Bible Doctrine Notes
1:3-2:25 GOD, Creator (1.13A)
This passage is the primary account of God’s activity as Creator. The passage does not explain how God created; He simply spoke things into being, from nothing into something. God designed the universe and declared the end result good in His sight.

1:3-2:1 CREATION, Progressive (2.13G)
The act of God’s creation went from the general to the specific, and from simpler to higher complexity. God worked for 6 days and rested on the seventh. Many people contend that the Hebrew term “day” em>yom should be translated as an unspecified unit of time, not a 24 hour period, especially since the sun and moon (which mark off time for us here on earth) were not created until the 4th day. Whether the creation took 6 literal (24 hour) days or a much longer period of time, the important point is that this miraculous creation of the universe was an act of love by a sovereign God. God as an orderly, purposeful Creator is th central emphasis.

1:12,18,21,25,31 CREATION, Good (2.15A)
The recurring phrase of God’s judgement of His creative acts “it was good” shows that all things are under His control. This is not a world of chaos, but of order. The divine assessment “it was good” is in stark contrast to creation accounts from pagan cultures of the world as a dangerous place to be escaped. The Bible’s account shows a good God creating a good world, full of wonderful things for humans to enjoy. God did not create an evil world. Human rebellion lead to the introduction of sin, hardship and pain.
