What does the Bible say about creating the world in 7 days?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches that God freely, wisely, and powerfully created the heavens and the earth, ordering all things by his word in six days and resting on the seventh. Genesis 1:1-31 presents God as the sovereign Creator who calls light, sky, land, living creatures, and humanity into being, declaring his work good. Men and women are uniquely made in his image and given responsibility to exercise faithful dominion over creation. Exodus 20:11 grounds the Sabbath pattern in God’s own work and rest, calling his people to worship, trust, and holy rest. Creation therefore displays God’s glory, goodness, wisdom, and rightful authority over all he has made.
