God created everything and everyone for His glory. 

  • Genesis 1:1, 27, Isaiah 41:4, 43:7, 45:12,  Proverbs 16:4, Hebrews 2:10, Psalms 19:1, 24:1,  Romans 1:20, 11:36, Colossians 1:16, Psalm 33:6, 148:5, Nehemiah 9:6, Acts 17:26, & Revelation 4:11.

God made everything good, with no room for improvement. “It was very good.”

  • Genesis 1:31, 2:1-3, James 1:17, 1 Timothy 4:4-5.

God made people in His image to reflect His glory and fill the earth. 

  •  Genesis 1:28

Instead of believing God and trusting God, Adam and Eve began believing things that were not true about God and decided to be their own judges of what is good and evil. 

  • Genesis 3:1-19
God cast Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden, brought on judgment, cursed the ground, promised deliverance, and guarded the way to the tree of life so that they could not live forever in their fallen state. 
  • Genesis 3:16-19, 22-24, Isaiah 59:2

God covered Adam and Eve with the skins of animals that died in their place, as a covering, in substitution for their own immediate physical death. 

  • Genesis 3:21

God promised that the Seed of the woman would crush the head of the serpent who deceived them.  

  • Genesis 3:15
We see more of God’s heart about His design and purpose through His promises regarding His restoration with the new heavens, new earth, and new Jerusalem. 
  •  Romans 8:21, Revelation 21:4, 8, 27 

Instead of reflecting His glory and goodness as His image bearers, just as Cain killed Abel (Genesis 4:1-24), people chose to pursue their own glory through violence, rather than reflect God’s glory by faith.  

  • Genesis 6:5-8, 11-13
Noah believed God, so God told Noah to build an ark to save his family and land animals from God’s wrath in the global flood. 
  • Genesis 6:8, 22, 7:1, 5, Hebrews 11:7
In judgment against faithlessness, wickedness, and violence, God destroyed the world, the people and all land creatures.

After the global flood, God repeated to Noah His command to Adam and Eve.
  • Genesis 9:1

The repeating theme is that God wants to fill the earth with people who believe Him, reflecting the goodness of His glorious character. 

Instead filling the earth, people chose to stay in one place to make their own name great. So God confuesed their one language into many and scattered them all over the earth.
