How do we know God's continual agency is necessary for creation?
Answered in 1 source
God's continual agency is necessary because the existence and operation of creation depend entirely on His sustaining power.
The necessity of God’s continual agency is implied in the understanding that if God withdrew His power, nothing would continue to exist as it currently does. Acts 17:28 states, 'For in him we live and move and have our being,' emphasizing that our very existence is contingent upon God’s active engagement. The analogy given shows that even natural laws require God’s intervention to maintain order; without God's sustaining power, creation would not operate according to his design. Thus, every moment of existence is a testament to God's unyielding sovereignty and providential care.
