The Creation!


Hello and welcome!

Sharing a Bible Lesson with You!


We are so highly blessed 
to have planet earth that was created 
to sustain us! 
How did it all come to be? 
God created it, Himself! 

Some Bible verses to think about.

In the beginning God created
 the heaven and the earth. 

John 1:3
All things were made by Him, 
and without Him was not anything 
made that was made.

Romans 1:21
For the invisible things of Him 
from the creation of the world 
are clearly seen, 
being understood by 
the things that are made, 
even His eternal power 
and Godhead; so that they are 
without excuse.

Job 26:7
He stretcheth out the north 
So over the empty place, 
and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the firmament shows His handiwork.

10. Day 1- Genesis 1:3a 
Then God said, (remember the Word?)
"Let there be light." 
And there was light!
And God saw the light, that is was good!
(Hold up sign - Good!)

God divided the light from the darkness.
God called the light Day 
and the darkness He called Night. 
So the evening and the morning 
were the 1st day.

12. Day 2 - Genesis 1:6-8
Then God said, 
"Let there be a firmament 
in the midst of the waters, 
and let it divide 
the waters from the waters."
Thus God made the firmament 
and divided the waters 
which were under 
the firmament from the water 
which were above 
the firmament, and it was so.
God called the firmament Heaven.
So the evening and the 
morning were the 2nd day. 

(The firmament is the space or expanse 
between the clouds of mist and the seas. 
Water above and below.)

13. Day 3 - Genesis 1:9-10
Then God said, 
"Let the waters under the heavens be 
gathered together
 into one place and let the dry land appear, 
and it was so.
And God called the dry land earth 
and the gathering together 
of the waters He called seas. 
And God saw that it was good.
(Hold up sign - Good!)

_____________________________________

14. Day 3 Continued - Genesis 2:5-6
Now no shrub of the field was yet in the earth, 
and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, 
for the Lord God had 
not sent rain upon the earth,
and there was no man to cultivate
(work up) the ground. 
But a mist used to rise from the earth 
and watered the whole surface of the ground.

_____________________________________

15. Day 3 Continued - Genesis 1:11-13
Then God said, 
"Let the earth bring forth grass, 
the herb that yields seed,
 and the fruit tree that yields fruit 
according to it's kind,
 whose seed is in itself, 
on the earth, and it was so. 
And the earth brought forth grass, 
the herb that yields seed, 
according to its kind, 
and the tree that yields fruit 
whose see is in itself according to its kind. 
And God saw that it was good. 
(Hold up sign)
So the evening and the morning 
were the 3rd day. 
(The seed would be able to be planted 
and would bring forth new plants.)

____________________________________

16. Day 4 - Genesis 1:14-19
Then God said, 
"Let there be lights 
in the firmament of the heavens 
to divide the day from the night, 
and let them be for signs 
and seasons and for days and years.
And let them be for lights 
in the firmament of the heavens 
to give light on the earth." 
And it was so. 
God created time!! 
___________________________________

17. Day 4 Continued
Then God made 2 great lights. 
The greater light to rule the day
 and the lesser light to rule the night.

_____________________________________


18. Day 4 Continued
He made the stars also!
He counts the number of the stars; 
He gives names to all of them. 
Great is our Lord 
and abundant in strength; 
His understanding is infinite. 
"To infinity and beyond!"

___________________________________

19. Day 4 Continued
God set them (the lights) 
in the firmament of the heavens 
to give light on the earth 
and to rule over the day and over the night 
and to divide the light from the darkness. 
And God saw that it was good. 
(Hold up sign)
So the evening and the morning 
were the 4th day. 

_____________________________________
(So far God has created light, the firmament, the sun, moon, stars, dry land, water, and trees.
Show extra pictures of planets, 
comparing size, plus the Aurora Borealis/Northern Lights.)

20. Day 5 - Genesis 1:20-23
Then God said, 
"Let the waters abound 
with an abundance of living creatures 
and let birds fly 
above the earth across the face 
of the firmament of the heavens."

___________________________________

21. Day 5 Continued
So God created great sea creatures 
and every living thing that moves, 
with which the water abounded, 
according to their kind,

__________________________________

22. Day 5 Continued
...and every winged bird according to its kind. 
And God saw that it was good! (Hold up sign)
And He blessed them saying, 
"Be fruitful and multiply
and fill all the waters in the seas, 
and let the birds multiply on the earth."
So the evening and the morning were the 5th day. 
(A 24 hour day.)

____________________________________

Then God said, 
"Let the earth bring forth (out of the ground) 
the living creature according to its kind: 
Cattle, creeping thing, and beast of the earth, 
(even dinosaurs) 
each according to its kind."
And it was so...
And God saw that it was good! 
(Hold up sign)

____________________________________

24. Day 6 Continued - Genesis 1:26 
Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image 
according to Our likeness
- Us
- Our
- Our
(Remember in picture #5, 
the 3 that share the nature of God? 
They make up the "Us" and "Our" 
that is being spoken of.) 

____________________________________

God made mankind/humans 
different from the animals. 
God gave humans a living soul 
that will live forever! 
(Velcro/tape clear transparency shapes 
from the back of page to the people 
on the front of the page 
to appear like a soul.)

Let them, (male and female) 
have dominion (rule) 
over the fish of the sea, 
over the birds of the air, 
and over cattle, over all 
the earth and over 
every creeping thing 
that creeps on the earth." 

(So humans are made above the animals. 
The first man and woman were made 
on the same day as the animals, 
living together at the same time.) 

___________________________________


25. Day 6 Continued - Genesis 2:7
Genesis 2 tells us the way 
God created the first man/male.
First the Lord God formed man 
of the dust from the ground, 
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; 
and man became a living being. 
(show dirt from ground)

__________________________________


26. Day 6 Continued - Genesis 2:8-9
The Lord God planted a garden 
toward the east, in Eden; 
and there He place the man 
whom He had formed.
 Our of the ground 
the Lord God caused to grow 
every tree that is pleasing to the sight 
and good for food... 

_____________________________________


27. Day 6 Continued 
...the Tree of Life also in the 
midst of the garden, 
and the Tree of the Knowledge 
of Good and Evil. 
The man was put into the garden 
to cultivate it and keep it. 
The Lord God commanded the man, 
saying, "From any tree of the garden 
you may eat freely; 
but from the Tree of the 
Knowledge of Good and Evil 
you shall not eat, 
for in the day that you eat 
from it you will surely die."

(God gave the man a job, 
rules and a choice. 

He gives us the same. 
Have you ever suffered 
consequences for not 
following rules? 
What was the consequences 
if the man ate the forbidden fruit?)


_____________________________________


28. Explanation of - Surely Die
Surely die - The same day he would eat of it he would surely die. 
Not physically in the same day, but spiritually. 

If the man decides to disobey God, 
then this disobedience/sin would come between the man and God. 

When we are separated from God, (the Light) by sin, we die,
 it is called spiritual death

____________________________________

29. Explanation Continued
A flower, when it is separated 
from the light it needs, 
it withers and dies. 
___________________________________

30. Explanation Continued
Sin is defined as missing the mark. 
This disobedience/sin would be a problem between God and the man. 
But God has a plan that would help this sin problem so the relationship between God and whoever sinned could be fixed.
We will learn of this plan in a later lesson.

___________________________________


27. Day 6 Continued - Genesis 2:18-19 
Then the Lord God said, 
"It is not good for the man to be alone; 
I will make him a helper suitable for him."
Out of the ground the Lord God 
formed every beast of the field,
and every bird of the sky, 
and brought them to the man 
to see what he would call them;
and whatever the man called a living creature, 
that was it's name. 
The man gave names to all the cattle, 
birds, and to every beast of the field, 
but for Adam there was not a helper suitable for him. 
(God named the man Adam.)

___________________________________


28. Day 6 Continued - Genesis 2:21
So the Lord God caused a deep sleep 
to fall upon the man, 
and he slept; then He took one of his ribs 
and closed up the flesh at that place. 

___________________________________


29. Day 6 Continued - Genesis 2:22-25
The Lord God fashioned into a woman, 
the rib which He had taken from the man, 
and brought her to the man. 
The man said,
"This is now bone of my bones, 
and flesh of my flesh; 
she shall be called woman 
because she was taken out of man. 

(The man seemed pleased with his gift, 
the woman/helper God had made for him.)

For this reason a man shall 
leave his father and his mother, 
and be joined to his wife; 
and they shall become one flesh. 
And the man and his wife 
were both naked and were not ashamed. 

So God created man in His own image, 
in the image of God He created him. 
Male and female He created them
(This is still the 6th day.)

___________________________________


30. Day 6 Continued - Genesis 1:28-30
Then God blessed them and God said to them, 
"Be fruitful and multiply; (have children)
and fill the earth and 
subdue/tame/have dominion /authority 
over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, 
and over every living thing 
that moves on the earth. 

(Paraphrase of Vs. 29-30)
God told them 
that He had given to them 
herbs and fruit trees for food.
God had also given the herbs 
to every beast of the earth, 
birds, and creeping thing.

__________________________________

I will praise You for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works, 
and that my soul knows very well. 

31. Day 6 Ends - Genesis 1:31
Then God saw everything that He had made 
and indeed it was VERY GOOD. 
(Hold up sign)
So the evening and the morning were the 6th day.

_________________________________


Day 7 - Genesis 2:1-3
Thus the heavens and the earth 
and all the host of them were finished. 
(6 days)
And on the 7th day God ended His work 
which He had done 
and rested on the 7th day 
from all His work which He had done. 
Then God blessed the 7th day 
and sanctified it/made it holy, 
because in it He rested from all His work 
which God had created and made.

__________________________________

Extra thoughts - This 7th day - Saturday - 

that God made Holy, 

(set it apart from other days) 

is later called the Sabbath day, 

a day of rest for those who lived under 

the Law of Moses/Old Law.
