... these ten words

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:1

“Scripture begins with these ten words. This is the bedrock of the Bible, the first, earliest, and most irreducible foundation for the remaining thirty-one thousand verses of God’s Word.  …. Genesis 1:1 tells us that God is, that He creates, and that He speaks; this is the basis of all clear thinking and hope.

Genesis 1:1 gives us roots. We’re not accidental blobs of dying chemicals, mysteriously evolving from primordial sludge without purpose or meaning. We have a past rooted in the glory of the God whose image we bear. We're wonderfully made and placed in an environment fine- tuned for our needs.The books of Genesis gives us the history of creation, sin, the beginning of human society, and there wondrous plan of redemption introduced by God.”
