In The Beginning - Genesis 1

The book of Genesis chapter 1 consists of the:
 Principles set by God, the power of our words, the importance of the spirit of God, God's creation, perfect plans and His intentions for the earth and us.

The word "Genesis" mean "The beginning" and as a result contains significant information concerning the origin of all things and explains how everything came into existence.
The first 4 letters in chapter one, verse 1; "In the beginning God" indicates that before everything else (time, space, and matter) came into existence, There was God. This truly shows the power of God due to the fact that the Theory of evolution starts with "The Big Bang" without being able to explain where The Big Bang came from whereas the Bible starts way before that. From this, it can be argued that only the Bible is able to give an account of where original matter, space and time came from.
Following this, we see that God is so wise and powerful that the first chapter and verse; before anything else was said, states who He is which is "The creator of the Heavens and the Earth" thereby establishing his authority, might and power over the earth. Based on this we see that God was there before time began therefore shutting down all other including scientific claims as to how the earth came into existence.

Verse two and three highlights the importance of having the Spirit of God and even prioritized that over the power in/of our words as the Bible states that "the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters AND THEN God said "Let there be light and there was light".
This exemplifies the significance of allowing the spirit of God to move in our lives because without this, our words carry no power due to the fact that even before God SPOKE his word into existence, He made his spirit move. The Bible tells us that "our tongue has the power of life or death" and also that "our confession brings our possessions."
From this we can learn that when things aren't right or the way we want it to be, rather than dwelling on it or talking about it, we can take action by speaking positively about what we want into existence.  Just like when God saw that the earth was empty, formless and full of darkness He didn't dwell on it but instead allowed His Spirit to move and then He created light to exceed the darkness.

In verse 4, we see the first principle that was set by God and this can be seen where he set the light apart from the darkness thereby establishing the principle that light and darkness can never mix. This is because the light was good and was of God. Note here that the light which verse 4 is talking about isn't the sun, the moon nor the stars or any other source of light. But rather this kind of light was to overcome the darkness thus bringing life into a world which was empty, formless and full of darkness. As born again Christians we are to "let our light shine for all to see"  to the extent where a clear difference can be seen between us and people of the world thereby bringing peace where there is chaos, joy where there is sadness, healing to the sick and hope where there is none  “For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true.” Psalms‬ ‭111:7‬ says "all He does is just and good" and also "God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all” (1 John‬ ‭1:5‬ ‭‬‬).
Because there is no darkness in God, as His children there must be no darkness in us too. Which is why we are to choose light or darkness and can't be shades of grey as Jesus said if you are "like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!". Another reason why we are told in John “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them” due to the fact that the world is full of darkness which is not of God.

Verse 26: “Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us."
Who else was God referring to when He said "Let us"???
Again, the first 4 words of verse one which was "In the beginning God" already identified that God was there from the very beginning. The verse 2 also made known that the Holy Spirit was there as it stated that "the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters". Making that the second person.
The third person can be seen in the book of John chapter 1:

The whole of John chapter one reveals Jesus to be not only the Word which was made flesh but also that He was there at the very beginning even before the creation. This can be seen in verse 14; “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”
Beholding Jesus as the word explains His lifestyle on earth. The Bible says that "Everywhere He went He was doing good" which can be linked back to Genesis Chapter one, as the heavens and the earth was created through the power of God's word (refer to John 1:3) and “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:31‬.
