Genesis Reading Plan Week 1: Genesis 1-3

Genesis chapter 1 presents a narrative of creation where God brings order and purpose to a formless and empty earth. This creation unfolds in six days, establishing fundamental structures (Days 1-3) before filling them with inhabitants (Days 4-6), culminating in God's rest and reign on the seventh day. The earth is depicted as God's temple, giving purpose to creation and implying God's desire to dwell among humanity. Crucially, humanity is created in God's image to reflect His character and exercise dominion as responsible stewards of creation.
