Could God have created the world in six days?
I offer some thoughts to consider from the first book of the series HIS STORY
There is much debate about the subject of Creation. It’s worth remembering that The Bible tells us ‘nothing is impossible for God’ (Matt 19:26 / Luke 1:37). Bearing this in mind, it could be possible for Him to create the earth in six days ~ even if this seem implausible to our own natural minds (Prov 3:5).
In the New Testament, Jesus frequently spoke to His listeners with the same notion that this is how God created the world. The Bible tells us that death and decay was not a feature of the original earth but became part of our existence as a result of the fall of mankind (Gen 3). The Apostle Paul in the New Testament also taught that creation was a supernatural event, which was then affected by suffering after the fall.
But God sent His Son Jesus to bring a solution to the need of mankind, which is the main principle that The Bible is trying to teach us. Man needed a Saviour and God sent His Son to redeem that which was lost and provide for a new heaven and earth yet to come, where death and decay will no longer have any place. As we set our hearts and minds and Him, Christ will lead us into victory in life today, in this world, as well as the everlasting to come.
