What does the Bible say about creation ex nihilo?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God created the heavens and the earth out of nothing, as stated in Genesis 1:1.

The concept of creation ex nihilo, or creation out of nothing, is clearly stated in Genesis 1:1, 'In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.' This indicates that there was no pre-existing material, and God created everything by His sovereign will. The Scripture affirms this by emphasizing that God did not need to consult anyone or anything but acted solely based on His own desires and purposes. In this act of creation, we see the sovereignty and power of God on display, revealing His authority over all things and establishing a foundation for the gospel message embedded within creation itself.
