54. How did God create the universe? (CCC295-301,327-329)
Compendium states:
God created the universe freely with wisdom and love. The world is not the result of any necessity, nor of blind fate, nor of chance. God create “out of nothing” ( 2 Maccabees 7:28) a world which is ordered and good and which He infinitely transcends. God preserves his creation in being and sustain it, giving it the capacity to act and leading it toward its fulfilment through His Son and Holy Spirit.
What does this mean for me?
- Every morning I can thank God for preserving his creation in being and sustaining it.
- I can thank God for creating the universe freely with wisdom and love.
- I can appreciate the intricacies of the creation and marvel at God’s goodness.
Questions to consider:
1. Read the scripture quoted so that there is an understanding of context.
2. How do I explain to other people who have a different view of how creation was created the truth regarding creation according to the Catholic Church?
