Starting with Nothing
God made the world from nothing, and if we can be nothing, then God can make something of us. (Martin Luther King Jr, social activist)
Do you marvel at God’s creation and love its beauty and the amazing way it works? Humans are the capstone of his creation, but with a significant difference. We have minds which can reason and wills to make choices, and we must not open the door to wrong choices. When we regard ourselves as nothing without God, he can begin to use our lives to honor him and benefit society.
So God created people in his own image. Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was excellent in every way (Genesis 1:27a & 31).
