    God is the creator of all things, heaven and earth. God is powerful and orderly. His creation is systematically and scientifically proven. God is faithful and keeps His words regardless of human actions. God is personal and feels for His creation. He is a communicator to let people understand and relate to Him.

    This book of Genesis reveals that God is loving, kind, merciful, forgiving and sovereign.

    It emphasizes God’s power and control (what we call sovereignty), since God created all things and determined how they should be like. It shows His knowledge and wisdom in fashioning the intricacies of a heaven and earth that did not collapse. It shows His goodness so that all He created were good and complementary. It hints at the Triune nature of God, when we read how the Spirit moved over the waters, and how God conversed with Himself about creating man in “their” image. The rest of Genesis after the creation story continues to tell us how God desires to have a relationship with men and how, when that relationship was broken by sin, God sought to restore it.

    It reveals His kindness, love, that He keeps His word, and His desire for a relationship with all His creation, especially human beings.

    On the one hand, God seems to be bent on destroying humans because of their actions. But then, he relents and spares them anyway. For example, in the Garden, even though Adam and Eve disobeyed God and then pointed fingers at each other rather than taking responsibility, He did not curse them. (He increased their pain and cursed the ground from which Adam came.) But he did curse the serpent. Again in the flood, He says he is going to destroy all life because man is so wicked. But then he decides to spare Noah and have him put all kinds of animals on the ark. I wonder why God seems torn between destroying but then relenting from destroying people? The other thing is that He seems to be personally involved with people. In Adam and Eve, he makes clothes for them. He walks in the garden and talks with them. In the Noah flood, He personally shuts Noah in the ark. Abraham bargains with him to try to save Sodom. In the Jacob story, He wrestles with him. God is personally involved with the people he created. This tells me that he cares for them and wants a relationship with them. He wants to be close to them. This is what I learned about the nature of God from reading the book of Genesis.

    In Genesis, God creates human beings with the deliberate intention of sharing the ordering of creation with them. Our lives are not accidental and without purpose; we are not helpless between good and evil; the world is not morally neutral, and we have a role to play in it. That role, its success or failure will be determined by our relationship with God our Almighty Father, Creator.

    Genesis tells us who created it all, the order in which it was created, and that God put mankind in charge of it all.

    That in the beginning, there was deep, dark, waters and God shaped the world. We were put here to tend and keep it.
