The book of Genesis not only teachers us about creation and where we came from but about how God brought order to His creation. This order can be seen in the order of creation and how creation work was divided up. At the same time, God said creation was good, not morally neutral.

Let's take a look at what he did.

The first book of Genesis talks about creation, or the start of it all, in a very different way from other texts. The ancient texts of the time when Genesis was written spoke of the creation as an accident of the gods. Today accounts talk about it being an accident or something that came out of chaos. Yet, in the Bible we see something that starkly contrasts that. Lets take a look at what it says and what that means.

Digging into the details of the first sentence in the first book of the bible brings out details and life that we don't see by reading the sentence in English. There is significance that shouldn't be overlooked and is worthy of geeking out over. When I read:

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." -- Genesis 1:1

I read a sentence that is short and to the point. But, when we dig into Hebrew there is so much more there. So, let's dig in.
