Creation involves calling into existence those things which do not exist. The LORD created the heavens and the earth out of nothing (ex nihilo). The motivation, cause and initial moment of creation can only be found in the eternal will and good pleasure of God. In His counsel and will, He created all worlds, (see the Nicene Creed), that is, the heavens above and the deepest seas. All things were created by the power of His Word, Hebrews 1:1,2.
