The book of Genesis is about beginnings. A beginning is a point in which something starts. Genesis means beginning. This book begins the Holy Scriptures and shows us the beginning of very important things. It serves as a foundation for all the Scriptures which follow. Do you know what a foundation is? A foundation is the basis or support for something. It could be an idea or fact which serves as a foundation for a belief or teaching. For example, being friendly is a foundation for having friends. An unfriendly person will likely not have friends (Prov. 18:24).
