* It's good to suffer loss, for it draws me to the Cross where God's loss is more than what anyone ever lost. * We cannot hear what the stories of the Bible are saying until we hear them as stories about ourselves. * Let go of control. * Trust God. Thank God. Think about God. Talk to God. Talk about God.

The Gospel in Genesis


I highly recommend the ESV Gospel Transformation Bible.

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