Summary Bible Genesis: Creation




Genesis starts with: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth".


In this book of Genesis, the word 'God' appear 32 times. From the Bible, we know that our God is a trinity God – not like the idol that people worship on the earth. He said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” ( Genesis 1:26 )


How God created things? God spoke words into creation. He said , "Let’s there be land and sea, animals and plants, sun, moon and stars.” And all these come into existence. He created everything out of nothing. From all these creations, we can imagine the power, the finite wisdom and glory of our God. He created us and as His creatures, we must worship Him. He merits our worship.





It took 6 days for God to create the heavens and the earth and all the host of them. And on the seventh day, God ended his work which he had made and rested on the seventh day.


How man was created? The first man, Adam was made of dust from the ground. But, Adam was lonely, so God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept, and God took one of his ribs and made it into a woman and brought unto Adam to become his wife.


Man was the highest animal that God had created according to His image and likeness. Initially, Adam and Eve had a special and intimate relationship with God.


From the things created around us, we can see that our God is omniscience and omnipotent.


When we study His creation activity, we see that it has a pattern. He created the whole universe and saw that everything that He had created was very good, then he rested because He was satisfied with the completion of a job well done.


From His creation activity, we can follow God’s pattern of work, enjoyment and rest instead of having a hectic life schedule everyday which robs us of humor, peace, joy and rest in life. If we do that, we will be surprised how satisfying life can be.
