It was very good

"Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day." Genesis 1:31

On February 4, 2014, one of the biggest issues around the nation was a debate on creation and evolution. Ken Ham and Bill Nye debated for over 2 hours and the video was streamed live. A lot of people were interested in the debate and I noticed many posts on SNS regarding this video streaming.

The Bible is very clear though. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” The Bible does not assume. It simply states that we are created by God. When you read through the first chapter of the Bible you can see how much God is pleased with His creation. On accounts of each day, you can notice that it says, “And God saw that it was good.”

But did you notice that God does not mention that on the second day? On the second day God divided the water from water, thus making the firmament. And God does not express His impression by saying that it was good. It is because God did not finish His work of dividing the waters. On the third day, God finishes the work of diving the water from water and thus making the land to rise. And after that God saw that it was good. You can see that God is a perfectionist.

However, God was not perfectionist enough until the sixth day. The highlight of creation did not come until this moment, when God created human beings. Once that was done, God said, “Indeed it was VERY good!” Don’t you feel blessed? That is how much God thinks of us. He was happy with the rest of the creation. But God was VERY happy when He created us.
