This We Believe: Exploring the Essential Texts of the Christian Faith
God the Father, Creator of Heaven and Earth
Christians believe that God created the world. This raises an important question: why did God decide to do this? Was God lonely, did he need something to do, or is there some other reason that prompted the creation of the world? The Apostles’ Creed begins by describing God as the “The Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth,” so in this episode we are going to unpack this statement, discussing what it means to call God Father, as well us delving deeper into the creation of the world in Genesis 1.
This We Believe is brought to you by Lexham Press, publisher of Dr. Niebauer’s forthcoming book Four Mountains: Encountering God in the Bible from Eden to Zion. Four Mountains takes readers through the whole story of the Bible through its mountains, training readers to encounter scripture like the early Christians. Learn how God uses symbols like wood, water, and fire to stitch together the Old and New Testaments, and discover how these symbols draw us up into the very life of Christ. Four Mountains can be read by individuals or as part of church Bible studies and Christian education classes.
