Meta Description

“Learn how God encourages us to be creative in this Primary 5 Christian Religious Studies lesson. Explore the significance of creation as a sign of God’s love for man.”

God made us and also wants us to be creative, just like He was when He created everything.

In the very beginning, God made the sky and the earth. His spirit moved over the waters.

Then, God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. This made the first day, with day and night.

The creation story goes like this:

• On the first day, God created light.
• On the second day, He made the sky.
• On the third day, God created the dry land, seas, plants, and trees.
• On the fourth day, He made the sun, moon, and stars.
• On the fifth day, God created creatures in the seas and birds that fly.
• On the sixth day, He made animals on land and us, humans!
• On the seventh day, God rested from His work, taking a break.

So, God’s amazing creativity made the world, and He wants us to use our creativity too! 🎨✨
