Wrap-Up on the Book of Genesis

by S. Sebastian Campbell

Wrap up on the Book of Genesis 2

1. Genesis asserts that God is the Creator and He

chooses a special people to make Him known to

the world.

2. To understand Genesis we must understand the

covenant God establishes with His people

beginning with Abraham.

Covenant: I will be your God if you will be my

people. (See Exodus 19:5; Gen. 17

Circumcision is given as a sign of the

covenant).

3. Genesis Ch. 12 is of great importance as it marks

the beginning of Israel’s history with the call of

Abraham. (Abraham is foundational to our

understanding of three great world religions;

Judaism, Christianity and Islam).

4. Genesis Ch. 1-11 are stories with Morales. They are

used to answer questions with which people of

that time and all times continue to struggle such as

when? and who? and how did certain things come

into existence. People realize everything must

have an origin. Such questions answered will

include:

Marriage

Clothes

Languages

Sin

5. Remember, Genesis is no scientific book. God

controls science, He asserts it and make it work to

His advantage.

6. Of interest would have been the long life

expectancy then as opposed to now. It was the era

of pre-war, pre-famine, pre-pollution and pre-

disease. We live in an era of grave pollution and

environmental terrorism that is affecting life

today. Additionally, numbers were used differently

and the span of years would have been shorter

then. But long life is significant of God’s blessings;

this is the ultimate point.

7. Helpful reference verses:

Gen. 11:1- At first the people of the

whole world had only one

language and used the same

words.

Gen. 33:10- To see your face is for me like

seeing the face of God.

Gen. 3:9- The Lord God called out to the

man, where are you?

Gen. 41:38- We will never find a man

better than Joseph.

but God turned it into good.

9. Complete: If I were a consultant God………(Any

advice for God).
