Paragraph 4. THE CREATOR
295
We believe that God created the world according to his wisdom.141 It is
not the product of any necessity whatever, nor of blind fate or chance. We believe
that it proceeds from God’s free will; he wanted to make his creatures share in
his being, wisdom and goodness: “For you created all things, and by your
will they existed and were created.”142 Therefore the Psalmist
exclaims: “O LORD, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made
them all”; and “The LORD is good to all, and his compassion is over
all that he has made.”143 God creates “out of nothing”
