From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible records God’s pursuit of humanity. After the first humans fell to sin and rebellion in the Garden of Eden, the Creator set his eternal plan of salvation into motion.

The story takes a huge leap forward when, out of all the nations of the world, God chooses one elderly couple to be the bearers of his promise. Through Abraham and his wife Sarah, would come the nation of Israel and God’s final answer to sin and death: Jesus of Nazareth.

In Genesis 3, sin entered the story and began its terrible reign spreading violence, division, and death through creation. But God won’t allow sin to have the last word so He made a promise to confront and destroy evil at its source. 

In this next phase of the story, we see God’s justice and mercy, both punishing evil and preserving His creation, allowing His promise to move forward toward its fulfillment in Jesus.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. He made human beings in his image to rule the world on his behalf… and everything was good! But, sadly, that initial state of innocence didn’t last long.

Sin enters the story in Genesis chapter 3 and God’s good world and everything in it, including us, was corrupted. But there’s good news — immediately after this, God makes a mysterious promise to confront and defeat evil at its source!
