Why creation matters

Genesis is for us, but not directly to us.
Genesis explains to God's people leaving Egypt who God is and their relationship to Him.
God creates out of nothing, by His word.
There is a link between the original creation and the new creation: "Faith comes through hearing, and hearing through the Word of Christ" (Romans 10v17)
There is a difference between what man can make, and what only God can create.
It takes time for the purposes of God to be worked out in creation.
New creation: Christians are born from above.
God brings us into relationship to relate to us.
