Summary

  • The Genesis story lays the groundwork for understanding the Bible, showing God's presence from the beginning to the end.

  • It reveals humanity's purpose, suggesting that our work mirrors Adam and Eve's role in tending the garden.

  • The text points to a new heaven and earth, implying that Revelation's imagery hints at a return to Eden-like conditions with God among His people.

But we are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised, a world filled with God’s righteousness.
