God never created anything out of nothing, but His creation, such as are perceived by and known by man, were merely the change or composition of what had already existed, and always will exist as elements, though there will undoubtedly be changes in form and appearance and in constituent elements in their relation to one another.
Now, the earth did not always have an existence, as an earth, and neither did the firmament and the great galaxy of planets and stars, but they were not created out of nothing, and neither was there chaos, for in God's economy of being there is never any chaos, which if it should be, would mean the absence of the working of His laws and harmony.
But the earth and the firmament were created - at one time they had no existence as such, and at a coming time they may cease to have such existence. And this creation was in an orderly way, according to design, with no elements of change entering into it; and such creation was not through what your wise men may call accretion or evolution- that is self evolution- for every new or additional exponent of growth or manifestation of increase was the result of God's laws, which he operated in the creation of the creature.
Man, in his creation was from the beginning made perfect, with the exception of Divinity and Immortality. Man was created the perfect man. His physical body was perfect, and also his spiritual body and his soul.
Man in his creation, had bestowed upon him appetites and desires pertaining to his physical nature, as well as desires of his higher or spiritual nature, and they were all intended to work in harmony and not in antagonism, and in such workings, man was kept pure and free from sin - which is merely the violation of God's laws of harmony. But after the first disobedience, which in the greatest demonstration of the power of man to exercise that will, even when God forbade him not to do so, and after man lost this great potentiality, succeeding disobedience become easier.
But as man on earth continued to degenerate and to permit, what is sometimes called his animal nature to dominate his spiritual nature, many men died and continue to die , and their physical bodies went back to the dust of which they were created, and their spiritual selves became inhabitants of the spirit world, where they were freed, in a larger or shorter time, from the desires to exercise these animal appetites and the spiritual part of man again asserted itself, until many of these spirits became free from sin and evil and in harmony with the laws of God, controlling their natures and conditions as they existed before their degeneracy and before the disobedience commenced.
As a man progresses in the spirit world, he learns that there is an even greater possibility than just developing his spiritual self and soul to its original purity and that is to obtain God's Divine Love bestowed upon him. God's Divine Love takes the soul to the Celestial heaven that is above the spirit world. Man in the Celestial heaven partake of the essence of God, His Divine Love and immortality. There is no guarantee that a spirit in the spirit world will have immortality bestowed on him, and the opportunity to be in the Celestial heaven without God's Divine Love in him because at some point, the Celestial heaven will be closed to him.
In order for man to have God's Divine Love bestowed upon him is very simple, men shall believe with all the sincerity of their minds and souls that this Great Love of the Father is waiting to be bestowed upon each and all of them, and that when they come to the Father in faith and Ernest aspersions, this love will not be withheld from them, and in addition to this belief, pray with all the earnestness and longing of their soul that He open their souls to the inflowing of God's Divine Love, and that then may come to them the Holy Spirit to bring this Love into their souls in such abundance that their souls may be transformed into the very Essence of the Father's Love.
Jesus mission taught the transformation of man's soul from the image of God - the work of the original creation of man - into the very essence of God through the bestowal of the Father's Love upon whosoever should seek that Love in Ernest longing. This was the Good News that Jesus taught along with moral and ethical conduct.

Before I get to the creation of man, I want to say a few words about the Holy Spirit.
