The power of creation is the power of redemption. The power to change chaos into cosmos in the beginning is needed, is essential, in transforming the soul from the chaos of sin to the cosmos, the order, of righteousness. Only creative power can do this. Therefore it is said, "If any man be in Christ, there is a new creation." 2 Cor. 5:17. The personal God has spoken as truly as He spoke "in the beginning," or on that first day of the creative week, when He said, "Let there be light," and light was. He speaks to the dark heart of the sinner, and light breaks in; for God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath also "shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." This is the hope of every person, that the creative power of God may be exercised to the salvation of the soul. And the only message in the world which presents this is the Gospel message of God concerning His Son Jesus Christ.
