The Preexistence and Preeminence of God (1 of 48)

Genesis reveals to us who God is, what He does, what His purpose is for creating. Genesis teaches us who we are, who we are meant to be. Moreover, Genesis shows us who Jesus is, it shows us who our enemy, Satan, is. Genesis shows us the plan of redemption and how God will make all things new. Further, Genesis shows us how we are to understand and relate to Creation, how we a ...
