Summary of the First Three Verses of Genesis
(As you
can tell, I love the book of Genesis!)
Genesis 1:1
This first
verse of Scripture is an overall summary of the entire creation account. It is
here that we are given the very first glimpse of our God in action expressing
His creativity. Everything in existence is summed up in God’s creation of the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:2
The second
verse helps us to know the condition of things. We are made aware of a lack and
deficiency in creation because there are no occupants to make this world their
home. Ultimately speaking, the greatest deprivation is seen in the absence of
God. However, it is here in the latter half of the verse that God moves into His
creation.
Genesis 1:3
This third
verse is where the account begins. God has made,
moved in and is now manifesting Himself to the creation by
demonstrating His power in bringing forth light by the word of His mouth. Here
in verse three we are told of the remarkable first words of God to His
creation.
