“Genesis is foundational to the whole Bible, and to every human life. Genesis tells us who God is, who we are, how things went wrong, and the plan that God has put in place to return the earth to the way it was meant to be.” (Page 7)
“He did not rest because he was tired, but to enjoy the world that he had worked to create. In Christ, this rest is fulfilled, so that ‘there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God’ (Heb. 4:9). Jesus offers the key to enter that rest, since he invites us, ‘Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest’ (Matt. 11:28). In creation, the pattern was work then rest. In the gospel, the pattern is rest then work (1 Cor. 15:9–10; Phil. 2:12–13).” (Page 15)
“This call is transformed by the coming of Jesus Christ with a focus on spiritual progeny birthed by the power of the word of God. As a result, the word of God increases (‘increase’ = ‘to bear fruit’; the same Greek word is used in Gen. 1:28 in the Greek Old Testament translation used by the apostles) and multiplies in Jerusalem (Acts 6:7), Judea and Samaria (12:24) and to the end of the earth (19:20).” (Page 16)
“The Word active in creation is revealed as a Person who becomes flesh and blood in redemption3 to come and save.” (Page 15)
“vv. 26–27), and is given dominion over the animals (v. 28) and the fruits of the earth for food (v. 29” (Page 16)
