Today, let us reflect together on a significant theme: the question of the origin of all things. In our contemplation, we will focus on the “cosmological” argument, leading us to recognize the existence of God as the most logical explanation for creation.
The basic idea of the cosmological argument is simple: nothing arose by itself, and nothing created itself. Everything created was brought into existence by something that existed before. This chain of causes continues until we reach something uncaused, something that has always existed and was never nonexistent. This uncreated reality, eternally existing, is, as we believe, the God described in Holy Scripture.
Let’s look at some verses that provide insight into the origin of all things:
-
Revelation 4:11: “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will, they were created and have their being.”
-
Colossians 1:16–17: “For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him, all things hold together.”
-
John 1:1–3: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him, all things were made; without him, nothing was made that has been made.”
