Genesis 1-2 Theme
The theme of “God’s choice of a nation through whom He would bless all nations” (GotQuestions), shows God’s grace. Despite of the fall Adam and Eve had, this theme shows the beginning of redemption. When God flooded and burned humanity, He separated a specific family line so later in the future bring salvation to the world. The theme of beginnings which is found in Genesis 1-2, answers some of the questions people have for example, how was the earth made or how was humanity made. This fits into the biblical story line because in the Creation we see how God put everything together and how He is also involved with the universe. Also it shows how God wants humanity to save the seventh day just like He did when creating the Earth. The theme which
is beginnings shows the early creation of the earth and the beginning of sin as well. Moreover, another theme found in Genesis is God’s promises to humanity. In the book of Genesis we see how God keeps and fulfills His promises. He allows Sarah to give birth to Isaac even though she is barren. This fits into the story biblical because the family line goes from Abraham to Isaac, to Jacob, and Israel will form into tribes and Jesus will descend from the tribe of Judah. Due to the promise God made in Genesis 3:15, He is involved with Humanity, He speaks to the patriarchs through dreams and he continues and remembers His promise. Another theme is Christ. Jesus story can be seen through Joseph’s life. (Krell) “Joseph and Christ are both objects of special love by their Fathers, both are hated by their brethren, both are rejected as rulers over their brethren, both are conspired against and sold for silver, both are condemned though innocent, and both are raised from humiliation to glory by the power of God.” (Krell)
