Genesis 18:1-15God made a covenant, or promise, to Abraham to give him a son. God promised this to Abraham, but many years passed and Abraham and Sarah still had no son. They had begun to think that they wouldn’t have a son, so God reminded them of His promise that He would give them a child. God is the author of all life and He fulfilled His promise to Abraham and Sarah.
Story:
Creation
God created everything. Everything we see, hear, feel, taste, and that exists was created by Him. Not only did He create everything, but He created everything perfectly, including humanity. He created mankind in His very image and likeness to reflect His worth. All of creation was made just like He wanted and designed it to be. To His delight, God looked at everything He made and declared that it was good. All creation exists for God, is good, and was created to bring Him glory.
