Genesis 1:1 (ESV) “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” This sublime pronouncement forms the opening words of the Holy Word of God. It is essentially a concise statement of the doctrine of creation, which is the most basic doctrine of our faith. These words lay the foundation not only for everything that follows in the Book of Genesis but particularly also for everything that follows in God’s Word. Therefore it is crucial to state that everything depends on the first verse of Genesis.
