The fact is, if you never opened the first three chapters of Genesis, if you never saw the first three chapters of Genesis, if you knew zero about the first three chapters of Genesis, if suddenly the first three chapters of Genesis vanished from Christianity, it would do nothing to undermine Christianity.

Because Christianity began when Jesus rose from the dead, and His closest followers recognized that He was who He claimed to be. People followed Jesus after the resurrection because of the resurrection. That’s how Christianity got started. It is not near as fragile as many think; and it certainly does not hang by a thread of the first three chapters of Genesis. It’s much more sturdier than that. If it was that fragile, Christianity would have never survived the 1st century.

Again, I look to a single event that took place outside the walls of Jerusalem when God allowed His son to die, to pay for your sin and my sin, and to assure that you and I can be and are in right standing with God.


Every day on this side of the ground is a win.
