Line Upon Line: Or a Second Series of the Earliest Religious Instruction the Infant Mind Is Capable of Receiving (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Line Upon Line: Or a Second Series of the Earliest Religious Instruction the Infant Mind Is Capable of Receiving

MY dear children - I know that you have heard that God made the world. Could a man have made the world? No; a man could not make such a world as this.

Men can make some things, such as boxes and baskets. Perhaps you know a man who can make a box. Suppose you were to shut him up in a room, which was quite empty, and you were to say to him, You shall come out when you have made a box, -would the man ever come out? No never. A man could not make a box, except he had something to make it of. He must have some wood, or some tin, or some pasteboard, or some other thing. But God had nothing to make the world of. He only spoke, and it was made.

Making things of nothing is called creating. No one can create anything but God.

Do you know why God is called the Creator? It is because he created all things. There is only one Creator. Angels cannot create things, nor can men. They could not create one drop of water, or one little fly.
