This document provides biblical passages that describe the creation of the heavens, earth, light, day and night, sky, land, seas, and vegetation over six days according to the book of Genesis. It then provides a passage from Hebrews that says faith is understanding that the universe was formed by God's command out of things that are invisible, not things that can be seen. Further passages discuss faith as a title deed, assurance, vision, like a mustard seed, and being sure without doubting. The document explores the nature and meaning of faith through various biblical references.
2. 1In the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth. 2The
earth was without form, and
void; and darkness was on the
face of the deep. And the Spirit
of God was hovering over the
face of the waters.
GENESIS 1:1-2
3.
4. 3 Then God said, “Let there be
light”; and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it
was good; and God divided the
light from the darkness. 5 God
called the light Day, and the
darkness He called Night. [b]So
the evening and the morning
were the first day.
GENESIS 1:3-5
8. 9 Then God said, “Let the waters
beneath the sky flow together
into one place, so dry ground
may appear.” And that is what
happened. 10 God called the dry
ground “land” and the waters
“seas.” And God saw that it was
good.
GENESIS 1:9-10
9.
10. 11 Then God said, “Let the land
sprout with vegetation—every
sort of seed-bearing plant, and
trees that grow seed-bearing
fruit. These seeds will then
produce the kinds of plants and
trees from which they came.”
And that is what happened.
GENESIS 1:11
11. 12 The land produced
vegetation—all sorts of seed-
bearing plants, and trees with
seed-bearing fruit. Their seeds
produced plants and trees of
the same kind. And God saw that
it was good.
GENESIS 1:12

14. 3 By faith we understand that
the universe was formed at
God's command, so that what is
seen was not made out of what
was visible.
Hebrews 11:3
20. 22 Have faith in God. 23 For
assuredly, I say to you, whoever
says to this mountain, ‘Be
removed and be cast intothe
sea,’ and does not doubt in his
heart, but believes that those
things he says will be done, he
will have whatever he says.
Mark 11:22-24
21.
22. For as the body without the
spirit is dead, so faith without
works is also dead.
James 2:26
25. For truly, I say to you, if you
have faith like a grain of
mustard seed, you will say to
this mountain, ‘Move from here
to there,’ and it will move, and
nothing will be impossible for
you.
MATTHEW 17:20
26.
27. 6 But when you ask, you must
believe and not doubt, because the
one who doubts is like a wave of
the sea, blown and tossed by the
wind. 7 That person should not
expect to receive anything from
the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-
minded and unstable in all they do.
JAMES1:6-8
28. NOW FAITH is the substance
[assurance]of things hoped
for, the evidence of things not
seen”
Hebrews 11:1
