This book tells us that God created all things, including time, and He made the universe in six days. The first man and woman were named Adam and Eve and they were perfect. They lived in the idyllic Garden of Eden and the world had no sin or death. Yet they disobeyed the only restriction that God had given them, which was not to eat the forbidden fruit, and because of their sin, death and corruption entered the world. Mankind grew progressively more wicked and so God sent a great flood to wipe out all life on the earth. He spared his faithful servant Noah and his family by having them build a large wooden ark that contained Noah's family and a variety of animals that would be used to repopulate the earth. God began to reveal a grand plan for the redemption of mankind and the corrupted Creation. He chose a man named Abraham who trusted God through faith, and through Abraham's son Isaac, and Isaac's son Jacob, God created the nation of Israel through which will come the Redeemer and Savior of the world - the Messiah.
