The Bible introduces God to us as Creator. 'In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth ... ' (Genesis 1:1).
'In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind' (Job 12:10).
' ... when you take away their breath, they die and return to the dust. When you send your Spirit they are created ..' (Psalm 104:29,30).
'I am the Lord, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself' (Isaiah 44:24).
' ... he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it empty but formed it to be inhabited - he says: "I am the Lord, and there is no other" ' (Isaiah 45:18).
' ... there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came ... ' (1 Corinthians 8:6).
'You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honour and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being' (Revelation 4:17).
To know God as Creator endows life with significance and structure, purpose and hope. It is to have a firm foundation in the midst of apparent meaninglessness and chaos.
