Genesis | In The Beginning
Shared on: Aug 21, 2024
Genesis marks the beginning of all God's work in Creation. It is the first revelation that we are given of God's identity, power, authority, and wisdom. From within these sacred pages, we are introduced to the Eternal and Self-Existing God who brought forth everything from nothing, forming the very Cosmos in six days through the Word of His power. We are introduced to our first father, Adam, who—through his sinful rebellion against God—left all humanity bereft of God's blessing and dead in their sins. Nevertheless, the promise to raise up a Savior through the Seed of the Woman who would conquer our Enemy and bring us back into a right relationship with God stood firm as it was slowly unraveled through the story of God's people, the fathers of our faith. Culminating in the sovereign and saving work of God in the life of Joseph, the book of Genesis declares to every heart that no power of evil can stand against the purposes of God--what Satan means for evil, God will turn for good.
