'Creation' in the Bible

For since the creation of the world God's invisible attributes his eternal power and divine nature have been understood and observed by what he made, so that people are without excuse.

They exchanged God's truth for a lie and worshipped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

For the creation is eagerly awaiting the revelation of God's children,

because the creation has become subject to futility, though not by anything it did. The one who subjected it did so in the certainty

that the creation itself would also be set free from corrupting bondage in order to share the glorious freedom of God's children.

For we know that all the rest of creation has been groaning with the pains of childbirth up to the present time.

However, not only the creation, but we who have the first fruits of the Spirit also groan inwardly as we eagerly await our adoption, the redemption of our bodies.

nor anything above, nor anything below, nor anything else in all creation can separate us from the love of God that is ours in union with the Messiah Jesus, our Lord.
