Origin: Genesis 1-2 in the Bible
In the beginning, before anything else existed, there was only God. God was loving, powerful, and wise. He decided to create a beautiful world filled with amazing things.
On the first day, God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. He separated the light from the darkness, calling the light “day” and the darkness “night.”
On the second day, God created the sky. He made it stretch high above the earth, like a giant blue blanket covering everything below.
On the third day, God separated the water from the dry land. He called the dry land “land” and the gathered waters “seas.” Then, God made plants, trees, and flowers to cover the land, filling it with color and life.
On the fourth day, God created the sun to shine during the day and the moon to glow at night. He also made the stars, scattering them across the sky like glittering diamonds.
On the fifth day, God filled the seas with all kinds of fish and creatures, and He filled the sky with birds of every kind. The seas and the skies were now bustling with life and movement.
On the sixth day, God created animals to roam the land. He made big animals like elephants and lions, and small animals like rabbits and birds. Then, God made something very special. He created humans, Adam and Eve, in His own image. He blessed them and gave them the responsibility to take care of all the plants and animals on the earth.
Finally, on the seventh day, God rested. He looked at everything He had made and saw that it was very good.
And so, children, God created the world and everything in it out of love. He made each and every one of us special and unique. Just like God rested on the seventh day, we too should take time to rest and enjoy the beautiful world He has given us.
