“Earth Was Created by the Power of His Word”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

“The principle of power which existed in the bosom of God, by which the worlds were framed, was faith; and ... it is by reason of this principle of power existing in the Deity, that all created things exist; so that all things in heaven, on earth, or under the earth exist by reason of faith as it existed in Him.” (Lectures on Faith 1:15; cf. 7:2. See also Moses 1:32.)
