“You alone are the LORD; You have made heaven, The heaven of heavens, with all their host, The earth and everything on it, The seas and all that is in them, And You preserve them all. The host of heaven worships You” (Neh. 9:6).
The Bible opens with the declaration that not only does God exist, but that He is the Creator (Gen. 1:1). This truth is restated many times throughout Holy Writ (cf. Gen. 2:4, 5:1- 2; Ex. 20:11; Isa. 45:11-12, 18). Every single person is made in the image of God which makes us the created and He the Creator (Gen. 1:26-27). He is the very reason for our being (Acts 17:23-28). That means that we all have the duty to fear and obey Him (Ecc. 12:13-14). That means we have no right to back talk to Him (Rom. 9:19-20; Isa. 45:9). That means we have the responsibility to bring glory to Him in all that we say and do (1 Cor. 6:20, 10:31).
We serve the awesome Creator that loves us dearly. This is evidenced by Him sending His Son to die on the cross to make possible our redemption (John 3:16-17). We should esteem Him more and more as each day passes (John 14:15; 1 John 5:1-4; Rev. 4:11). God is the Creator!
