The title “Genesis” means birth or becoming. It is taken from the Septuagint, which is the Greek translation of the OLD TESTAMENT. This is also the first word in the book. The entire book of Genesis is about so many beginnings. It introduces us to the almighty God, the Creator and Governor of the world, of time, and of purpose. Genesis teaches us about the beginnings of man’s disobedience, of the enmity God established between the Seed of the Serpent and the Seed of the Woman, and of God’s love towards fallen creatures. It does not take long and Genesis also tells us about the effect of sin: shame, murder, and evil intentions always, leading to the worldwide flood. Again, God demonstrates his goodness in new beginnings.
