Chapter One: In the Beginning

Genesis, or Bereshith, is defined as the beginning. Its title was from the Septuagint; this book, the Septuagint, is the ancient Greek translation of the Old Testament. Genesis denotes the beginning of life and God's word for us. However, it is not the beginning of God or Jesus Christ, for God is the Alpha and the Omega in that He has no beginning or end. This book will answer some questions, explain the purpose of chapter one of Genesis, and give some information as we view each day and verse of Genesis. This book is not to take place or add to the Bible. This book is written with care, prayer, and godly intent. Revelations says that none shall add or take away from God's word, and this book is not designed to do either. If I make a mistake, then please contact me via email.

How did God create the world? What does it mean to be the Alpha and Omega? Why should I read Genesis? What are the origins of the universe? These are just a few questions raised from this chapter. I will attempt to answer these questions only. There are a lot of questions from here, but I must have a focal point for this chapter. I really want the purpose of Genesis to shine through.

The purpose of chapter one in Genesis is very simple. Chapter one is meant, simply, to show that God created the universe and everything in the universe and anything that was made was made by God. So God created all of the tiny calculated aspects and everything else. God created everything... It demonstrates that everything in the universe was created with a fine point. Genesis as a whole spells out an easy message, but chapter one is the introduction to that message.
