Theme
The Origins of the World Through
God’s Power
The Universe
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God
created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:27 God created man in His own image,
in the image of God He created him; male and
female He created them.
Humanity
Genesis 2:22-24 The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which
He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. The man said,
"This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called
Woman, Because she was taken out of Man." For this reason a man
shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they
Shall become one flesh.
Marriage
Sin
Genesis 3:6 When the woman saw that the tree was
good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes,
and that the tree was desirable to make one wise,
she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to
her husband with her, and he ate.
Family
Genesis 4:1-2 Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and
she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, "I have gotten
a manchild with the help of the LORD." Again, she gave birth to
his brother Abel.
Civilization
Genesis 4:20-21 Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who
dwell in tents and have livestock. His brother's name was Jubal; he was
the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe.
Genesis 9:5-6 And from every man, from every man's brother I will
require the life of man. Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood
shall be shed, For in the image of God He made man.
Government
Languages and Nations
Genesis 11:7-8 "Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so tha
they will not understand one another's speech." So the LORD scattered them
abroad from there over the face of the whole earth.
Israel
Genesis 12:1-3 Now the LORD said to Abram, "Go forth from your
country, And from your relatives And from your father's house, To
the land which I will show you; And I will make you a great nation,
And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall
be a blessing; And I will bless those who bless you, And the one
who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth
will be blessed."
Theme
God’s sovereign choice of Abraham
and his decedents to be his elect
people.
Purpose of Writing
To demonstrate to the Israelites that
the God they worshiped was the
God who created the entire world,
the only true God, and to show them
that they were his chosen people.
Purpose of Writing
Their status as his chosen people
was based entirely upon God’s own
sovereign will, not on any merit of
their own.
Purpose of Writing
Romans 9:10-13 but also when Rebecca had
conceived children by one man, our forefather
Isaac, though they were not yet born and had
done nothing either good or bad- in order that
God's purpose of election might continue, not
because of works but because of his call- she
was told, "The older will serve the younger."
As it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I
hated." [ESV]
Seeing Christ in Genesis
Genesis 3:14-15 The LORD God said to the
serpent, "Because you have done this, Cursed
are you more than all cattle, And more than
every beast of the field; On your belly you will
go, And dust you will eat All the days of your
life; And I will put enmity Between you and
the woman, And between your seed and her
seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you
shall bruise him on the heel."
Seeing Christ in Genesis
Genesis 9:27 May God enlarge Japheth, And let
him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan
be his servant.
Seeing Christ in Genesis
Genesis 49:10 The scepter shall not depart from
Judah, Nor the ruler's staff from between his
feet, Until Shiloh comes, And to him shall be
the obedience of the peoples.

Place in the Canon of Scripture
Genesis is the foundation for the
rest of the Bible. It provides us
with crucial context for what is
said elsewhere.
Place in the Canon of Scripture
Genesis shows us the ultimate Biblical
theme of God glorifying himself by
redeeming his people. It is also
crucial to understanding Revelation,
which is in many ways a parallel and
bookend to Genesis.
