GOD’S OPERATING SYSTEM
• Genesis 1:1-28 (NLT)
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered
the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over
the surface of the waters.
3 Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
4 And God saw that the light was good. Then he separated
the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” And
evening passed and morning came, marking the first day.

Then God said, “Let there be a space between the waters, to separate
the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth.”
7 And that is what happened. God made this space to separate the
waters of the earth from the waters of the heavens.
8 God called the space “sky.” And evening passed and morning came,
marking the second day.
9 Then God said, “Let the waters beneath the sky flow together into one
place, so dry ground may appear.” And that is what happened.
10 God called the dry ground “land” and the waters “seas.” And God
saw that it was good.

Then God said, “Let the land sprout with vegetation—every sort of
seed-bearing plant, and trees that grow seed-bearing fruit. These seeds
will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came.”
And that is what happened.
12 The land produced vegetation—all sorts of seed-bearing plants, and
trees with seed-bearing fruit. Their seeds produced plants and trees of
the same kind. And God saw that it was good.
13 And evening passed and morning came, marking the third day.
14 Then God said, “Let great lights appear in the sky to separate the day
from the night. Let them mark off the seasons, days, and years.
15 Let these lights in the sky shine down on the earth.” And that is what
happened.

GOD’S OPERATING SYSTEM

God made two great lights, the sun and the moon—the
larger one to govern the day, and the smaller one to govern
the night. He also made the stars.
17 God set these lights in the sky to light the earth,
18 to govern the day and night, and to separate the light
from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 And evening passed and morning came, marking the
fourth day.

Then God said, “Let the waters swarm with fish and other life. Let the skies
be filled with birds of every kind.”
21 So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that scurries and
swarms in the water, and every sort of bird—each producing offspring of the
same kind. And God saw that it was good.
22 Then God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply. Let the fish fill the
seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.”
23 And evening passed and morning came, marking the fifth day.
24 Then God said, “Let the earth produce every sort of animal, each producing
offspring of the same kind—livestock, small animals that scurry along the
ground, and wild animals.” And that is what happened.
25 God made all sorts of wild animals, livestock, and small animals, each able
to produce offspring of the same kind. And God saw that it was good .

Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like
ourselves. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky,
the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals
that scurry along the ground.”
27 So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God
he created them; male and female he created them.
28 Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the
earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky,
and all the animals that scurry along the ground.”

Genesis 2:18-23 (NKJV)
18 And the LORD God said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him
a helper comparable to him."
19 Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of
the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever
Adam called each living creature, that was its name.
20 So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the
field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.
21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He
took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
22 Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman,
and He brought her to the man.
23 And Adam said: "This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall
be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man."

and that you love them as much as you love me.
