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)

                        What did God create on the fourth day? (sun, moon, stars)

                        What did God create on the fifth day? (fish, birds)

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

                        Let’s find out what happened on the sixth 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: 24 – 27 says:

“God said Let the land produce all kinds of living creatures. Let there be livestock, and creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals. Let there be all kinds of them. And that’s exactly what happened. God made all kinds of wild animals. He made all kinds of livestock. He made all kinds of creatures that move along the ground. And God saw that it was good. Then God said, Let us make man in our own likeness. Let them rule over the fish in the waters and the birds of the air. Let them rule over the livestock and over the whole earth. Let them rule over all of the creatures that move along the ground.

So God created man in his own likeness. He created them in the likeness of God. He created them as male and female. And God blessed them.”
