ALL the good things we have come from God. He made the sun to give us light by day, and the moon and stars so we can have some light at night. And God made the earth for us to live on.
But the sun, the moon, the stars and the earth were not the first things God made. Do you know what was the first? God first made persons like himself. We can’t see these persons, just as we can’t see God. In the Bible these persons are called angels. God made the angels to live with himself in heaven.
The first angel God made was very special. He was God’s first Son, and he worked with his Father. He helped God to make all other things. He helped God to make the sun, the moon, the stars and also our earth.
What was the earth like then? In the beginning no one could live on earth. There was nothing but one big ocean of water all over the land. But God wanted people to live on earth. So he began to get things ready for us. What did he do?
Well, first the earth needed light. So God made the light from the sun to shine on the earth. He made it so there could be both nighttime and daytime. Afterward God caused land to come up above the water of the ocean.
At first there was nothing on the land. It looked like the picture you see here. There were no flowers or trees or animals. There were not even any fish in the oceans. God had a lot more work to do to make the earth really nice for animals and people to live on.
Kuwento 1: Ang Diyos ay Nagsimulang Gumawa
LAHAT ng mabuting bagay na nasa atin ay galing sa Diyos. Ginawa niya ang araw para magliwanag kung araw, at ang buwan at mga bituin para magliwanag kung gabi. Ginawa din niya ang lupa para tirahan natin.
Pero hindi ito ang mga unang ginawa ng Diyos. Alam mo ba kung alin ang una? Ginawa muna niya ang mga anghel. Hindi natin sila nakikita, kung paanong hindi natin nakikita ang Diyos. Ginawa niya ang mga anghel para tumirang kasama niya sa langit.
Ang unang anghel na ginawa niya ay espesyal. Tinulungan niya ang Diyos sa paggawa ng iba pang mga bagay, pati na ang lupang ito.
Ano ang hitsura ng lupa noon? Noong una walang puwedeng mabuhay sa lupa. Lahat ay natatakpan ng tubig. Kaya inihanda ng Diyos ang lupa para sa atin. Ano ang ginawa niya?
Buweno, una’y pinarating ng Diyos sa lupa ang liwanag na nagmumula sa araw. Kaya nagkaroon ng araw at gabi. Pagkatapos ay pinalitaw ng Diyos ang lupa sa ibabaw ng tubig.
Sa umpisa ay walang laman ang lupa. Kamukha ito ng larawang nakikita mo dito. Wala pang mga bulaklak, puno o hayop. Wala pa ring mga isda sa dagat. Marami pang dapat gawin ang Diyos.
