A Baptist Catechism Question 13

I am getting A Baptist Catechism from Desiring God website. I am trying to hang in there and to learn from this too.

Question 13: What is the work of creation?

Answer: The work of creation is God's making all things [out] of nothing, by the word of his power and all very good.

Scripture: Genesis 1:1; Genesis 1:31; Hebrews 11:3; Exodus 20:11; Romans 4:17. (I will be posting it below, so that you don't have to go to the link. All the link will be English Standard Version "ESV".)

Comment: Before creation there was only God in the holy fellowship of the Trinity. Therefore his creation is always different from ours: we start with something.

1:1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1 ESV

31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. Genesis 1:31 ESV

3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. Hebrews 11:3 ESV

11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. Exodus 20:11 ESV

17 as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist. Romans 4:17 ESV

It is amazing to see how much we all can learn by this wonderful Baptist Catechism. The Lord is so good.
