Recently I was given a wonderful text book entitled: Biblical Doctrine, A Systematic Summary of Bible Truth. The editors are John MacArthur and Richard Mayhue.
On page 213 it states: God's creation is defined as His work by His Word and for His glory in creating the universe out of nothing so that its original condition was without spiritual or physical corruption. The purpose of this discussion is not to set forth apologetic arguments for creationism, but to summarize the Biblical Doctrine of God's work of creation and to set forth the fiat creationist model as the proper interpretation of the Biblical creation narrative.
The above summary is clear. The Doctrine of Creation is necessary to our understanding of the Bible. They list 11 statements to divine creation of the universe. I will be sharing, in the weeks to come, highlights from these topics.
Worthy are You, our Lord and our God to receive glory, and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed and were created. Revelation 4:11
