Bible Study Verse
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (NIV)
Thoughts
So, just why did God create the heavens and the earth? There's only one answer; it's very simple-- to glorify Himself. By doing so, God directs and draws us to Him every time we look into the sky or at the creation around us.
