John 1:1-3 (NKJV) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
The Trinity was present at the time of creation, but each played a distinct role. God spoke the Word; the Word was Jesus, and the Holy Spirit brought the desired results into being. Likewise, in the New Testament, we see that God the Father anointed Jesus to do good and to heal all who were oppressed by the devil (Acts 10:38). The anointing refers to the Holy Spirit’s empowering. Again, the Trinity was working in harmony to reveal the Person and character of God to us. Jesus came to declare God, who was once hidden, to us in the New Testament through types and shadows.
Colossians 1:16 (NKJV) For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.
The divine Word of God, Jesus, created everything in heaven and on earth, both the visible and the invisible. God reveals Himself through His creation—the land, the sea, the galaxies, and all the living creatures.
God created Adam from the earth, and Eve out of Adam’s rib. Our bodies reveal God’s intentional architecture. They operate on microscopic, automated precision. DNA repairs itself, cells divide without instructions, and organs synchronise in rhythms. This isn’t random chaos but a sustained, orderly system. For many, this points to a lawgiver—a mind that infused matter with logic, suggesting that God is not distant but intimately involved in the fabric of existence. The body’s ability to recover—whether from a cut, a broken bone, or emotional trauma—reveals a divine principle: restoration is built into creation. The fact that healing is automatic implies God’s mercy operates below your conscious awareness.
Scripture tells us that “the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.” (Hebrews 11:3). God did not use physical materials to create the stars and the galaxies, but His Word. When God said, “Let there be light” in Genesis 1:3, the Holy Spirit brought that Word into manifestation. Everything we see in the natural realm began in the spiritual realm through the spoken Word of God.
God created the entire creation by His Word, and He upholds it by the power of His Word. The same power that holds the universe together is contained in the promises He has given to us. Let’s agree that God’s Word has creative power and the authority to bring to pass what He has spoken and promised us!
Reflection: How does knowing that the power of God’s Word is the same power that created the world encourage you when your faith starts to waver?
Sermon Series: Agreeing with the Word of God
神话语的大能
约翰福音 1:1-3 太初有道,道与神同在,道就是神。这道太初与神同在。万物是借着他造的;凡被造的,没有一样不是借着他造的。
三位一体在创造之时都参与其中,但各自扮演着不同的角色。父神说出话语;这话语就是耶稣;圣灵使所宣告的话语成就并显明出来。同样,在新约中,我们看到父神用圣灵的能力膏立耶稣,使祂能够行善,并医治所有被魔鬼压制的人(使徒行传 10:38)。膏立指的是圣灵所赐的能力。再次,我们看见三位一体彼此和谐地运行,将神的本性和性情向我们显明。耶稣来到世上,在新约中向我们启示那位曾经隐藏的神;过去神透过预表和影儿向人显明,而如今祂借着耶稣完全显明出来。
歌罗西书 1:16 因为万有都是靠他造的,无论是天上的、地上的,能看见的、不能看见的,或是有位的、主治的、执政的、掌权的,一概都是借着他造的,又是为他造的。
神圣的话语——耶稣,创造了天地万物,包括一切看得见和看不见的。神透过祂的创造彰显自己——大地、海洋、浩瀚的宇宙,以及所有活物。
神用地上的尘土创造亚当,又从亚当的肋骨创造夏娃。我们的身体显明了神精心设计的架构。人体以微观且自动化的精准方式运作。DNA能够自我修复,细胞能够在没有外界指令的情况下分裂,身体各个器官能够按照协调的节奏运转。这并不是随机产生的混乱,而是一个持续、有秩序的系统。对许多人而言,这指向一位设立规律的创造者——一位将逻辑赋予物质的智慧源头,也显明神并非遥不可及,而是亲密地参与在整个受造界的结构之中。身体恢复的能力——无论是伤口愈合、骨折复原,还是情感创伤的修复——都显明了一个属神的原则:恢复的能力已经被放置在创造之中。身体能够自动医治这一事实,说明神的怜悯在我们尚未察觉的时候,仍然持续运行。
圣经告诉我们:“我们因着信,就知道诸世界是借着神的话造成的;这样,所看见的,并不是从显然之物造出来的。”(希伯来书 11:3)神并没有使用物质材料创造星辰和银河,而是借着祂的话语创造。当神在创世记 1:3 说:“要有光”,圣灵就使这话语成为实际。我们在自然界中所看见的一切,都源于属灵领域中神所宣告的话语。
神借着祂的话语创造了整个受造界,也借着祂话语的大能托住万有。那维系整个宇宙运行的大能,同样包含在祂赐给我们的应许之中。让我们同意并相信:神的话语具有创造的大能,并拥有成就祂所说之话、实现祂所应许之事的权柄!
默想:当你的信心开始动摇时,知道创造世界的能力正是神话语中所拥有的能力,这如何鼓励你?
