The Gospel Begins in Genesis: Why Creation and the Fall Matter

The gospel doesn't begin in the New Testament. It begins in Genesis. In this episode of Equipping You in Grace, Dave Jenkins explains why creation, the fall, and a literal Adam are essential to understanding the gospel. If Genesis is removed or redefined, the message of redemption collapses. Genesis 3:15 is the first promise of the gospel—the announcement of a Savior who would crush the serpent. From that moment forward, the entire Bible unfolds this promise through covenants, sacrifices, and prophecy, all fulfilled in Jesus Christ. This episode addresses: • Why the gospel requires Genesis • Why a literal Adam is essential • How Genesis 3:15 anchors the storyline of Scripture • How Christ fulfills the promise through His life, death, and resurrection • How believers live in the victory Christ has secured The gospel is not a disconnected message. It is the fulfillment of what God promised from the beginning. For more from Equipping You in Grace, visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/equipping-you-in-grace-2/
