Genesis: The Creation Story The Creation story in the book of Genesis explains the beginning of the universe, earth, life, and humanity. The story helps to set up what would make up the rest of the Old and New Testament.

You turn men back to dust, saying, “Return to dust, O sons of men.” For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.” Psalm 90:2-4 The post-modern society in which we live has helped foster a view of the Bible as a collection of inspirational thoughts for use at the ‘Jesus and me’ level. Whilst it is certainly true that the Bible does speak to us in our individual situations, a failure to achieve balance and appreciate the bigger or cosmic picture will result in stunted Christian growth.
