1. We can see the action of the Triune God in the first three days of creation. The first day, when light was created, refers to the Father. The second day, when the atmosphere (air) was created for the purpose of producing drinkable water, refers to the Spirit. And the third day, when dry land appeared, refers to Christ, the Son (Gen. 1: 3-9).
2. God gathered the waters together into one place, which He called seas, and caused the dry land to appear, which he called earth. This made it possible for plant life to emerge. Thus, there was a separation between life (the earth) and death (the seas, where the waters of death are). Thus, the third day represents the resurrection, for Christ was resurrected on the third day (Gen. 1: 9-13).
3. The spiritual meaning of creation on the third day is the resurrection of Christ, by which we have been born again to a living hope (1 Peter 1: 3). By faith in Christ, we have been born again of incorruptible seed through the word of God, which is alive and permanent. Regeneration is being born again, being born of the Spirit, being a new creation (1 Pet 1: 23-25; John 3:3-7; 2 Cor 5:17).
4. “The Bible shows us that Abraham was a man of great faith. He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness” (Romans 4: 3) (Daily Food, book 3, week 3, Monday, p. 39).
