Let There Be Light: Genesis 1:1-5
Before anything was, God was.
No space. No time. No matter spinning through void. Nothing but the eternal I AM, complete in himself, needing nothing, lacking nothing—yet choosing, in the mystery of divine love, to create.
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
The earth was formless and empty. Imagine it: chaos without shape, darkness so absolute it had never known the concept of light, waters churning in the void with no shore to break against. The deep—that ancient Hebrew word tehom carries the weight of primordial abyss, the yawning emptiness before existence found its footing.
