Introduction to Bible Lesson

Each one of us is very special to God. Before we were created, God loved us so much that he created this special world for us. He thought about everything we would ever need and included it in the world he made.

What did God create on the first day? (light)

What did God create on the second day? (sky)

What did God create on the third day? (land, plants, trees, flowers)

Did God see that it was good or bad? (God saw that it was good)

Let’s find out what happened on the fourth day of creation.

Bible Lesson

Our Bible lesson today comes from the very first book of the Bible. This book is called Genesis. Genesis chapter 1: 14-19 says:

“God said let there be lights in the huge space of the sky. Let them separate the day from the night. Let them serve as signs to mark off the seasons and the days and the years. Let them serve as lights in the huge space of the sky to give light on the earth.” And that’s exactly what happened. God made two great lights. He made the larger light to rule over the day. He made the smaller light to rule over the night. He also made the stars. God put lights in the huge space of the sky to give light on the earth. He put the there to rule over the day and the night. He put them there to separate light from darkness. God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning . It was day 4.”

God loved us so much that he planned this special world for us. On day one he gave us light so that we could see. On day 2 he gave us air so that we could breath. On day three he gave us land to walk on and plants so we could eat. On day 4 God gave us the sun, moon and stars so that we could tell seasons and time. He was making this world specifically for you and for me. Without these special gifts, we would not be able to see or breathe or walk or eat or tell time.
