We see this morning that Regardless of the identities, successes, or failures of human beings, God is faithful to His promises, sovereignly and effectively bringing about those purposes through Jesus Christ.

Our passage this morning highlights God’s redemptive work for all the peoples of the earth. We see that According to His covenant, God will renew the hearts and lives of His people, drawing people from all the nations into His family, all through the atoning work of His Son, Jesus Christ.

Genesis 15-20 shows us that Whereas humanity is determined to rebel against God and build their own kingdom, God responds through grace by freely redeeming humanity through whom He will build His Kingdom.

We see in Genesis 10-14 that Whereas humanity is determined to rebel against God and build their own kingdom, God responds through grace by freely redeeming humanity through whom He will build His Kingdom.

The story of the flood shows us that Humanity’s rebellion and rejection of God deserves death, but because of God’s unfailing and ceaseless purposes for all of creation. He shows mercy and grace, ultimately taking the consequences of humanity’s sin upon Himself for their salvation.

In Genesis 3 & 4 we see that Humanity has rejected (and continues to reject) God’s authority and purposes for themselves and His world, affecting and corrupting every part of our existence. But God overcomes our sin and rebellion by His sovereign grace and mercy.

As we gather here weekly together as a family of faith, we will be focusing on the heart of this book, what Moses wanted his readers to know and apply and what we are supposed to know and apply. Therefore, as we jump into Genesis 1 & 2 this morning we see that God creates a world in which He may dwell in glory and share that glory with His creation. Humanity, thus, exists for this purpose, to dwell in perfect harmony with God and lead all creation to do the same.

By His birth, life, death, and resurrection Jesus has fully won the victory over the death, sin, and evil that plagues this world. As we come to receive Him by faith we are to now follow Him in the power of His victory to boldly declare Jesus as Lord and Savior.
