Q and A #2 with Sunday School Class

Q. Day 1 of Creation says God created light.
What are the waters the Spirit was hovering over in Genesis 1:2?

A. First we took a look at a couple of verses in other parts of the Bilbe to show that nothing is here that hasn't been created by God.

• John 1:1-3 clearly states all things were made by God and without God nothing has been made. 
• Hebrews 11:3  acknowledges we need faith, but that we understand that all things were made by the word of God, not by other things that already were. I think this is a great anti-evolution Scripture. Birds did not come from something that was already seen such as dinosaurs like the evolutionists believe. 
• Colossians 1:16 again clearly states ALL things whether we see them or not have been created by God We talked about what we can't see (air), but also the angels, love, joy..

 Once we established that God indeed created all things, nothing was that has not been created by God, we went through Genesis 1:1-5 (Day 1) and wrote down everything we could find that was created that day.

Here's the Scripture. What do you find?

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ² 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.

Here's what the class found:

• heaven
• earth
• darkness
• water
• light
• day
• night
• time 

 One student wondered about words. Did He create words because He spoke?
