Created People

Genesis 1:27 “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”

The truth is that only God can (by definition) create, and whenever this verb (Hebrew: bara) is used in the Bible, the subject of the verb, either explicitly or implicitly, is God! The 1828 Webster’s dictionary defines the word “create” as: To produce; to bring into being from nothing; to cause to exist. “In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth”. - Genesis 1:1. However, certain “progressive creationists” contend that “creation” does not have to be instantaneous, but can be a protracted process—some form of evolution.

Genesis 5:2 “Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.”

This type of scriptural distortion illustrates the extremes to which theistic evolutionists and progressive creationists will go in order to force long evolutionary ages into Scripture. The 1828 Webster’s dictionary defines the word “creature” as: That which is created; every being besides the Creator, or every thing not self-existent. The sun, moon and stars; the earth, animals, plants, light, darkness, air, water, and are the creatures of God.

2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”

The 1828 Webster’s dictionary defines the word “creation” as: The act of creating; the act of causing to exist; and especially, the act of bringing this world into existence. -Romans 1. Also, The things created; creatures; the world; the universe (by Creator God). When a person receives the Lord Jesus Christ by faith as his Creator and Savior, he does indeed become “a new creation” – 2 Corinthians 5:17, and the miracle of regeneration is always recognized in Scripture as an instantaneous event accomplished by the Creator in the mind and heart of the believer at the time of conversion. 

Ephesians 4:22-24 “that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.”
