"THE same word that created the earth also upholds it.
We quote again the words concerning Christ: "For in Him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through Him, and unto Him; and He is before all things, and in Him all things consist." To consist means to hold together.
Therefore all things on the earth, and the earth itself, owe their continued existence to Christ.
*So Paul declared on Mars' Hill, "In Him we live, and move, and have our being." (Col. 1:16/Acts 17:28)
