GOD THE CREATOR
Psalm 24:1
 1
The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the
world, and all who live in it;
Genesis 1

1
2
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the
surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the
waters. 3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4
God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the
darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called
"night." And there was evening, and there was morning-the first day.
6 And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to
separate water from water." 7 So God made the expanse and
separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And
it was so. 8 God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and
there was morning-the second day. 9 And God said, "Let the water
under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear."
And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered
waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1

11
Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing
plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according
to their various kinds." And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation:
plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit
with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
13 And there was evening, and there was morning-the third day.
14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to
separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark
seasons and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse
of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so. 16 God made two
great lights-the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to
govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the
expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and
the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it
was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning-the
fourth day. 20 And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures,
and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky."
Genesis 1

21
So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living
and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds,
and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was
good. 22 God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in
number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the
earth." 23 And there was evening, and there was morning-the fifth day.
24 And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to
their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild
animals, each according to its kind." And it was so. 25 God made the
wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their
kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to
their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and
let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the
livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move
along the ground."
Genesis 1

27
So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
28
God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in
number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and
the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the
ground." 29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on
the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in
it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth
and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the
ground-everything that has the breath of life in it-I give every green
plant for food." And it was so.
31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there
was evening, and there was morning-the sixth day.

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let
them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock,
over all the earth, [1] and over all the creatures that move along the
ground." 27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28
God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill
the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the
air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed
into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
