In Article 12 of the Belgic Confession, we confess the work of God regarding the creation of this earth and the creation of the angels. Creation is the first of God’s works revealed to us in Scripture. What was God’s purpose in making the world? God created the world for the sake of His praise and His glory. It is for the sake of God’s praise that each creature has been made the way it is. God did not just create the physical, visible world, but also that which is invisible, for example, the angels. The Bible speaks of two kinds of angels: those that are good, called angels, and those that are bad, called demons.
