In the Beginning...) Genesis 1 (ESV): Study Packet, Page 6
If students wanted to check their work for this page, here are the answers:
If students wanted to check their work for this page, here are the answers:
- 1. What do the first four words of the Bible tell us?
- - He has always been there, He was not created, He made all things.
- 2. What does God do in order to create?
- - Speak!
- 3. Vv 12, 18, 25) What does God “see” at the end of almost every day?
- - ‘It was good’
- 4. What is created first? Light or the sun? Explain.
- - Light (day 1); Sun (day 4)
- - - Perhaps the 'light' is just energy in general?
- - - Perhaps the light came from God and His presence?
- - - What do you think?
- 5. What were the first animals created?
- - Water Creatures (v20, day 5)
- 6. Is evolution consistent with the creation account?
- - Explain. Nope!
- - - a. The Bible is clear that the earth and ourselves were not an 'accident,' but something God deliberately created!
- - - b. The order of creation does not match the order the theory of evolution would need
- - - c. The 'Day' is emphasized in too main ways! ‘Yom’ is the Hebrew for day which means a literal 24 hour period (although in poetry it could mean something more, as made evident by context), but then it goes further by using 'and there was evening/morning' for each Day, suggesting further these were literal 24 hr periods (Also see Ex 20:11, 31:17); so it didn't take millions/billions of years in the Bible!
- - d. Plants and animals are each made ‘after their kind’ (see verses 11, 12, 21, 24-25); they don’t ‘change kinds’ as evolution would require
- 7. v26) How is man’s creation different from the animals?
- - God created them in His own image and breathed life into them!
- 8. v26) What job is given to man?
- - To rule over fish/birds/livestock/all earth/all creatures that move along ground. Also in 2:15, Tend the garden
- 9) This was covered in the Memory Quiz Prep.
- 10) Is the image of God male or female?
- - Explain. It is 'both;' Genesis 1:27 points out that the word 'Man' references 'them,' male and females
- 11) What is the first command given to mankind? (two parts) (v28)
- - Be fruitful and multiply;
- - Fill the earth and subdue it (Rule over the creation)
- 12) Vv 29-30) What food was given to man & the creatures? What is significant about this?
- - Vegetables were given to eat.
- - At this time no meat was eaten and so nothing was killed!
- 13) v31) What was God's final viewpoint of His creation?
- - It was "Very Good!"
- 1. v2) From what did God rest on the 7th day?
- - All the work He did
- 2. Why do you think God created in 6 days and rested on the 7 (also known as the ‘Sabbath’)?
- - Likely to create a pattern for us!
- - - Think, He could have worked for 19 days and rested on the 20th.
- - - Then we'd have 18 days of school?!?
- - - Instead He showed us that 6 days of work is a healthy amount and set that as a pattern.
- - Also, He showed us the importance of rest
- - - He, the Almighty God of the Universe, chose to rest on the 7th day
- - - Thus setting an example for us to follow in putting rest into our own life.
- - - In Mark 2:27 Jesus tells us, "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath" -- We weren't made to serve the Sabbath, rather, it is to our benefit to rest on the Sabbath!
- - As a side note:
- - - Early Jews had their Sabbath on the 7th day of the week (Saturday).
- - - Early Christians started meeting on Sunday, though, in recognition of Jesus' resurrection from the dead on Sunday
- - - This became known as 'The Lord's Day" (see Acts 20:7 and Revelation 1:10, 1 Corinthians 16:2)
- 3. v7) How was man formed?
- - Out of the dust of the ground; then God breathed life into him! (Wow! What a personal connection God has with us!)
- 4. Describe the place God made for man to live in.
- - The Garden of Eden, filled with everything man would need to survive and live peacefully with God
- 5. v9) What two objects were located in the middle of the garden?
- - Two Objects:
- - - The Tree of Life: Eating it allowed you to live forever
- - - The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil: Eating it gave you knowledge... of good and evil...
- - At this time Adam and Eve did not know evil, only 'good' by obeying and following God)
- - Why would God even put this tree here that would allow Adam and Eve to disobey Him?
- - - Think, if you were a parent...
- - - - Would you build a robot child who would do everything you wanted merely because he/she was programmed to?
- - - - Or would you rather have a real child who chooses to love you on their own freedom?
- - - KEY: God didn't want robots, He wanted people who chose to follow Him
- - - - In order for us to truly have this relationship with God, we had to be able to choose to not follow Him!
- - - - - There are two areas Adam and Eve had a choice to follow God in: Tending the garden and Eating of the bad tree
- - - - - Now days we have many more choices... Make them wisely!
- 6. What was man to do in the garden?
- - Take care of it, tend it.
- 7. v17) What was the one thing man was forbidden to do?
- - Eat of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil
- 8. What would be the consequences for disobedience? Explain. Death!
- - Two types of Death: (we will see this more in the next chapter)
- - - Spiritual Death: Primary problem--We were created to have a spiritual relationship with God, sinning immediately broke this, now we run and hide from God
- - - Physical Death: We would no longer be allowed to eat from the Tree of Life, thus we would die
- - - Social Death: Suddenly they start fighting and blaming each other!
- 9. What did God discover about the man?
- - It was not good for him to be alone! We were made to have a partner. :-)
- 10. What did man do for the animals?
- - Name them (he had a lot of pets!)
- 11. How did God form the woman?
- - What is significant about this? God formed woman from the rib of a man.
- - For the significance of this, see our next Memory Verse Quiz Review.
- 12. v23) Why did Adam react the way he did to the woman?
- - He broke into poetry! (Any of you guys done that when you saw a woman?).
- - He called her woman (Ishshah, in Hebrew), a name closely related to his own title of man (Ish)
- 13. v24) What does this teach us about marriage?
- - Man is to leave his parents and be united with his wife
- 14. v25) Why did the man and woman feel no shame?
- - They had not yet sinned!
- - Though they were naked, they had no sin and didn't feel any shame or embarrassment.
- - When we have shame we want to cover it up and hide it, but since they did no wrong, they didn't have this.
