Matt walks us through Genesis 1:2-31 - 2:1-3. This passage gives us an understanding in how God created the world and the purpose of creation, as an overflow of his goodness.
Matt explains how God spoke the world into existence “ex-nihlo” and why he did this in a structured order. We see the perfection of God’s creation before sin entered the world, as God looks to his creation and says
“it is very good”.
The creation story in Genesis helps us to reflect on God’s amazing promise that though our relationship with him and creation was broken by sin, he has and will restore all through Christ.
