“Genesis 1-11 poses a cosmic question to which God must
provide a cosmic answer…What can God do next? Something
that only God could have thought of. He sees an elderly, childless couple in the land of Babel and decides to make them the fountainhead, the
launch pad of his whole mission of cosmic redemption….”
“Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, seeing that Abraham shall surely become a
great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I have chosen him, that he may command his children and his
household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice, so that the
LORD may bring to Abraham what he has promised him.”
~ Deuteronomy 18:18-19

son…,
~ Moses in Deuteronomy 6:20-24
“When your son asks you in time to come, ‘What is the meaning of the testimonies and the
statutes and the rules that the LORD our God has commanded you?’ then you shall say to your
son, ‘We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt. And the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty
hand. And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and grievous, against Egypt and against
Pharaoh and all his household, before our eyes.~ Moses in Deuteronomy 6:20-24
“…And he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in and give us the land that he swore to give to our fathers. 24 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he
might preserve us alive, as we are this day.”
~ Moses in Deuteronomy 6:20-24
“Scripture is our history. Creation, Fall, and Re-
demption are the context for understanding life. Our
children cannot under-stand why they are in the
world, how sin has affected them, and how redemption
restores what sin has destroyed, apart from their
spiritual history.”

union? And what was the one God seeking? Godly
offspring.”

you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from
whom you have learned it, and how from childhood you have
been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through
faith in Christ Jesus.”
“A son honors his father, and a servant
his master. If then I am a father, where is the
honour due me? And if I am a master, where it the respect due me?”
~ Malachi 1:6
“After this, many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. So

well?’ Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have
believed and have come to know, that you are the Holy
One of God.’”
