Welcome to One Minute Through the Bible. In today's
episode, episode six, we will discuss what I
believe is the main idea of the Book of Genesis,
or the purpose for the Book of Genesis. Now,
this is my purpose statement. Now, you can come
up with your own purpose for the Book of Genesis,
and I suggest you do that. And I suggest you
do that with other biblical books. Now, I believe
the main idea of the Book of Genesis is to convey
a message to believers across all ages that hinges
on this idea that a right relationship with God
involves family not by blood but through grace
by faith. So what do I mean by that? I believe
that the book of Genesis especially in it's later
chapters with the message of a covenant family
is a model for what God is building throughout
eternity that is a right relationship with God
involves family not my blood but by grace through
faith and the New Testament supports this idea
in Mark chapter 3 verse 33 when Jesus While he
was speaking, he was being interrupted and he
wanted everyone to know just who was his brother,
sister, and mother. And it was those who do the
will of the Father. And also in the Sermon on
the Mount, Jesus introduced the concept of God
as Father. Therefore, once you read the book
of Genesis and take it in it's totality you will
see especially in the later chapters that God
was building a model and he wanted to convey
the idea that a right relationship with God involves
family not by blood but through grace by faith
