Genesis 1 Continued

Genesis chapter 1

After God created the lights in Heaven (notice he created light before the sun and moon),  he turns his attention the the creatures above, on and in the earth. He creates these animals then commands them to multiple. How the world must have been different before sin.

When we get to the sixth day we get to the part where he is going to put man in a prepared place. Notice that man wasn't created first. God thought of everything, he created the earth, prepared it for of living things, then put man in it. God created things in the right order for man to enjoy the earth and worship God.

Also notice that God said let 'us' make man. Here is the entire trinity; God who commands, his Word the savior and the Spirit that moved on the face of the deep; it is all here. Also notice that man is not something that evolved by happenstance. God purposely created man, and purposely and intently made man in God's image. We also notice here at the close of the first chapter that God gave the earth and it's fruit for man to use.
