Genesis 1

Genesis chapter 1 opens the Bible with one of the most profound declarations in all of Scripture: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). These ten words establish the foundation of our faith. Before time, space, or matter existed, there was God—eternal, sovereign, and all-powerful. Unlike ancient creation myths that depict gods battling chaos or emerging from it, the biblical account presents one true God who speaks order into existence from nothing. This ex nihilo creation reveals His unmatched authority and sets Him apart as the sole Creator.
