The Creation of the Earth A beautiful home for Heavenly
Father’s children God our Heavenly Father presented the plan of salvation in heaven.
We all shouted for joy!
We would be able to come to earth
to receive a physical body.
While on earth, we would learn to
follow God’s Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Lord created the earth
following God’s instructions.
On the first day, the Lord
separated light from dark.
He called the light day and the
darkness night.
On the second day, He divided the
waters between the clouds in the sky and the oceans on the
earth.
On the third day, the Lord formed
great oceans and dry land.
He named the waters sea and the
dry land earth.
He made the land beautiful with
flowers, fruits, plants, and trees.
On the fourth day, He created the
sun to shine during the day.
Then He created the moon and stars
to shine at night.
On the fifth day, the Lord made
the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky.
He blessed the creatures to
multiply and blessed the fish to fill the waters.
On the sixth day, He created
animals on the land, some that walked and some that crawled.
Man and woman were created in the
image of God.
Heavenly Father told them to care
for each other and have children.
Man and woman were also trusted to
care for the land and animals.
Heavenly Father was happy with
everything They created.
On the seventh day, They rested
from all Their work.
The earth was beautiful and filled
with life.
