Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
My friends, if anyone is an expert on how things were formed or created, it is the One doing the creating. In this case, it is GOD!
Psa 90:2 says…Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
God was God before He created the things now seen. The heavens (the universe with the sun, moon, stars, planets, solar systems, and galaxies). And the earth and all that is on or in it.
This includes us, mankind! He created man/woman in His image. He created us with a free-will. That is a will to decide to do what is right or wrong. However, if we follow Him, He says, He will be with us forever. He will never leave us or forsake us.
My friends, if I was ever going to look to and follow someone, it would be the One who knows everything about me and my future. The one whose very breath, gave man life!
He is the One who existed before anything that we can see with our physical eyes. I know when we get to heaven our eyes will be amazingly shocked with the beauty of our Lord and the majesty of His home.
He existed before all things and He will still exist when its all gone. Oh praise the Lord!
