In the New Testament explains that it is through and for Jesus that the world is created.
(Also see ; ; ; and )
Verse 2 then explains the condition in which God begins a series a sayings to create the world.
Creation is not God.
On its own without God the earth is formless and void and dark.

Verse 3 How does God overcome the chaos?
By speaking His Word.
There are several other passages throughout Scripture that speak to the creation of the world by the Word of God (see ; , , and ) Then God said let there be light.
indicates that God is light, therefore how does God overcome the chaos?
Himself.
The world is not God it is separate from Him and chaotic without Him and yet He overcomes it by speaking Himself into creation.
Literally “Let there be Me.”
Verses 4-25 Again you have the pattern as presented above, God speaks and creation obeys.
God creates everything ‘according to their kind’ meaning there is no evolution from one thing into a different thing.
2. God is King over His creation.
3. Creation submits to the authority of God.
