Summary: Genesis 1-3 and Psalm 1. CSB translation. Genesis is a book of beginnings as it lays a foundation for the rest of Scripture. Here especially in the first three chapters we the beauty of God’s good and ordered creation, His clear direction in creating mankind in His own image, and His generous provision both before and after sin. Here, too, we see man’s relationship with God fall from one of peace, unity, and harmony into one of disorder and division as man rejects God’s good design and sins against His Maker.
