Genesis Introduction 1-6-16

I invite you to enjoy the study of Genesis “The Beginning” for the next few weeks (ending Ash Wednesday).  Along with my own personal study, I have explored thoughts from other studies on Genesis.  May we all learn and grow from this time together.

Genesis is a book of beginnings that are waiting to be discovered.   The word Genesis is translated “Beginning.”

* The Beginning of Creation:  Our readings include the beginning of the universe and the beginning of humanity that is loved and taken care of by a sovereign God.  

* The Beginning of Choice: How sin happened and the suffering and death that followed human disobedience.  

* The Beginning of Redemption:  God makes and keeps His promises to be faithful to all He has created; so as we read we will see God’s follow up work of redemption.  

* The Beginning of Faith:  In return, humanity needs to remain faithful to the Creator, because only God can help humanity overcome the evil that plagues the human soul.
