1. How did God create the universe? Through the Word. The Son of God is the Word itself. God speaks, and things happen, because the Spirit of God executes everything according to the divine Word. For God, there is no difficulty whatsoever, for His Word is an order, a sovereign command (Hebrews 11:3; 1:2; Psalm 33:9).
2. Christ is Wisdom and Prudence. In Him is perfect knowledge and counsel; therefore, God does not need counselors. The Son acts as the architect: what the Father desires, the Son manifests according to His will, and the Spirit accomplishes by the power of God. Would it be different today? No! God continues to fulfill His purpose without the need of human skill, (Proverbs 8:12, 22-23, 30).
3. If God is powerful enough to bring all things into existence by a single word, why hasn’t He yet finished His work in the church? Couldn’t He simply say, “Let the church be built,” and it be done? Yet it was God’s will that the Word that comes from His mouth be received in faith by man, so that it may work effectively. Thus, the Word received in faith becomes powerful for the execution of God’s purpose through the church (1 Thessalonians 2:13b; Ephesians 3:10-11; 1:22).
4. “Through His death and resurrection, Christ brought forth the church. Now He counts on our cooperation in its fulfillment of the second part of God’s commission. Today we are last hour workers, called to cooperate with the Lord to make Christ head over all things” (Eph 1:9-10, 22) (Daily Food, book 4, week 4, Tuesday, p. 58).
