Creator and Redeemer

1. By whom did all things come into existence?

"In Him [the Son of God] were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible." Col. 1:16.

2. What else do we have in Him besides our Creator?

"In whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins." Col. 1:14.

3. What is said of Christ's relationship to the Father?

"Who is the image of the invisible God." Col. 1:15.

"Being the effulgence of His glory, and the very image of His substance." Heb. 1:3.

"I and My Father are one." John 10: 30.

4. What assurance does He give us in His creative power?

"Thus saith Jehovah that CREATED thee, . . . and He that formed thee, . . . Fear not, for I have REDEEMED thee, I have called thee by thy name, thou art Mine." Isa. 43:1.

5. What is said of those who by faith enter into life relationship with Christ?

"If any man is in Christ, he is a new CREATURE [margin, "there is a new creation"]: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new." 2 Cor. 5:17.

NOTE.—The hope which God sets before the children of earth who have fallen into despairing sin, is based in creative power. He does not leave mankind to struggle through long ages of evolution or transmigration of souls; but to come to Him, let His Word speak, and live and grow thereby. Redemption is re-creation, of which more next week.
