Gen 1:1
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” This is the first truth the Bible teaches. The first chapter of Genesis allows us to glimpse the love, imagination, and power of God. Out of nothing, God spoke the universe into being and fashioned it into his creation. His creation continues to reflect his glory and will do so until all things pass away. Let us praise God, the author of life, who created us in his image and for his pleasure.

Genesis 2:7
We are not merely the product of impersonal biological processes. Life is God's gift to his creatures. It is God who breathed the "breath of life" into Adam. All creation bears witness to the Lord, the author of life. He created us for his glory and pleasure and enabled us to share that glory with him eternally. Sin and death no longer reign, for Jesus Christ has triumphed over the powers of darkness. With glad and grateful hearts, let us proclaim this message of life.

Genesis 4:1
After their rebellion in the Garden, Adam and Eve must have wondered whether God would completely abandon them. Yet God did not desert them. He continued to nourish them, protect them, and provide for them. After the birth of their first child, Eve acknowledged that it was only by the Lord's power that she and Adam had produced a son. We should not let our sinfulness discourage us from turning to God and trusting in his help, for apart from him we can do nothing (John 15:5).

Genesis 6:6
A part from God, human behavior degenerates into total wickedness. But the Bible tells us that God grieves over fallen humanity, suggesting that God still loves us even though we are sinful. He would not grieve if he did not long for us to obey him. His love for us is so great that he even sent his own Son to die so that we might be reunited with him. We dare not neglect so great a salvation (Hebrews 2:3). Let us examine our life for sin, which grieves God, and let us confess it, knowing that our loving Father will forgive us and remember it no more.
