It has been said that every major doctrine of any importance in the Bible finds its roots in Genesis. To understand God, our world, and ourselves, we must begin at the beginning - in Genesis. Without a solid understanding of Genesis, we are lost; we are coming into the middle of the story. It is in Genesis that we learn about how God made us, His purpose for us, and His unrelenting love for His rebellious children. Here we discover the spring of God's covenant that widens from a trickling stream to an overflowing river of grace throughout the remainder of the Bible to bring Christ's blessing to people from every language, tribe, and nation.

Here too we learn about some of the great early saints of the faith - Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, real people with their share of weaknesses and mistakes. But more importantly we see regular glimpses of God's grace manifested to them and their families. And we see Christ mirrored in their circumstances and character. Through God's faithful pursuit of His people in Genesis, we find hope that God will also work in and through us and that we can also reflect our Lord Jesus to those around us. Contains questions at the end of each chapter. This study of Genesis is an inductive interactive Bible study designed in a workbook format to enable you to get into God’s Word and into a growing relationship with God.
