Truth to Teach (Source)

Genesis 1:9 ‘And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered into one
place, and let dry ground appear. And it was so. God called the dry

ground “land”, and the gathered waters he called “seas”. And God
saw that it was good.’

Psalm 95:3-6 ‘For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. In his
hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to

him. The sea is his and he made it, and his hands formed the dry
land.’

Romans 1:20 ‘For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – his

eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being
understood from what has been made, so that men are without
excuse.’
