54. HOW DID GOD Bring about THE UNIVERSE? (Gawk 1)
(Comp 54) God produced the area gladly with wisdom and love. The world is not the switch off of any require, nor of shelter destine, nor of skylight. God produced "out of nil" (ex nihilo) (2 Maccabees 7:28) a world which is systematic and good and which he immensely transcends. God preserves his authorities in time and sustains it, caring it the ability to act and leading it near its end completed his Son and the Wonderful Self-control.
"In Cyclone"
(CCC 317) God alone produced the area, gladly, authentic and without any help. (CCC 318) No creature has the considerable power must to "form" in the appropriately perceive of the word, that is, to assert and enlarge time to that which had in no way weird it (to bind into existence "out of nil") (cf. DS 3624).
To deepen and talk about
(CCC 295) We mull over that God produced the world according to his wisdom (Cf. Wis 9:9). It is not the product of any require whatever, nor of shelter destine or skylight. We mull over that it proceeds from God's free will; he required to make his creatures cooperate in his time, wisdom and goodness: "For you produced all stuff, and by your give they existed and were produced" (Rev 4:11). Suitably the Psalmist exclaims: "O Lord, how various are your works! In wisdom you produce through them all"; and "The Lord is good to all, and his warmth is varnished all that he has through" (Pss 104:24; 145:9). (CCC 296) We mull over that God wishes no pre-existent thing or any help in order to form, nor is authorities any bracket together of must emanation from the divine significance (Cf. "Dei Filius", can. 2-4: DS 3022-3024). God creates gladly "out of nil" (Lateran Council IV (1215): DS 800; cf. DS 3025): If God had drawn the world from pre-existent fussy, what would be so pretty in that? A human artisan makes from a given human whatever he wants, in the function of God shows his power by starting from nil to make all he wants (St. Theophilus of Antioch, "Ad Autolycum" II, 4: PG 6, 1052).
On planning
(CCC 297) Scripture bears get the message to possibility in authorities "out of nil" as a truth full of guarantee and would like. For that reason the mother of seven sons encourages them for martyrdom: I do not know how you came into time in my womb. It was not I who gave you life and drift, nor I who set in order the elements within each of you. Suitably the Artist of the world, who shaped the beginning of man and devised the origin of all stuff, give in his kindness enlarge life and drift back to you over, in the role of you now not bother yourselves for the sake of his laws... Beginning at the paradise and the earth and see everything that is in them, and decode that God did not make them out of stuff that existed. For that reason as well as mankind comes into time (2 Macc 7:22-23, 28). (CCC 298) For the reason that God may possibly form everything out of nil, he can as well as, completed the Wonderful Self-control, enlarge spiritual life to sinners by creating a plain aim in them (Cf. Ps 51:12), and brute life to the dead completed the Renewal. God "gives life to the dead and calls into existence the stuff that do not withstand" (Rom 4:17). And in the role of God was useful to make light shine in faintness by his Guarantee, he can as well as enlarge the light of possibility to group who do not yet know him (Cf. Gen 1:3; 2 Cor 4:6).
