Life Comes from Death (Genesis 1:9–13)

The apostle Paul says that death entered the world through sin (Romans 5:12). How do we square that with the fact that God created fertile soil on Day 3, since soil is by its very definition the history of the death of organisms? In this episode, Pastor Biebert discusses possible answers to this difficult question, and the devotional value of the question itself.Music Credit: J. S.
