Genesis Chapter One - Creation
The
work of Creation By God is the absolute
beginning of the temporal and material
world. The biblical evidence declares
that God created the original heaven and
earth from nothing (Genesis 1:1,2), an
d
specifically noted in verse 2 of Gen. 1,
that when it was conceived by God, the
mass was without form and void, and
without life. The remaining account of
Genesis 1 simply explains the process of
Creation in detail throughout six
literal days. There is simply no
implication in the Bible for the gap
theory or any theory for that matter.
Man and creation did not originate from
something that was dead. We were created
by God from nothing by virtue of His
Word.
The Book of Genesis
can be divided into two sections:
I. The Beginning - Which covers
(1) Creation (Genesis chapters 1-2);
(2) the Fall of man (Genesis chapters
3-5);
(3) the Flood (Genesis chapters 6-9)
(4) The Tower Of Babel (Genesis chapters
10-11).
II. The Believers - Genesis records the
lives of four great Believers:
(1) Abraham (Genesis 12-25:8)
(2) Isaac (Genesis 21:1-35-29)
(3) Jacob (Genesis 25:21-50:14)
(4) Joseph (Genesis 30:22-50:26).
