Today we're in Genesis 5:1-32 where we see the first genealogy in Scripture and introduces “the book of the generations of Adam” (v.1). Eight times in Genesis 5 you find the melancholy phrase “and he died,” for death was now reigning over mankind because of Adam’s sin (Rom. 5:12–17, 21). Sin and death still reign today, but through Jesus Christ we can “reign in life” (vv. 17, 21).
