The Book of Genesis is filled with messages for the reader, be they lessons on morality or laws. Each chapter of Genesis focus’ on another aspect of humanity, whether it is lessons on morality regarding Cain’s murder of Able (Gen 4.8) or sibling rivalry with Jacob and Esau (Gen 25.29). Genesis teaches us that we have unlimited potential within us (Gen 11.1), this potential can only be reached however by humanity working as one people, not scattered throughout the world.

Genesis explains that God has created for humanity a world full of life (Gen 1.26) and the ability to freely make choices for themselves (Gen 2.16). In giving humanity free will, he allowed humanity to know sin. Humankind’s greatest weakness is a propensity for sin, but these sins can be forgiven by God (Gen 18.22-33).
