The Gospel: Creator

God "...made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."
Gen 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."  Check.  But it was not until the second day that God called heaven "Heaven."  And it was not until the third day that God called the dry land "Earth" and the waters "Seas."  And what about the fountains of waters?
Fountains of waters usually refers to fresh water, as opposed to sea water that is salty. God has turned "...the flint into a fountain of waters."  Psalm 144:8. Jeremiah 17:13 refers to the LORD as "...the fountain of living waters." And in the new heaven God "...will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely." Rev 21:6. 
What that says to me is that God is not only the creator of what we can see, but also of life and He is the sustainer of life for eternity.  In other words, He is worthy of our worship.
