Creation to Abraham
Creation to Abraham
• Genesis chapters 1–2
tell the story of God’s
creation of the world
and humanity.
• God saw that his
creation was good,
and he blessed the
first man and woman.
• However, Adam and Eve chose a path of
disobedience to God; and hardship, conflict, and
death entered the world (Gen. 3).
• Life on earth was radically altered.
