When God Made Something Out Of Nothing—day 1 by FatherCHRISTMAS: 5:13am On Mar 30
Long ago, there was nothing at all. There was no universe, no sky, no sun, no moon, no stars, and no Earth. There was no water. There were no plants, no trees, no animals, and no people. Nothing existed. Nothing at all. Except, of course, God. He has always existed.

God decided that He wanted all these things to come into being. He would take six whole days to make them all, and He would create something different every day for a week. We call this week Creation Week.

‘In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Then 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.

And God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.’
Genesis 1:1–5.

On Day 1 of Creation Week, God made four important things!

Time. You may be surprised to learn that God had to create ‘time’ itself. ‘Before’ then, even time did not exist. Only God existed. He is eternal.
So ‘before’ the beginning (Genesis 1:1), there was no time or …

Space. God had to create space. This was so there would be somewhere for God to put everything after He had created it.
Matter. God also had to create the earth.

To begin with He created the stuff which makes up the earth, and lots and lots of water. God created all this material, and everything else too, from nothing. How could that be? Well, God simply commanded it all to come into being, and it did. His Word is so powerful that this was all that was needed.

At first, the earth was all covered by water, so it wasn’t a molten blob. God’s Spirit was there. Over the next few days His power and energy would make the earth into a beautiful place for animals and people to live. But first God brightened the place up with …

Light. In the beginning, it was very, very dark—inky black—everywhere. So, early on Day 1, having made time, space and matter, God then created light. How did He do this? He just said, ‘Let there be light!’ and there was light. No problem for God. Again, His Word was all that was needed.
This light was not the sun, as God had decided that He would not make the sun until the fourth day. So where did this light come from? The Bible doesn’t tell us what this light source was, but we know it was shining onto the earth to begin with, as the earth rotated. In the new heavens and new earth, God Himself will be the source of light (Revelation 22:5).

If the light was on one side of the earth, then, as the earth turned around, part of it would have been in the light for a while, and part of it would have been in the dark.

God gave names to these two periods of time. He called the light ‘day’, and He called the darkness ‘night’. He had made the first 24-hour day, and a way for us to measure time by.

God said that the light was ‘good’. This means it was a perfect part of God’s plan for creation, and God was pleased with it. He knew that we would need light to see our way around. He knew too that we would also need darkness to help us sleep at night.
