"The doctrine of God’s creation is doxological, serving as the basis of worship and spirituality by exalting the power, greatness, goodness, and love of God.
Hence John exclaims and commands, “Worthy art thou, our Lord
and our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power: for thou didst create all things, and because of thy will they were, and were created” (Rev. 4:11).
The doxological imperative of creation provides an overarching basis for a special creation worldview that calls for a recent Creation, accomplished in six literal days, leading to the seventh day of rest and worship."

Nothing was before Him,
and nothing will be without Him.
Nothing is greater than the Creator.
Hence John exclaims and commands, “Worthy art thou, our Lord
and our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power: for thou didst create all things, and because of thy will they were, and were created” (Rev. 4:11).
The doxological imperative of creation provides an overarching basis for a special creation worldview that calls for a recent Creation, accomplished in six literal days, leading to the seventh day of rest and worship."
