Foundational Truths
Chapters 1-3
● Genesis sets the pace for the entire bible as being ABOUT GOD.
● God IS the subject of chapter 1
● God is the source of all things
● Every physical thing created was created by God during Creation week and for His
pleasure.
● Days of creation are 7/24 hour days
● All of creation was immediately young yet functionally mature.
● All creation reveals God’s attributes. – Romans 1:20
○ This required variety even within species
○ God wants to be known – makes Himself discoverable through what He made.
● Established Sabbath Day from beginning
● That God is more than a single being is revealed (let us)
○ Later revealed in scripture that there are Three and They all played individual
roles in creation.
● Mankind is in God’s image – not angels
● Structure of authority for home and society.
○ Gender roles
■ Man is head, leader, ultimate provider, establisher of family and ultimately
responsible.
■ Woman is helper, child-bearer, nurturer and willingly submissive to his
authority.
■ BOTH co-rule the works of God’s hands with equality.
● Reproduction is limited to kinds (sub-families).
● Sexuality defined – (see Mk10:6 made them male and female)
● Adam named every living thing.
● God defines “living” as that which has His breath.
● Animals exist for man's pleasure, instruction and food (later).
● Mankind has dominion and responsibility for creation.
● Animal blood covered first sin – required from the beginning.
● God did not address Eve’s sin.
● In Adam:
○ All mankind fell

● God is arbiter in the affairs of man – God judges original sin.
○ Promises and prophecies of Messiah as seed of woman
