The foundation stories of Genesis set the stage for understanding the Gospel in many ways.
- The Creator is the King over all his creation.
- Sin entered the world and took away human freedom.
- God reveals the depth of his love and grace, despite humanity's continual disobedience.
- God called frail and profoundly flawed human beings to represent him: Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph.
- These giants of faith learned to love God more than the goods of this life.
- The riches of God's grace render people without excuse.
- The Lord of the universe committed himself by oath to one man, Abraham.
