Creation Moment 3/2/2021 - The "Consist" of Creation

 "It was Christ the Son of God who made all the multitude of worlds
that roll in space
 
God made them by Him. 
For:
John 1:1  
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 
2 The same was in the beginning with God. 
3 All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. 
 
Colossians 1:16 For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers; all things were created by Him, and for Him; 
17 And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist. 
 
---The word “consist” here conveys the idea that all things were not only put together by Him but that by Him also they hold together. 
 
The same thing is told in another way by reading two texts together. 
Hebrews 11:3 The worlds were framed [put together] by the word of God. 
And the next verse speaks of Christ’s...Hebrews 13 ...upholding all things by the word of His power. 
Thus the worlds were put together by Christ, and by Him they hold together,—by Him all things consist
 
Notice further that it was by His word that the worlds were framed, and it is by the word of His power that all things are upheld."
