Jesus Christ—God the Son—is the one designated as the Creator in the New Testament.
Colossians 1:16 says "by him were all things created" and Hebrews 1:2 says God made the worlds "by his Son." Les Feldick emphasizes that the Christ of the cross is the same God who created everything in Genesis 1, and that God the Son actually spoke the word that brought creation into existence.
Colossians 1:16 — Directly states that by the Son all things were created, including everything visible and invisible.
Hebrews 1:2 — Says God made the worlds by His Son, expressly naming the Son as the agent of creation.
Colossians 1:15-16 identifies the Son as "the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him." Hebrews 1:2 says God "hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds." These New Testament passages explicitly designate Jesus Christ—God the Son—as the Creator of all things, tying His creative work back to Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
Les Feldick emphasizes repeatedly that Jesus Christ is the Creator God of Genesis 1. He points to Colossians 1 and Hebrews 1 as the New Testament witness that the Son is the One through whom all things were made. Although the Triune God was involved in creation, Les explains that God the Son is the One who actually spoke the Word that caused creation to become a viable act. Les also connects this to the cross: the One who hung on the Roman cross was the Creator who made the wood of the cross and the mountain on which it stood. He insists that Christ is not a created being but the Lord from heaven, the Creator and Sustainer of the universe. For Les, this truth is essential—if Jesus were not the God of glory, He could not have paid the sin debt of every human being. Les even applies the Creator's work to salvation: when someone is in Christ, God does a work of creation and creates a new nature.
Yes. Colossians 1:16 says "by him were all things created," and Hebrews 1:2 says God made the worlds "by his Son." Les Feldick shows that in Colossians 1 the pronoun "him" refers to the Son, proving that the Son is the direct agent of creation.
Les Feldick says the Triune God was involved in creation, but the New Testament tells us that God the Son is the One who spoke the Word that caused creation to happen. In other words, all three Persons were present, but the Son is the designated speaker and agent of creation.
Les says the Christ of the cross is the same God who created everything in Genesis 1. The One who died on the cross created the wood of the cross and the mount on which it was planted. If Jesus were not the God of glory—the Creator—He could not have paid the sin debt of every human being. Les also warns against teachings that make Jesus a created being, because He is the Creator and Sustainer of the universe.
Les uses 2 Corinthians 5:17 to show that the Creator God does a work of creation in the believer. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature." Les says the word "creature" is better translated "a new creation" and that this is God creating a new nature within us.
Colossians 1:15-16 — the Son is the Creator
Les traces the grammar of Colossians 1 to show that "by Him" in verse 16 refers to the Son, proving that all things in heaven and earth were created by Jesus Christ.
Christ of the cross is the Creator
Les states that the Christ of the cross is the same God who created everything in Genesis 1 and that the New Testament constantly gives Him credit as the Creator.
God the Son spoke creation into existence
Les teaches that although all three Persons of the Trinity were involved, the New Testament says God the Son is the One who spoke the Word that made creation a viable act.
Christ is the Creator, not a created being
Les insists from 1 Corinthians 15:47 that the second man is the Lord from heaven—not a created being—and that Jesus is the Creator and Sustainer of the universe.
Personal testimony: Jesus created Genesis 1
Les recounts how people were shocked when he first taught that Jesus Christ was the Creator of Genesis 1—the One who created the wood of the cross and the mountain it was planted on.
Jesus is the Creator and the God of glory
Les explains that Christ, the fleshly manifestation and image of the invisible God, was the Creator of the Old; because He is the God of glory He could pay the sin debt of every human being.
Hebrews 1:2 — the Son made the worlds
Les uses Hebrews 1:2 as one of his key verses showing that Christ was the Creator, since God made the worlds through the Son.
The Creator makes us a new creation
Les applies God's creative work to salvation: when we are in Christ, God the Creator performs a work of creation and gives us a new nature.
Colossians 1:15: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Shows the Son as the visible expression of the invisible God before describing His creative work.
Colossians 1:16: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Directly states all things were created by Him and for Him.
Hebrews 1:2: Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Identifies the Son as the one through whom God made the worlds.
Genesis 1:1: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
The foundational creation account that the New Testament ascribes to the Son.
1 Corinthians 15:47: The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
Contrasts the first man with the Lord from heaven, whom Les calls the uncreated Creator.
2 Corinthians 5:17: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Les uses this verse to show the Creator's work of making believers a new creation in Christ.
The New Testament designates Jesus Christ—God the Son—as the Creator. Colossians 1:16 says all things were created by Him, and Hebrews 1:2 says God made the worlds by His Son. Les Feldick emphasizes this truth throughout his teaching.
Yes. He repeatedly taught that Jesus Christ was the Creator of Genesis 1, and he pointed out that the One who died on the cross created the wood of the cross and the mountain on which it stood.
Les Feldick explains that Jesus could pay the sin debt of every human being only because He is the God of glory. As the Creator, He is not a created being; He is the Lord from heaven.
