Genesis 1 · Grade 5

The Creator and His Very Good World

Name Date

Read and Think

Genesis 1 opens with a powerful statement: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The Bible does not try to prove that God exists; it begins with Him. God is eternal, and everything else depends on Him.

Notice how God works. On Days 1 to 3 He forms the world: light and darkness, sky and waters, land and plants. On Days 4 to 6 He fills what He formed: lights for the day and night, creatures for the sea and sky, and animals and people for the land. God brings order and fullness, and He does it simply by speaking. His word is powerful.

The high point of the chapter is the creation of people. Only humans are made in God's image, male and female. God blesses them and gives them a job: to fill the earth and care for it under His authority. Every person you meet carries God's image and has great worth. When God finished, He looked at all of it and declared it very good.
