9. The Promise

After the foundational teachings in Genesis 1-11, the rest of Genesis focuses on one family – the family of Abraham. We meet him in chapter 12 and the rest of the Bible follows the story of his descendants, all the way to Jesus. In Genesis 12 God makes some unconditional promises to Abraham that, according to Romans 4, apply to all who believe in Jesus. The treatment to the world’s greatest problem (sin) is found here in Genesis 12: 1) hear God’s promises; 2) trust God’s provision (Jesus) and; 3) obey God’s commands.
