Genesis 1:24-31
24. And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

26. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in the which is the fruit of every tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food.

30. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for food: and it was so.
31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Day 7 of Creation
Genesis 2:1-3
1. Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
I know that there may be skeptics out there, but let me assure you he is very REAL, and his “word” is not just words written down in a book, it is also real. I have heard, “the bible is a very good collection of stories”. Why yes it is a good collection of stories, but that is not all. It holds TRUE stories, and it is God’s word to us. We see how this world began, learn from the past, learn for the present, and have prophecy for the future. The Bible is God’s instruction manual for life, it is up to us to follow it.
I serve an awesome God who sent his son to die not only for the world, but for you and I. It is joyful to read and learn from the Bible which he has given us. It begins with the creation of the world, which was in 7 days, and ends with the destruction of the world, and God calling his children home. We can see the beauty and Gods touch all around us whether we are Christians or not.
Please do not just take my word for it read his word. If any one should be reading this that has not accepted Jesus Christ as your personal saviour let me leave you with these verses from the bible:
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ dies for us.
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with they mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:13 FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED.
Romans 5:1Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
