The Creation of the World

Genesis 1:1-25                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Lesson 1
Key Verse 1:1

1. Memorize 1:1. What does this verse mean? (Ps 90:2; 102:25-27) Why is it important for us to know that God created all things? (Isa 44:24) Read verse 2. What was the state of things before God spoke? What does it mean that the earth was formless, empty and dark? (Ps 104:30)


2. By what instrument did God create the world? (Heb 11:3) How many times do you find the phrases "and God said...and it was so"? What does this suggest about God? About his word? (Ps 33:6-9; Col 1:16; Jn 1:1-3)



3. Describe what God did each day. What is the relationship between each day? Think about the character of God who created light. (2Co 4:6; Jn 1:4) How did this prepare an environment for animals and man? (Ps 104:14, Isa 45:18)


4. Notice other repeated phrases: "And there was evening and … morning ..." "according to their kinds", "and God saw that it was good", etc. What do these phrases tell us about God? (Ps 19:1-6; 104:24-33) About the world he created?
