Why do we cherish God as the Creator of all things?

Since we proclaim through the Creed that God is our Creator, we ought to hold fast to Him and so live according to His holy will, as we journey on our way to His divine embrace. St. Cyril the Great says, “For the difference of creator and creature, of unbegotten [that is, without beginning] and begotten [that which has a beginning], of a nature under the yoke and slavery and a nature bedecked with the dignities of the master and possessing divine and supramundane glory is inestimable.”³⁰⁰ God may be known through His works.

St. Basil the Great says, “Let us glorify the supreme Artificer for all that was wisely and skillfully made; by the beauty of visible things let us raise ourselves to Him who is above all beauty; by the grandeur of bodies, sensible and limited in their nature, let us conceive of the infinite Being whose immensity and omnipotence surpass all the efforts of the imagination.”³⁰¹
