Presupposition of Gods Existence
Genesis explains Gods providential working in history. His plan has a starting point with creation and has an end point when all his promises are fulfilled. Israel's ancestry, traceable to Abraham, and it's destiny, are all linked to Gods promises. Family records were written and preserved to show how God protected his people and the purity of the line...Jesus would come from this family line. In the book of Genesis, the motifs of blessings and curses appears and this theme repeats through history forward to Christ. There is blessed by faith and being damned and cursed by turning away from God. God, the master of foreshadowing, warns his people and when they chose to not heed, they suffer at their own hands. Here is his very clear, unmistakable warning: Don't fear human beings fear God, who has the power to bless and to curse. The presupposition of Gods existence was and is a way of living for many, it is a birthright for the Israelites. Until next time, in the Bible.
