God Created the World and People

 

 

Parents,

 

        I am so excited about the kickoff of The Gospel Project! This week we began a three-year chronological study of Scripture. Each week's study will build upon the previous week, and I can't wait to watch as boys and girls discover the big picture of God's story.

 

God's story begins with creation. This week we learned what God made during the six days of creation - from light and stars to birds and people! Everything God made is good. Have you ever wondered why butterflies exist or why the sky explodes with vivid color when the sun sets? The Bible says all things were created for Jesus (Colossians 1:16-17)

 

We also found out that God didn't just create people for no reason. He created people with a purpose: to know, love and glorify Him. Colossians 1:15-22 reveals that Christ is ruler over all of God's creation. All of creation was created by Him, through Him, and for Him. It's all about Jesus! Everything was created to give glory to God, but people would choose not to give Him glory. The rest of the Bible reveals how Jesus would restore the relationship between God and man.
