How do we know that God's creation was declared good?

In Genesis 1:31, after completing His creative work, God observed that everything He made was 'very good.' This declaration affirms the inherent goodness of creation, rooted in the nature of the Creator Himself, who is good. The sovereignty of God over creation ensures that it fulfilled His purpose and design. However, the fall into sin disrupted this goodness, leading to a world in which nothing is ever fully satisfied or enough. Thus, understanding that creation was initially good is crucial for recognizing the depth of our need for redemption through Christ.
