"Genesis"
means "origin." The book of Genesis tells us the origin
of the universe and especially about the origin of Earth, the home
of mankind. The creation account begins with a dark and lifeless
state into which God speaks. At the Word of God, there is light!
The second day, God made the sky and separated the seas from the
dry land. On the third day, God created
the vegetation for
the Earth - grasses, seed bearing plants and trees. On the fourth
day, God placed the lights in the heavens to serve the Earth. The
sun lit the daytime and the moon lit the night. Countless stars
and nebulae came into being. On the fifth day, God filled the
Earth with life. He created life in the seas and in the air and on
the land. The crowning glory of His creation occurred on the sixth day and is the creation of Man (both male and
female), into whom He breathed His
spirit. Thus, the heavens and the earth, and all that lived in
them were completed. On the seventh day, His work completed, God
rested.
