Q098
Is not this section of the Creed taken from Holy Scripture?
The Creed teaches precisely what the book of Genesis revealed, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Gen 1:1; see Q092, Q537).
The Apostle Paul, speaking of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, says:
He is the image (icon) of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For in him all things were created, in the heavens and on earth, things visible and invisible, thrones, dominions, principalities and powers; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. (Col 1:15–17)
