All this week we’ve seen that our Christian doctrine is grounded in the history in Genesis and that includes the gospel itself. Without a literal Genesis, there is no gospel! There is no hope of salvation.

So this issue is a gospel issue and it’s an authority issue: God’s clear Word or man’s ideas. It’s not ultimately about creation versus evolution. It’s about the authority of the Word of God.

We can trust God’s Word, beginning in Genesis, so we can trust the doctrines that are grounded in Genesis—such as the gospel! Don’t let anyone tell you Genesis is just a side issue—it’s a gospel issue and an authority issue.
