Some theological reflections Genesis 1:1-31 ESV

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. And God 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.

Amos 4:13 ESVFor behold, he who forms the mountains and creates the

wind, and declares to man what is his thought, who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the heights of the earth— the Lord, the God of hosts, is his name!

Psalm 19:1 ESVTo the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare

the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.

Genesis 1:27 ESVSo God created man in his own image, in the image of God

he created him; male and female he created them.
