Primitive History: Creation & Fall

Introduction:
Genesis 1-11

Adam to Abraham

Purpose: To Define and Expose the Human Sin Nature.


Primitive History: Creation & Fall

I. In the beginning, God…


God is eternal. God is powerful.
God is Creator. God is purposeful.
God is good. God is generous.
God is orderly.
God is personal.
Primitive History: Creation & Fall

Can we find any indication of the Trinity here?


1. God is “Elohim.” (Hebrew Plural)
2. “Let us make man in our image…”
3. There needs to be a number in the God-head for
them to relate to each other.

A. The OrderII. The Creation Account

God created man first… before


the woman, which is used later by
Paul to argue that women should
not have doctrinal authority over
men in the church (1 Timothy 2:11-
14).

III. The Origin of Man:
B. The Creation
II. The Creation Account

Man was created by God. He is


the result of a special act of
creation, not a result of an
evolutionary process.
Primitive History: Creation & Fall
III. The Origin of Man:
C. Man’s Essence
II. The Creation Account

At creation, man has both a


physical component (body)
made of dust, and a spiritual
component (soul) created by the
breath of God. They exist in
harmony.
Primitive History: Creation & Fall
III. The Origin of Man:
D. His Sexuality &Creation
II. The MarriageAccount

God created mankind in two


distinct, but complementary
genders. Marriage is a divine
creation that unites the two in a
holy union; it is not a human
invention.

6 And Joseph died, all his brothers, and all
that generation. 7 But the children of Israel
were fruitful and increased abundantly,
multiplied and grew exceedingly mighty; and
the land was filled with them.

Exodus 1:6-7
Pentateuchal History: Exodus / Leviticus
I. Slavery & Hope
God had predicted that there would be a conflict
between the seed of the serpent and the seed of
the woman (Gen. 3:15).
We see this in action in Exodus 1.
~ Oppression & Slavery.
~ The Slaughter of the Innocents.

But God multiplied His descendants anyway!

1 Afterward Moses and Aaron went in and
told Pharaoh, “Thus says the Lord God of
Israel: ‘Let My people go, that they may hold
a feast to Me in the wilderness.’”

Exodus 5:1-2
2 And Pharaoh said, “Who is the Lord, that I
should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do
not know the Lord, nor will I let Israel go.”

gods of Egypt, for I am the LORD.”

Who hardened Pharaoh’s heart?

(See Exodus 7:22, 8:15, 8:19, 8:31, 9:7, 9:12, 9:34-35,


10:20, 10:27, and 11:10.)
1 Now the Lord said to Moses, “Go in to
Pharaoh; for I have hardened his heart and
the hearts of his servants, that I may show
these signs of Mine before him…

Exodus 10:1-2
2 …and that you may tell in the hearing of
your son and your son’s son the mighty
things I have done in Egypt, and My signs
which I have done among them, that you
may know that I am the Lord.”
