God did something no one else could ever do. He made the world out of nothing. Each of the six days, God spoke and made a different part of His creation. God saw that everything He made was good. All that He created showed how powerful and amazing He is. Creation gives God glory. God’s glory is His greatness. Jesus is God the Son. Everything was created by Jesus and for Jesus. Jesus gives God glory best of all.

Elementary Discussion Questions
What are some ways creation can teach us about God?
Guide the kids to see that creation is filled with evidence of God’s goodness. Help them consider the order we see in nature, such as complex food webs and ecosystems that balance themselves, or the motions of the planets and stars. Guide them to consider some of the amazing ways our bodies work, like converting the plants and animals we eat into energy or receiving sensory input like light or sound to interpret as color and language. Remind them that the goodness and beauty in nature is a reflection of God’s goodness and beauty.
Why does God deserve all our worship?
Help the kids think about the ways God is more excellent than anything in the world. Help them understand that all the wonderful things the world has to offer are the result of God’s goodness to create a good world. Help them understand that we owe God everything we have because God not only created everything we see, but He created us. Our ability to enjoy creation is a result of His grace and love toward us.
Do you think God wants us to explore and understand His creation?
Help the kids to consider the effects of learning about creation. Encourage them to consider the ways understanding God’s creation has helped people invent new technology. Remind them that God created us and gave us the ability to think logically and examine the world He created. Help them see that studying and understanding the world can be a wonderful way to worship God when we remember that He is the Creator behind everything we can study.
