…old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. – 2 Corinthians 5:17

Creation is the work of God alone. It must be so. If any doubt it, let us bid them make the effort to create the smallest object. The potter places his clay upon the wheel, and shapes it after his own pleasure, he fashions the vase, but he is not the creator of it. The clay was there beforehand, he does but change its shape. Will any man who thinks he can play the creator, produce a single grain of dust? Call now, and see if there be any that will answer thee-call unto nothingness, and bid a grain of dust appear at thy bidding. It cannot be. Now, inasmuch as Paul declares the Christian man to be a new creature, it is proven that the Christian man is the work of God, and the work of God alone, “Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” The inner life of the Christian is the sole work of the Most High, neither can any pretend to put his finger thereto to help the Creator. In creation, who helped God? who poised the clouds for Him? who weighed the hills in scales to aid His skill, or helped Him dig the channels of the sea? Who aided in rolling the stars along? who took a torch to light up the lamps of heaven? With whom took the Almighty counsel, and who instructed Him? If there be any that can stand with God in the making of the world, then may some pretend to compare with Him in the conversion of souls, but until that shall be, the new creation is God’s sole domain, and in it His attributes, and His attributes alone, shine resplendent. “It is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy.” The sovereign will of God creates men heirs of grace.

Yes, great God, it was great to make a world, but greater to create a new creature in Christ Jesus. ~ C.H. Spurgeon
