Creation Q & A Q: Why is Genesis the Bible's very first book? A: Obviously, the fact that Genesis is first in God's Word means that He sees it as very, very important. And it is. Genesis, which means 'beginnings,' is the first book because its words are foundational to the rest of the Bible. All of the New Testament is founded in the Old Testament--and all of the Old Testament is based in Genesis Chapters 1 through 11. All biblical doctrines have their foundation ultimately--directly or indirectly--in the book of Genesis. The doctrine of marriage; why we wear clothes; the reason Jesus came to die on a cross; why there's death in the world; why man has dominion over the earth--all of these are dependent on a literal Genesis. The only reason we understand the meaning of sin, is because we read about the literal rebellion of the first man when he disobeyed God. Actually, if Genesis were taken out of the Bible, you'd have to throw the rest away. It's all dependent on the historical accounts in this first book.
