This is Ken Ham, encouraging the church to stand on God’s Word from the very first verse.
During his teaching ministry on earth, Jesus frequently quoted the Old Testament. He mentioned Adam and Eve as the first married couple, Noah and the flood as a real event, Lot and his wife as real people who fled the city of Sodom before its divine destruction, and other accounts from Genesis and beyond.
This reminds us that, yes, Genesis is literal history. Many Christians today argue the first eleven chapters of Genesis were mythology but that’s not how Jesus treated those accounts! He speaks of Adam and Eve in the same way he speaks of Lot and his wife, Moses, or Jonah.
Genesis—it’s history from the beginning!
