day no. 15,396: out of nothing... everything

Hebrews 11:3
By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.

The doctrine of God's creation of the world is summarized in the phrase creatio ex nihilo, or creation out of nothing. In other words, out of nothing came everything. God did not build the universe out of pre-existing stuffs. Before the world, there were no stuffs. The very things the world is made of had to first be made. 

All that to say, strictly speaking, everything is made out of nothing.

2 Corinthians 4:18
We look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

All that we see is made up of things which cannot be seen. There is an essence of things which cannot be observed under a microscope. Underneath the atoms and particles are the substances out of which those things are made... which is nothing.

Hebrews 1:3a
(Jesus) is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and He upholds the universe by the word of His power.

Everything is made out of nothing. Adam was made from the dust, which came from the earth, which was made by the Word of God. So in that sense, everything hangs on and comes from and continues on by the Word of God. If not for God's Word, there would still be absolutely nothing. So while in one sense, everything is made out of nothing, in another it is more precise even to say that everything is made out of God's Word.

Colossians 1:16-17
For by (Jesus) 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. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

God is everything. In Him are all things. Anything that is, came from Him. Without Him, there is nothing. Out of Him came everything.

John 1:1-3
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him was not any thing made that was made.
