His Divine Spoken Word, seed of His Divine Creative Will, as Maker, expresses God’s effortless, spontaneous creation, endowing existence with reality and vivifying presence. Creation, thus, is “out of nothing (the Word) and out something (the Word)” that infuses all things with Divine presence. His precious Living Word becomes the foremost emblem of Living Matter made manifest, a testimony of His sovereignty and omnipotence, used exclusively of God’s action, says Anderson, to avoid any divine analogies to either potter, or architect who create from something (cf. Pss. 51:10 – H 51:12; 104:30; Isa. 43:1, 7, 15; 48:7), given that matter places limitations on God’s will. 142 God’s Spirit- Word breathes beyond the Grecian notion of creation “out of something,” be it out of matter, out of the Perfect Ideas, the things-in-themselves, because His Word is a testimony to Love and to His infinite, effortless, limitless dynamic power.
