The Creation


Long ago, before the earth and all things in it, there was only God.


On day one , God said, "Let there be light ." God called the light day, and the darkness He called night.


On day two , God made the sky.


On day three , God separated the land from the waters and created flowers, trees, and grass .


On day four ,God made the sun, moon, and stars.


On day five , the birds and fish were created.


On day six , God made animals and then He made people to be like Him. He named the man Adam, and Adam named his wife, Eve.


God rested on day seven . He saw everything He had made and said that it was good.


God made a garden home for the man and woman. It was called the Garden of Eden. He told them they could eat fruit from all the trees in the garden except the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The serpent lied to Eve and she ate of the fruit. She gave some to Adam and he also ate of it. They had not been obedient and they had to leave their beautiful home. After that, they had to work hard and had many troubles.


It is always best to listen to God and do as He says.


* In John Chapter 1 we read that the Word (Jesus) was with God in the beginning and that He was God. This is hard for us to understand, but we do know that Jesus was also the Creator. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that has been made. 
The Spirit of God had a part in the Creation because the Bible says the Spirit of God was "hovering over the waters".
