The Creator Is Savior Too

The Savior Is Creator. He was first Creator of all things.  It is the power of the Creator as described from the very first verse of Scripture to the very last, that is the power which not only created the entire universe, but creates new hearts (the new self/new heart),saves and keeps us. God as Creator has everything to do with God as Savior:
God’s strength, power, and might to us, toward us, and through us to save us and to cause us to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord.

That power which by a mere word created all things in literal 6 days, also delivered us from the domain of darkness, redeemed us, forgave us of our sins, transferred us into the kingdom of Christ, is the same power that Created all things and caused Jesus to be resurrected.

Only the Creator of all things can uncreate anything. It's clear He alone does this from Gen. 1 to Rev. 22. The God of Scripture is not passive. Just as He made all things instantaneously out of nothing by His mere Word, so He creates new hearts instantaneously in Christ. Only the Creator can destroy all He makes, not man. Therefore man cannot make himself "unborn"; he cannot undo what the Creator has down by His dynamic, measureless energy.
Evolution and denial of eternal security are blasphemous.
The Creator-Savior was never passive in Creation nor in salvation, nor in sanctification, nor in destruction of the universe in the End, nor in the making of a new Heaven and Earth.
Col 1:11 May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy,
Col 1:12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.
Col 1:13 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son,
Col 1:14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Col 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
Col 1:16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.
Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 
Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church.
Eph 1:19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might
Eph 1:20 that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places,
Eph 1:21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.
Eph 1:22 And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church,
Eph 1:23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

Col 2:11  In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 
Col 2:12  having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead. 
Col 2:13  And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 
Col 2:14  by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. 
Col 2:15  He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him. 

2Pe 3:4  They will say, "Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation." 
2Pe 3:5  For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, 
2Pe 3:6  and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. 
2Pe 3:7  But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. 
2Pe 3:8  But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 
2Pe 3:9  The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 
2Pe 3:10  But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed. 

Col 1:15  He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 
Col 1:16  For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. 
Col 1:17  And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 
Col 1:18  And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. 
Col 1:19  For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,
