Memory Verse: "Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments."  (Deuteronomy 7:9)

As we read Genesis, the first chapters tell us of God's perfect love and care for His creation.  As He saved the best for last, God created mankind made in His own image.  God gave them responsibility over the earth and the animals.  They lived in perfect relationship with God.  But as soon as they choose sin, they gave up their right to live in perfect harmony with God.  Try as they might, to cover their own sin and shame, it was not sufficient.  Only God can redeem us from sin.  From the very beginning of time, God gave the people the promise of the Redeemer, who would eventually pay the penalty for the sins of all mankind.  God redeems.
