Synopsis: God begins His revelation to man by stating that He created all things. It reminds us of His power and that He is worthy of our worship. Refusal to submit to the Creator leads to moral corruption. All of us have turned away from God in sin, but Jesus died so that we could become new creatures.

“Let all that you do be done with love.”
