Why do the opening pages of the Bible matter so much—for our faith, our lives, and the world we’re trying to love well?In this episode, we introduce a new Encounter Grace segment, “Why This Matters,” where we slow down and revisit foundational truths that quietly shape everything else. And there’s no better place to start than Genesis 1–3—the introduction not only to Scripture, but to reality itself.We explore how these three chapters reveal who God is at the deepest level:Genesis 1 shows us God as Creator, declaring the goodness of the material world.Genesis 2 reveals God as King, calling His people into meaningful, culture-shaping work.Genesis 3 unveils God as Redeemer, displaying grace on the very day sin enters the story.Rather than treating Genesis as abstract theology or a battleground for debates, this episode asks a more personal and practical question: What was God revealing about Himself to His redeemed people—and what is He still revealing to us today?If you’ve ever wondered why creation, culture, work, embodiment, grace, and human dignity matter so much to Christian faith, this conversation will help you see Genesis 1–3 not as distant history, but as a living foundation that brings clarity, hope, and purpose to everyday life.Because when we truly encounter the God who is Creator, King, and Redeemer, it changes how we see the world—and how the world encounters grace through us.#Genesis #BiblicalTheology #ChristianWorldview #BibleStudy #EncounterGrace
