2. BIBLE (73)
• The Bible is the account of God's action in the
world and his purpose with all creation. The
writing of the Bible took place over sixteen
centuries and is the work of over forty human
authors. It is a quite amazing collection of 73
books with very different styles all containing
the message God desired us to have.

3. BIBLE
• It is a guide for living life to the full. It gives us a
road map for the perilous journey of life. Or to
put it another way, on our voyage through life's
ocean, we find our anchor right here.
• It is a treasury of insight as to who we are. We are
not meaningless robots, but we are magnificent
creatures of a God who loves us and gives us a
purpose and a destiny.
• It is a sourcebook for everyday living. We find
standards for our conduct, guidelines for knowing
right from wrong, principles to help us in a
confused society where so often "anything goes."

Genesis the first book in the Bible
First Day
• Let there be light,' and there was light. God saw that
the light was good, and he separated the light from the
darkness. God called the light 'day', and the darkness
he called 'night'. And there was evening, and there was
morning, the first day." (Gen. 1:2-5).
• Let there be light in the darkness." God ordered the
earth, which is like a great ball in the heavens, to rotate
once every twenty four hours. That is why we have
about twelve hours of daylight and twelve hours of
night. What a great thing God did on the first day in
separating the light from the darkness!

• Let there be an expanse between the waters to
separate water from water.' So God made the expanse
and separated the water under the expanse from the
water above it. And it was so. God called the expanse
'sky'." (Gen. 1:6-8)
• God created the sky around the earth which we
call the atmosphere. The atmosphere is the sky which
surrounds the world and contains the air we breathe.
That same atmosphere protects everything and
everyone from the heat of the sun and many other
calamities. Without this special sky that God created
on the second day, man could not live on the earth.

• And God said, 'Let the water under the sky be
gathered to one place, and let dry ground
appear.' And it was so. God called the dry ground
'land', and the gathered waters he called 'seas'.
And God saw that it was good. Then God
said, 'Let the land produce vegetation: seed-
bearing plants and trees on the land that bear
fruit with seed in it, according to their various
kinds.' And it was so…And God saw that it was
good. And there was evening, and there was
morning-the third day." (Gen. 1:9-11,13)

stars came into existence in the sky. God
spoke another word, and the earth began to
orbit the sun. He spoke again and the moon
began to orbit the earth.

sea and every living and moving thing with which
the water teems, according to their kinds, and
every winged bird according to its kind. And God
saw that it was good. God blessed them and
said, 'Be fruitful and increase in number and fill
the water in the seas, and let the birds increase
on the earth.' And there was evening, and there
was morning, the fifth day." (Gen. 1:20-23)
