And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
All Commentaries on Genesis 1:31 Go To Genesis 1
John Chrysostom
AD 407
I mean, his allpowerful hand and boundless wisdom were not at a loss even to create everything in one day. Why say “one day”? Even in a brief moment. Yet it was not because of its utility to him that he produced anything that exists, since being selfsufficient he is in need of nothing. It was rather out of his loving kindness and goodness that he created everything; accordingly he created things in sequence and provided us with a clear instruction about created things through the tongue of the blessed author, so that we might learn about them precisely and not fall into the error of those led by purely human reasoning.
