“In the beginning…” (Genesis 1:1)
Every good book starts with a hook, a sentence or phrase that draws you in and makes you want more. The Good Book starts with “in the beginning”. Which begs the question: What beginning?
Not God’s beginning – He has none (see Psalm 90:2).
The Bible is about our beginning, our origins. It is also about the beginning of our fall away from God, and it also is about the beginning of His plan to redeem us. The Bible is about the beginning of our existence, the beginning of our brokenness, and the beginning of God’s graceful redemption of us.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
