Genesis - the book of Beginnings

Description

Excerpt from the book:

Some of us have seen a man make a table. Of course he must have the wood. Wood may be bought from a lumber company, and then cut into shape and put together to make a table. But the man could never make the wood itself. […]

When God first created the world, He did not use stones or water or any thing. Yet, through faith, we know that the world was created by the Word of God, (Heb. 11:3) and the heavens too. (Psa. 33:6). None but God could do this. […]

Genesis: The Book of Beginnings has been prepared especially for those who are not familiar with the lovely stories of the Old Testament, and its object is to point such persons to the Lord Jesus Christ, Who is so plainly to be seen in almost every story. You will find this book filled with simple and practical instruction such as this description about God’s instructions following the flood.

“Some think that good acts, not eating meat, not killing things, makes them fit for heaven. No! Eating meat, or not eating, has nothing to do with the forgiveness of our sins (1 Tim. 4:1-6). But we do not eat the blood. Why? Because the blood is the life, and the life belongs to God (Acts 15:20-29; Lev. 17:10-14). The blood of Jesus Christ poured out, tells us that He died—He gave life for us.”

Fill up a young believer’s heart with vital lessons from Genesis, the seed plot of the Bible.
