IT WAS VERY GOOD

Genesis 1:26-2:3

Key Verse 1:31

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning--the sixth day. 

Read V26-27. What did God decide to do? What does this verse teach us about God and his plan for mankind? (Ps. 139:13-16; 8:1-9) What does it mean that God created mankind in his own image? 

Read V28. How did God bless man and woman? What was the work he had created them to do, and how did he commission them to do it? How does this command establish creation order and give meaning and direction to mankind? 

Read V29-30. How did God provide for the physical needs of mankind doing God’s work? How should man respond to God’s gracious gift? (Ps. 104:14, 27, 31, 33)

Read V31. What does V31 teach us about God and the world he created? About myself? What difference does it make for me to know that God created me for a good purpose? (Eph. 2:10)

Read V2:1-3. What did God do on the seventh day? Why did he bless the seventh day and make it holy? How can we find real rest? (Mt 11:28-29)
