We’ve been looking in the early chapters of Genesis over the last few weeks. Before we travel on, I wanted to take flight from the ground level and look at these recent chapters from a 20,000-foot view. Instead of looking at a specific passage in Genesis this week, I want to show you how Genesis 1-3 relates to the whole of Scripture.
Here’s an important truth for you and me, as we study our Bibles. Every single word, verse, sentence, paragraph, chapter, and book are written within a greater Biblical context. It’s important not to look at any verse, paragraph, or book without considering the overarching narrative of God’s Word. As it has been well pointed out before, you cannot miss the forest by staring at the trees.
This is especially true in Genesis 1-3 because events happen in these chapters that have earth-shattering ramifications upon the rest of Biblical and human history. There are truths revealed in these chapters that set a precedent about who God is and how God works. There are implications that remain true through history because of what happened in Eden.
How does Genesis 1-3 connect to the rest of Scripture?


In General Revelation: Creation declares the glory of God. 
In Special Revelation: God is a speaking God.
In Man: Man is created in the image of God. 
In Sin: Adam's fall doomed the rest of humanity.
In Salvation: The promise of a Savior is given.  
In Restoration: Life before the fall reminds us that God will make all things new.
