Genesis is the first book of the bible, and shows how God created and shaped this world. There is so much information in this great book, but there are specifics on our world, identity, relationships, and civilization itself. I will be correlating not only what Genesis says about these things, but also what they do for me in my day-to-day life in which I try to live as Christ has called me.
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1 ESV). The first sentence shows how it all started with God creating not only the heavens, and also our natural world in which we live in today. God created this world in his vision, and seamlessly wove it together. In the book of Genesis it talks about how God created literally everything from the stars in the sky to the waters in the oceans. In the first moments of this book we read how God creates light, darkness, day and night, Heaven, dry land, seas, vegetation, seasons, the sun and moon, living creatures, and then in His own image he created the man and woman. Genesis teaches us that God created everything we know today God created in six days! It teaches that God created our natural world in his image, and that He saw it all was good after which he then rested the seventh day. There are many worldviews on how the world even came about, but I believe the book of Genesis tells it best by showing us how God merely breathed and everything was created.
“So God created a man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27 ESV).

With people having so many ideas of where mankind originated it is important to look to this truth in the very first book of the bible. Human image was created by God from his own image, thus from the very beginning showing that human image was created
