“And God said, Let there be…” and it was so (Genesis 1:3,6,9,11,14,20,24, 26). With such words, our world was created. With such words, matter came into existence.

Under the Mosaical Law those who accidentally caused the death of another could flee for safety to one of six cities of refuge. Today, the sinner has his “city of refuge” in Christ.
