The Scriptural description of creation is given primarily in the first chapter of <strong>Genesis<\/strong>. The main doctrinal point about creation is that God alone is uncreated and ever-existing. Everything which exists besides God was created by Him. God, however, did not create everything individually and all at once, so to speak. He created the first foundations of existence, and then over periods of time (perhaps millions of years, see <em>2 Pet 3:8<\/em>) this first foundation of existence-by the power which God had given to it\u2014brought forth the other creatures of God:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #800000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Let the earth put forth vegetation\u2026 let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures\u2026 let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds &#8230;\u201d (Gen 1:19, 20, 24)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Thus, although God is certainly the creator of everything. He acts gradually in time and by means of things previously made by Him to which He has given life-producing potencies and powers. <br \/> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; According to the Orthodox Faith, everything that God makes is \u201cvery good\u201d: the heavens, the earth, the plants, the animals, and finally man himself (<em>Gen 1:31<\/em>). God is pleased with creation and has made it for no other purpose than to participate in His own divine, uncreated existence and to live by His own divine \u201cbreath of life\u201d (<em>Gen 1:30; 2:7<\/em>).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; width: 1046px; height: 487px;\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 346px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;\"><strong><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; margin: 15px; float: left; width: 302px; height: 211px;\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"http:\/\/www.orthodoxalbania.org\/images\/besorth1\/smallpics\/krijimi2.jpg\" \/><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 258px; text-align: center;\">\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #800000;\">By the Word of the Lord<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #800000;\"> the heavens were made,<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #800000;\"> and all their host by the<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #800000;\"> breath [or Spirit] of His mouth. <\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #800000;\"> He gathered the waters of the sea as in a bottle;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #800000;\"> He put the deeps in storehouses. <\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #800000;\"> Let all the earth fear the Lord,<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #800000;\"> let all the inhabitants of the world<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #800000;\"> stand in awe of Him!<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #800000;\"> For He spoke, and it came to be<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #800000;\"> He commanded, and it was made!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\"> (Ps 33:6-9)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 354px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; margin: 15px; float: left; width: 302px; height: 214px;\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"http:\/\/www.orthodoxalbania.org\/images\/besorth1\/smallpics\/krijimi3.jpg\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In the above-quoted verses as well as in the account of Genesis we must notice the presence and action of God\u2019s Word and God\u2019s Spirit. God the Father makes all that exists by means of His Divine Word\u2014\u201cfor He spoke and it came to be\u201d\u2014and by His Divine Spirit who \u201cmoved upon the face of the waters\u201d (<em>Gen 1:2<\/em>). We see already a glimpse of the Holy Trinity to be fully revealed in the New Testament when the Word becomes flesh and when the Holy Spirit comes personally to the disciples of Jesus on the day of Pentecost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We must make special notice as well of the goodness of the created physical world. There is no dualism in Orthodox Christianity. There is no teaching that \u201cspirit\u201d is good and \u201cmatter\u201d is bad, that \u201cheaven\u201d is good and the \u201cearth\u201d is evil. God loves His entire material creation with His eternal love and, as we shall see, when the physical creation is mined by sin He does everything in His power to save it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Loving the whole of His good creation, God the Father dwells within the world that He has made because of His goodness and love for man. The omnipresence of God is one of the divine attributes of the Creator particularly stressed in Orthodox Christian teaching. This fact is directly affirmed in the prayer to the Spirit of God which is used as the opening prayer of Orthodox worship:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #800000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; O Heavenly King, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, who art everywhere and fillest all things.

The Lord Jesus Christ, in order to have men realize that the true God, His Father, is not bound to one or another particular place, as were the pagan gods, teaches men to pray to the Father \u201cin the heavens.\u201d For the one true and living God is present to all, over all, embracing and encompassing all with His heavenly care and protection. The God who is \u201cover all\u201d is also \u201cthrough all and in all\u201d (<em>Eph 4:5<\/em>). By His Word and His Holy Spirit, God \u201cfills all in all\u201d (<em>Eph I :10, 23<\/em>).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Thus, the Apostle Paul also proclaimed to the Athenians, that whether men realize it or not, \u201cin Him we live and move and have our being,\u201d for \u201cHe is not far from each one of us\u201d (<em>Acts 17:27-28<\/em>). It is this fact of God\u2019s omnipresence in His creation, and our own presence in and to Him, that is witnessed to so beautifully in Psalm 139:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #800000;\">Whither shall I go from Thy Spirit?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #800000;\">Or whither shall I flee from Thy Presence?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #800000;\">If I ascend to heaven, Thou art there!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #800000;\">If I make my bed in Sheol, Thou art there<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Thy hand shall lead me, and Thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, \u201cLet only darkness cover me, and the light about me be night,\u201d even the darkness is not dark to Thee, the night is bright as the day; for darkness is as light with Thee!
