Lesson 9
Sixth Day
of Creation, Part 2
This week we'll be
studying the second half of day 6. Open your Bibles to Genesis
1:26-31.
Genesis 1:26-31 "And
God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of
the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every
creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his
own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he
them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing
that moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have given you
every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every
tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be
for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the
air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life,
I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. And God saw
every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening
and the morning were the sixth day."
Whew! Another
big section! Let's look at it closely now. In verses 26 and 27 we
learn two things: God made man in His own image. Wow! God
made us like Him! One of the ways He made us like Him is that our soul
will live on forever. The other thing we learn from these verses is
that God gave man and woman dominion over ALL things.
The dictionary says
that dominion is: "Control or the exercise of control." So,
God made Adam and Eve to be smarter than the fish of the sea, birds of the
air, cattle and every creeping thing!
The next two verses
say that God blessed them. He told them to multiply (have
children), to subdue the earth (dominate or control it as well), and to
control the animals.
In verses 29 and 30,
God told Adam and Eve that all things were created for them. He
gave the plants for food for us and the animals. Verse 31 says
that God again looked at His creation and called it, "Good."
THINK ABOUT THIS!
Again, on Day 6, God
shows He knows what we need. He had already made the plants on day 3.
He knew we would need the plants for food. Make a list of everything
God made that we needed.

God was getting the
world ready for the best and final creation, a man and his wife!
Adam and Eve were the
first family. Later in Genesis, we learn about their children.
God blessed you with a family who loves you. Take time this week to
give them an extra hug, or a special drawing made just for them. For
family that is out of town, ask your mom or dad to help you mail something
to them. Let them know that they are one of God's blessings to you and
that you love them!
Memory verse for the
week:
Genesis
1:31"And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very
good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day."
Next week: Day 7
and review of God's Good Creation!
