In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1:1)
The prevailing thinking of our world promotes many origin stories which are inconsistent with the real truth we find in this one, audacious statement at the start of the Bible. If we personally take this as true, it changes everything. It helps us to live securely and confidently knowing that God not only made the world, but that he also loves his creation, has an unfolding plan and will ultimately make all things new. We need to let this be a bedrock of truth in our lives!
