“Creation”
LONG STORY SHORT
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
1. GOD IS ALL POWERFUL.
Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal
power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been
made, so that people are without excuse.
Revelation 4:11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and
power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their
being.”
2. GOD IS RELATIONAL
Genesis 1:26-27 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so
that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and
all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
(27) So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
Genesis 1:28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill
the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over
every living creature that moves on the ground.”
Genesis 2:15-17 The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to
work it and take care of it. (16) And the LORD God commanded the man, “You are free
to eat from any tree in the garden; (17) but you must not eat from the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”
Genesis 3:8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was
walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the
trees of the garden.
