of which it was made; and we were made out of nothing. Unless God said ‘Be!’ to us every moment, we would cease to be. The same is true of the universe as a whole. Everything sinks back to what it was made from unless it is continually provided for.
… God’s command to “be!” echoes from the single Now of eternity into every now moment of time. That is why every moment is holy; because it is filled with the presence and will and activity of God, at its very center, its very existence.”
Soli Deo Gloria!
