Genesis 1:26-2:25

God created people in His own image and He loves us.

Who is God? God is our Creator and King.

God created people in His own image. Adam was like God in some ways, but he was not a perfect representation of God. God sent His Son, Jesus, to show us exactly what God is like. (Colossians 1:15) Jesus is the perfect representation of God because He is God.(Hebrews 1:3

What is sin? Sin is breaking God’s law, and sin separates people from God.

God had promised that one of Eve’s descendants would put an end to sin and death. Cain was not that descendant. He was sinful like his parents, Adam and Eve. So people kept living and trusting God to keep His promise. At just the right time, God would send His Son to save sinners. (Hebrews 11:13; Galatians 4:4)

1 Corinthians 8:6 (NIrV) – “But for us there is only one God. He is the Father. All things came from him, and we live for him. And there is only one Lord. He is Jesus Christ. All things came because of him, and we live because of him.”

God is holy, and He punishes sin.

What is sin? Sin is breaking God’s law, and sin separates people from God.

Genesis 11:1-9

God created people to give glory to Him alone.

Why did God create the world? God created the world and everything in it for His glory.

People chose to give glory to themselves instead of God. They ignored God’s plan, so God confused their language and scattered the people all over the earth. One day, Jesus will gather together all of God’s people—people from every tribe and people who speak all kinds of languages—and they will worship Him. (Revelation 7:9-10)

1 Corinthians 8:6 (NIrV) – “But for us there is only one God. He is the Father. All things came from him, and we live for him. And there is only one Lord. He is Jesus Christ. All things came because of him, and we live because of him.”

God promised to bless all the world through Abraham.

What did God promise? God made a covenant to bless His people.

God called Abraham to leave his country and family to go to another land. God promised to bless all the world through Abraham. God sent Jesus from His home in heaven to be born on earth into Abraham’s family. Through Jesus, all the nations of the earth are blessed.
