Bart Byl on Genesis 2:4-9, 15-17, 3:1-15.

Series: Christ in the Old Testament

These first chapters of Genesis, ‘the Old Testament of the Old Testament’, contain the primeval history of the world. God created the universe by the word of his power and declared all things good. He fashioned humanity from the soil into his own image, and placed Adam and Eve in a garden. The test of their free will took place in the most optimal conditions imaginable, but tempted by the serpent, they unleashed every evil into creation. These early chapters record how the human race goes from bad to worse. Yet, incredibly, at their lowest moment, God shows up with the promise that one day, the seed of the woman will crush the head of the serpent.
