Genesis 1:3
“Then God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light.”
This verse opens the biblical narrative of creation, portraying God's act of creating the world. It is part of the first chapter of Genesis, which describes the cosmic order coming into being through a series of divine pronouncements and acts, setting the stage for the story of humanity.
If creation itself began with a word, how does that change how we understand the potential and responsibility embedded in our own language?
