The Bible, Creation, and You: How the Bible and Creation Applies to You
CREATION
God is your Creator. God is our Creator. You must believe that God is the Creator of everything in order to have an intimate and spiritual relationship with God. Millions and Billions of years of random chance evolution cannot inspire a relationship with God and Jesus Christ. Jesus Confirmed Creation and the Flood (Matthew 24:37-39, Matthew 19:4-6).
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Matthew 24:37-39.
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, (Genesis 1:27). 5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? (Genesis 2:24). 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder (Matthew 19:4-6).
Peter also helps confirm Creation and the Flood:
"But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. 6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed". 2 Peter 3:5
