January 1

Today is the first day of our unique bible study: Listing Your Way Through the Bible. If you are pressed for time, you could just do one or two lists.

January 1, 2011:  The readings for today are Genesis 1 & 2 and Matthew 1. Here are some lists for the reader to contemplate while reading.

Genesis 1 & 2:

• List everything that God created by day in the order He created it.

• List what God did in the garden of Eden.

• List the names of the four headwaters from the river in Eden along with the place it is located and anything else that is mentioned in that place.

• What is the name of the forbidden tree? What was the instruction God gave Adam concerning this tree.

• Starting in Gen. 2:18, list the events that God did for the creation of Eve.

Matthew 1:

Verse 1:17 states that there were 14 generations from Abraham to David, 14 from David to the Babylonian exile, and 14 from the exile to the bith of Christ. List the 3 levels of generations.

• From Abraham to David (1-6a)

• From David to the exile (6b-11)

• From the exile to the birth of Christ (11-17)

From verse 18-24, list briefly the events that occurred

Please leave me a comment about your discoveries or insights.
