• text: Ge 1.3-8


• God extended creation over several day in order that we might see His glory more clearly.


• Light is brought into existence before the sun, underscoring that all things come ultimately from God's hand. Though the Lord has created objects like the sun, moon, and stars (vv. 14-19) as its proximate cause, light, just like every other created thing, finds its source in the Lord.


• God tells us what is good and what is evil–not the other way around.


• God himself is the eternal, unchangeable standard of goodness. Whose moral requirements do we follow, ours or God's?
