Story 2: Creation ♫

Genesis 1:1-25

The Story:

• In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. He did this through the power of His word as He said, “Let there be…” (Genesis 1:3,6).
• God created light and separated the light from the darkness.
• God then created the atmosphere, the clouds, and the sky.
• God created the water, dry land, plants, and then the sun, moon, and stars.
• God created the birds, fish, and animals on the earth. And God blessed them [sea creatures and winged birds] saying, “be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters and the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” (Genesis 1:22).
• God created mankind in His image, both male and female. God gave control of the earth to them and commanded that they multiply. He also told them to take care of and control all the things He had made.
• Being done with creation on the 7th day, God rested.

How did God create the heavens and the earth and why?
