Peter Believed Genesis!

Yesterday we learned that the apostle Paul treated Genesis as literal history and as foundational to the gospel. Well, the apostle Peter did too!

In his letters he refers to the flood of Noah’s day as a historical event and that only eight people were saved. He even ties that past event to the second coming of Christ. He says that scoffers will deny Christ’s second coming because they also deny God’s supernatural creation of the universe and Noah’s flood.

The biblical authors took Genesis literally and we should too! After all, that’s how the text naturally reads . . . as a real historical narrative, well, from the very first verse.
