--The Doctrine of God Is Based on Creation

“What is God like?” is a significant question. However, “Who is God?” is the more important question. Christians assert that God is the creator, but a more accurate statement is that the creator of everything is God. The principal way God chose to identify Himself was as the cause of all things—“In the beginning God created.”

The very name “God” designates a position of rank or status of one who surpasses everything. We conceive of the highest being by reckoning that He is the ultimate source, or cause, of everything. He has always existed, and all things owe their very existence to Him. The creation of the ultimate “effect,” the universe itself, is fundamentally necessary to establish the ultimate cause—the reality of God.

-The Deity of Christ Is Based on Him as Creator

The creator of everything is God. So, the Lord Jesus Christ is Himself God, since the Bible identifies Him as the creator:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. (John 1:1-3)
