The Song of Creation

If you live in North America or Europe, the question almost everyone has in mind when they read Genesis 1 is “How?” They ask, “How did it happen? How long did it take?” 

But how questions aren’t as important as why questions. What you really need to know about this world is why did God make it? What is it for? Why do we feel the way we feel about it? How do we live in it? 

Let’s look at what Genesis teaches us about 1) how the world began, but most importantly, 2) why the world began.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 15, 2000. Series: Genesis – The Gospel According to God. Scripture: Genesis 1:1-8, 31.
