Genesis is where everything starts — not just the world, but the entire story of faith. It’s the foundation of the Bible, revealing who God is, what humanity is meant to be, and how grace enters the picture from the very first pages.
If you’re looking for a Bible study that explains the big picture, answers deep questions, and introduces core themes like creation, sin, covenant, and redemption — Genesis is your book.
Why Study the Book of Genesis?
Genesis is more than a creation story. It sets up the spiritual DNA for the rest of the Bible:
- 🌍 Who God is — Creator, Covenant-Maker, Judge, Redeemer
- 👤 Who we are — image-bearers with purpose and brokenness
- 🔁 Why we need salvation — the fall, exile, and human rebellion
- 📜 How the Gospel begins — through Abraham’s family
From Adam to Joseph, Genesis shows how faith starts small and grows strong — even in the middle of failure.
Genesis Structure: 3 Major Movements
1. 📖 Creation & Fall (Chapters 1–11)
The first 11 chapters explain how the world began, how sin entered, and how God responds with justice and mercy.
- Creation of the world (Genesis 1–2)
- Fall of man (Genesis 3)
- Noah and the flood (Genesis 6–9)
- Tower of Babel (Genesis 11)
2. ⭐ Covenant with Abraham (Chapters 12–25)
God chooses one man to begin a nation. The covenant with Abraham is the launchpad for all of God’s redemptive plans.
3. 🧬 Generations of Promise (Chapters 26–50)
The stories of Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph show how messy families, personal failure, and divine faithfulness work together in God’s plan.
