Paradise. Then Paradise Lost.
Sin does not come onto the scene in Genesis until chapter three, but we have much to learn in the two earlier chapters about our desperate predicament as humans occupying the planet and the depths of our sin.
As in … Paradise and Paradise Lost.
As we see what we have lost. As we understand better God’s original gift to humans in creation. Now we may realize that we really do need to let God instruct us from his word as to our need for a Savior (and for everything else in life).
For those who are lost and need to be found, Genesis is absolutely foundational to understanding God, ourselves and the world in which we live. Undermine Genesis as the exact account that God chose to give us, and you have undermined your ability to believe in God as he defines and describes himself.
You choose. You lose. Pick apart his message and miss his message and miss the abundance of life that God offers through Jesus Christ.
