Genesis Chapter one
Genesis Chapter one
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
Main Character: God
Main Character: God
God, v. 1. Spirit, v. 2. Christ, v. 26 first man and woman.
Without Form: “The earth was without form.”
Without Form: “The earth was without form.”
This refers to the original material which was first created for the earth. It does not mean it had no shape whatsoever but rather it did not yet reflect design. There was substance but not styling.
Many want to use this verse to find room for evolution in order to get respect from science for the Scripture. But we do not have to interpret Scripture to fit evolution in order to get respect for the Scripture; rather evolution must interpret things to fit the Scripture, if evolution wants respect. Evolution is not the interpreter of Scripture. Rather Scripture is the interpreter of evolution—and it condemns evolution.
Void: “The earth was … void.”
Void: “The earth was … void.”
The earth was empty of any kind of inhabitant. God will fill the earth during the six days of the perfecting the creation. Days five and six will especially take care of the filling of the earth.
Darkness: “And darkness was upon the face of the deep.”
Darkness: “And darkness was upon the face of the deep.”
The creation began with material and not illumination. It was totally dark without one speck of light. It is hard for a human to think of something totally dark. Day one and Day four brought illumination to the earth.
The Six Days of Creation (Gen 1:3–31)
Day 1: Light (Gen 1:3–5)
Day 2: The Sky (Gen 1:6–8)
Day 3: The Land and the Plants (Gen 1:9–13)
Day 4: The Luminaries (Gen 1:14–19)
Day 5: Birds and Sea Creatures (Gen 1:20–23)
Day 6: Land Animals (Gen 1:24-25) and Humans (Gen 1:26–31)
Day 7: The Seventh Day (Gen 2:1–3)
image and likeness
John Chapter one verses 1-3
John Chapter one verses 1-3
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.
17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

God’s Sabbath Rest
God’s Sabbath Rest
1 Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished.
2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.
3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.
Creation Details
Creation Details
4 This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,
5 before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground;
6 but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
8 The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed.

The Edenic covenant
15 Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;
17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
18 And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.”
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
Genesis Chapter Three
Genesis Chapter Three
Temptation of Eve
Temptation of Eve
1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”
2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden;
3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ”
4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.
5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.

7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.
16 To the woman He said: “I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; In pain you shall bring forth children; Your desire shall be for your husband, And he shall rule over you.”
17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’: “Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life.
18 Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you, And you shall eat the herb of the field.
19 In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, And to dust you shall return.”
20 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
21 Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed them.
God’s covenant with fallen man and the expulsion from Eden.
God’s covenant with fallen man and the expulsion from Eden.
22 Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”—
23 therefore the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken.
24 So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
