Genesis 1:31
“God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.”
This verse concludes the creation account in Genesis 1, describing the final assessment God makes after completing all aspects of creation, including humanity. It serves as a summary statement before the Sabbath rest.
What does this initial declaration of 'very good' suggest about the original intention for creation, and how does that shape our understanding of present suffering?
