Day 44. What does it mean that God created both heaven and earth? (2024)

Today is day 44 and we are on the section on the First Article of the Apostles' Creed on God the Father Almighty. Today we are on the third line: “Creator of Heaven and Earth” and studying question 44.

44. What does it mean that God created both heaven and earth?

It means that all things, whether visible or invisible, physical or spiritual, were brought into being out of nothing by the Word of the eternal God. (Genesis 1:1–8; Psalm 33:6–8; John 1:3; Colossians 1:16)

We will conclude today with Prayer 120. For the Beauty of the Earth found on page 682 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
