Genesis 1:1

Genesis 1:1

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

God is the Creator of all things. Nothing exists that He did not make. He was there before the beginning — and He made it all.

Memory phrase: God made everything.

Talk about it: Can you imagine a time when there was nothing at all? Who was there?

Prayer: God, You are amazing. You made the whole world from nothing. Thank You!
