What happened on each of the days of creation?
Here's the answer:
God made something new and special on each of the days of creation.
God created the world from nothing. You can read about it in Genesis chapters 1 and 2. Here’s what God created on each of the seven days of creation:
Day 1: God created the heavens (outer space) and the earth. He also created day and night by separating the light from the dark.
Day 2: God created the sky and the atmosphere that surrounds the earth.
Day 3: God created the dry land. Now the earth was divided between the dry land and the water. On this day He also created plants—big ones and small ones.
Day 4: God created the stars, sun, and moon. The sun gives light during the day and the moon reflects the sun at night.
Day 5: God created all the fish and other water creatures. He also made birds and bugs that fly.
Day 6: God creates all the animals that live on dry land. He also created the first man as a special creation. He told man that he is supposed to care God’s creation. When God’s creation was complete, He announced that it is very good!
Day 7: God rested. By doing this, God set an example to us of the importance of rest.
