Junior Learner s Manual September 7, 2014 1 Instant Creation Lesson Objective Bible Principle Parallel Passage I will know God spoke the universe into existence. God created the universe by the power of His Word. The God Who Made the Universe Acts 17:22-31 Memory Verse: God... made the world and all things therein. Acts 17:24 And God Said Genesis 1:3, 6, 9, 11, 14, 20, 24, 26, 29 God created the world and everything there is. God created the angels before He created the planets. Earth is one of the planets. Genesis 1:1 teaches God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:2, And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. God is the Creator who could and did create the world from nothing. And God said is used nine times in Genesis chapter 1. This shows what a mighty God we have. Those three words were all that was necessary for Him to say for the world, as we know it, to be formed. This took God six days to perform. Day 1 He created day and night. Day 2 He created the heaven. Day 3 He created Earth with plants, herbs and grass. He made these to reproduce. Day 4 the sun, moon and stars became visible. Day 5 He placed animal life in the waters. Day 6 God created land animals and man, who was made in His image, and placed them on the Earth. After each day of creating, God saw it was good. Everything God created was good. It was not until man and his sin that anything bad was in this world. We have many powerful tools we use today to create but none can compare to God and what He created in six days. Builders can build tall buildings. Large planes are built that fly around the world. Computers can process information at an unbelievably fast rate. We can be amazed by all of this. However, none of it can compare to what God did. None of this could be done if God had not first created the heaven and the earth. 3 Lesson 1

Time in My World Over six thousand years have passed since God created Adam. Time moves or flows from the future into the present, from the present into the past. The time line below shows the approximate time people lived in Bible history until Jesus came to die for the sins of the world and to the present. Over two thousand years have passed since Jesus came to Earth. Time before Jesus came to Earth is labeled B.C. before Christ. Time after Jesus came is labeled A.D. anno Domini, in the year of our Lord. It does not mean after death.
