When any of us start to build something we get the various bits – the building blocks, and then join them together.

But when we are talking about the beginning of the world there were no building blocks.

There was nothing … 

When I say there was nothing. I mean there was nothing of tangible substance.

God was there and the Bible expresses it so profoundly and yet so simply:

“In the beginning God …”

And what did He do:

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1 (ANIV)

God’s method of creating the world was:

• Out of nothing.
• Instantly created – in no time at all.
• Instant perfection – with no experimentation.
• Simply by ordering it – creating laws so there was a harmony in the way things existed with each other.
