6. THE SACRED TEACHING ON THE
SIX DAYS OF CREATION AND A
DAY OF REST

7. In the Creation Narrative, there is the
revelation of God: (a) the One who creates,
the Creator; (b) the powerful Word by which
everything is created; and (c) the mighty
Spirit (or Wind) that gives order to chaos. In
the proper time, the Creator, the Word, and
the Spirit of God shall present themselves as
the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit,
the three Persons in one God, respectively.
GOD IN THREE PERSONS

8. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and

MATTHEW 28:18

10. God created everything from nothing. This
destroys the principle, "Ex nihilo, nihil fit," "Out
of nothing, nothing can be made." Thus, only
God can make this possible. God made them
all good, for nothing made by God is evil.
It is God's capacity as a divine being to have
created the world out of nothing. His divinity
speaks of unlimited powers way beyond the
capability of human beings. God is limitless
and boundless.
EX NIHILO

11. To have dominion is not equivalent to abuse.
To be given the power of dominion is
tantamount to "being entrusted" with
something. It is different from "owning." We
are dealing with the "principle of stewardship,"
where everything is entrusted to man as a
"caretaker" of all creation.
MAN AS STEWARD

12. It has been said that "Man is the highest
among the creations of God." A human being
is singled out as the only creature created in
the image and likeness of God.
MAN’S DIGNITY

13. Six days of creation and a day to rest. Keep it
holy.
