God's Words Shape Reality

God's words have the power to shape reality and reveal his nature and desires. Just as human words express their mind and character, God's words express who he is. Through his words, we can observe a reality about God that we could not have otherwise known. The connection in Genesis emphasizes that God desires relationship and overlap with his creation. He not only creates with his words but uses them to relate and connect with Adam and Eve. God's words have both power and purpose, as they show us who he is and what he desires.
