Faith Q&A › Catechism › 14. Science and Faith

Did God rest from His work for humanity after the days of creation?

The answer

God, who worked to present us with this world for our benefit, is the Creator who will continue working unceasingly. What He began, He will not cease. God Himself continues to work in the lives of humanity to make of us a new heaven and a new earth, wherein righteousness dwell. Concerning this, the Lord Christ says, “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working” (John 5:17). That is why in our interpretation here, we want to sense the continuous work of God in our inner lives, that He may continue to create within us without ceasing, renewing our depths.
