What does the book of Genesis reveal about God’s Nature?
-
God is creator and sustainer . He made a covenant with Abraham and He keep it . Human beings disobey his commands and face consequences , still God remain faithful and his love for humankind never ceases ,no matter how much deviates from his commandments . He is revealing His nature through every persons introduced i, Genesis . In short , God is sovereign, creator of heaven and earth and He is still on the throne .
-
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.
#Genesis
-
It reveals His kindness, love, that He keeps His word, and His desire for a relationship with all His creation, especially human beings.

What does the book of Genesis tell us about creation?
-
The first several verses (1:1 – 2:3) in the book of Genesis provide a sort of prologue for the rest of the book. In this section, Moses gives an overview of God’s creation of the world. There is a symmetry in the order of creation. Day 1 and Day 4 both concern the creation of light and the objects that give light. Day 2 and Day 5 see the separation of the sky and the sea, or waters above and below, and the creatures that fill them – birds and fish. Day 3 and Day 6 tell of the creation of dry land and then the creature that inhabit the dry land – including humans. It is not completely clear what is meant by the term day used in this section. What is clear is that humans are created last. This is the opposite of what tends to happen in other creation myths where humans are created first and then other creatures follow. Another thing that is clear from these verses in Genesis is that the account of creation is intended to highlight the Sabbath. In His rest on the seventh day, God ordained, from the very beginning of the world, the need for Sabbath rest. This concept was very important for the Israelites.
-
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.
-
That God created everything.
