The origin of the word god is a bit enigmatic. Our English version of the word comes from a Greek word meaning “to pour,” but may also have been influenced by a mix of other cultures and languages, as explained by the Online Etymology Dictionary.

God is the Creator of the Universe (Genesis 1:1). Through him and by him, all things are made (Romans 11:36). He sustains every living thing. Every living thing is finite and contingent upon his existence. Because of his infinite nature, he is not reliant on anything for his existence.

First, he wants a personal relationship with his creation. No other god is willing to come down in the...

The beauty and practicality of all creation shows God cares for those he creates and appreciates our beauty. On a logical standpoint, we have to consider how the universe came into existence in the first place. Because of the second law of thermodyn...
Dec 1, 2021 · John seems to indicate that God created by speaking, and that Jesus was the Word through whom God made the world. When John writes that “without him was not any thing made that was made” (John 1:3b), he asserts that God the Father through the Son is responsible for all that is.
