HOW TO USE

  1. READ THE GENRE + BOOK OVERVIEW BELOW

  2. READ THE CHAPTERS IN THE BIBLE FOR EACH SESSION

  3. READ THE CHAPTER SUMMARIES ON EVERYDAYSCRIPTURE.ORG/GENESIS

  4. ANSWER THE QUESTIONS + REFLECT ON THE READING

This study encourages going at your own pace, allowing each session to be a day, a week, or however long you need. Each session contains questions to be used for individual reflection or small group discussion.

This study was made to be used alongside Bible reading. Although we have created chapter summaries, there is no substitute for reading God's Word.

SESSION ONE: GENESIS 1-5 CREATION + THE FALL

Read Genesis 1:26. Who or what was God referring to when He said, “Let us make man in our image?”

What did God do on the seventh day after creation? Was this necessary for God?

How did the serpent test Eve’s knowledge of God’s Word?

  • What does this tell you about the Enemy?

  • What does this tell you about the power of God’s Word?

What does God’s response to Adam and Eve’s failure tell you about how God responds to sin?

Do you see any significance in God’s choice to cover Adam and Eve with the skin of an animal?

Why would God allow Adam and Eve to eat from the Tree of Knowledge but not the Tree of Life?

  • Read Revelation 22:2. When God redeems the earth, what tree will be present?

Why do you think God was more pleased with Abel’s offering than Cain’s?

Since God hadn’t yet provided the Commandments, how did Cain know that murder was wrong?
