In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. (Genesis 1:1-5, NRSV)
A formless void…
Ex nillio…
People say that the Bible says that God created out of nothing. I do not doubt that God could create out of nothing, I mean He made a man out of mud and His breath, and a woman from a rib… So He could create out of nothing…
But a formless void is something…
But that isn’t the point here…
The point is God created! He said Let there be light and there was!
God spoke! He created!
He made light and the light will not be overcome by the darkness!
Rejoice and live in the light!
