Your kids have likely heard the creation account several times.
It is a basic doctrine, though it is not officially identified as such in the
A.G. 16 Fundamental Truths. We believe God created the universe. Genesis
1 & 2 tell us how life and the world began. It is important to
include this teaching in our system of beliefs because others will teach the
children that life arose by chance from non-life rather than by the Word of
God. It is also very important that our kids understand the biblical
account of creation lest they pick up the false notion that God created a world
of death and disease and is thus somehow responsible for evil.
The story of the creation of the world is also a story about man’s
falling from God’s will. Adam and Eve (two literal people) took a wrong
turn at the beginning of their journey, thus putting all people on a route
leading to destruction and by their free will brought evil into God’s perfect
creation. Only God in His great love could provide a plan to lead people
back to the right road.
