The Parish Church of Connersville, Indiana

Question: Did God think it enough to have created all things once, and then to cast off all further care of them afterward?

Answer. No; but just as God has created all things, so He also upholds and governs all things; otherwise all would soon fall into complete ruin.

Scripture Reference: Psalm 75:3, 104:8-9, 145:14-15, and 147:5-6; Col. 1:16-17; Heb. 1:2-3

 

Question. For what purpose do you think that Almighty God has created and does govern all things?

Answer. The world itself was made for man, and all things in it were provided for the use and benefit of man. And just as God has made all other things for man, so He made man himself for His glory.
