Creation of the World

God creates the heavens, the earth, and everything in them over six days, then rests on the seventh.

What Happened

Starting from a formless void, God speaks light, sky, land, seas, plants, stars, animals, and finally humanity into existence. Each day builds on the last, culminating in human beings made in God's image. On the seventh day, God rests — establishing a pattern of work and rest that echoes through the rest of Scripture.

Genesis

The Opening Act

Before anything existed — before light, before life, before you — God spoke. And everything responded. Six days of creative power, building toward the moment he makes the one thing in all creation that carries his image.
