Genesis takes us back beyond recorded history, and by revelation unveils the origin both of the universe and of the human race. To understand who we are and where we came from, we must begin with God.

There are really only two ways to understand origins. A person can see everything as the product of random chance operating in an impersonal universe, or as the craftsman-like work of a Person. Genesis unhesitatingly affirms this second position. It traces the Creation of the universe to a personal God. It portrays humanity as a unique, special creation of this God. It explains the origin of sin and evil. It affirms man’s moral responsibility and lays a foundation for a doctrine of redemption.

Genesis explains the origins of the Hebrews; a people chosen by God to serve as a channel of blessing for the whole world. Special promises given to Abraham, the father of the chosen race, are evidence that God has a continuing purpose for human beings and is working out this purpose in history.

Genesis lays the foundation for understanding all Scripture, for the whole Bible speaks from the context defined in this first book. God is. God cares uniquely about human beings. God must and will judge sin, but God also has set in motion a process that brings even sinners back to Him. In a grand plan for the benefit of our race, God has revealed the wonder of His endless, redeeming love.
