Throughout Genesis 1, God repeatedly identifies his creations as good. “The Earth is the Lord’s and all it contains” - Psalm 24:1 “Everything created by God is good and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with Thanksgiving.” Paul in 1 Timothy 4:4 “...for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” Matthew 12:34 “...nothing is unclean itself” Romans 14:14 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.” Romans 1:16
