Psalm 19:1 proclaims, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.” This verse beautifully illustrates that all of creation is a testament to the majesty and power of God. Yet Scripture reveals that it is Jesus Christ, God the Son, who spoke creation into existence and brought all things into being.

Hebrews 1:1–3 and verse 10 tell us that through Jesus, God made the universe and that Jesus is the radiance of God’s glory who upholds all things by His word. It is Jesus who laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of His hands.

“God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who, being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.”
— Hebrews 1:1–3

“And: ‘You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.'”
— Hebrews 1:10

Colossians 1:15–16 further supports this truth, declaring:

“For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.”

Creation itself is not only a testimony to God’s existence but also serves as a warning to the world. Romans 1:18–20 reminds us that God’s invisible attributes, His eternal power, and divine nature are clearly seen in what has been made. Through creation, God has revealed Himself to all mankind, leaving them without excuse.

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.”
— Romans 1:18–21

This revelation of God in creation is not just a testimony—it also carries a solemn warning. Scripture makes it clear that mankind is accountable to God, and a day is coming when all will be judged by Jesus Christ.

Romans 2:16 warns:

“In the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.”— Romans 2:16

What is Paul’s gospel?

“Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,”

— I Corinthians 15:1-4

For believers, the awe-inspiring truth is this: our Redeemer, God the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, is not only the One who died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day—paying the full price for the sins of the world—but He is also the very Creator of all things. By the power of His word, He spoke the universe into existence, bringing forth everything from nothing.

We do not worship a distant or impersonal deity; we worship the One True and Living God, the very Word who became flesh and dwelt among mankind. His handiwork is displayed in creation, and His love is revealed in the gospel.

For those who do not yet believe, the evidence of His existence is all around—declared in the heavens, written in His Word, and made manifest in Jesus Christ.

Let this truth bring joy to your heart, rejoice in the Lord and His glory, pray for one another that we may continue to stand firm in the power of His word.
