Shared Values of the Old and New Testaments
God is the Creator
God, speaking to Job in these verses, says humans cannot even fathom what is involved in the creation and maintenance of the physical and spiritual aspects of this earth. It is unreasonable to lack awe and a desire to know him. God is a holy Creator, not a random, angry, or punitive God.
Job 38:4-9 (TLB) 4 “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me, if you know so much. 5 Do you know how its dimensions were determined, and who did the surveying? 6-7 What supports its foundations, and who laid its cornerstone as the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy? 8-9 “Who decreed the boundaries of the seas when they gushed from the depths? Who clothed them with clouds and thick darkness?
Revelation 4:11 (TLB) 11 “O Lord, you are worthy to receive the glory and the honor and the power, for you have created all things. They were created and called into being by your act of will.”
