Creation
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, ordered the world by His word, and made humanity, male and female, in His own image to rule and care for it. The New Testament adds that everything was made through the Word who became flesh in Jesus.

The call of Abraham
God told Abram to leave his country and family for a land He would show him, promising to make him a great nation, to bless him, and to bless all the families of the earth through him. Abram went, at seventy-five, and built altars in the land of Canaan.
Focus this layer - Person
Adam
Adam was the first human being, formed by God from the dust of the ground and placed in the garden of Eden to work and keep it. With Eve he disobeyed God's one command and was sent out of the garden. Genesis, Luke's genealogy, and Paul's letters all treat him as the head of the human family.
Focus this layer - Person
Eve
Eve was the first woman, made by God from Adam's side as his partner and named by him because she would be the mother of all the living. Deceived by the serpent, she ate the forbidden fruit and gave it to her husband. God's promise that her offspring would crush the serpent is spoken in her hearing.
Focus this layer - Place
Eden
Eden was the garden God planted in the east and where He placed the first humans, with the tree of life at its center. After the fall, God sent the man and woman out and set cherubim to guard the way back to the tree of life.
Focus this layer - Theme
Promise and fulfillment
Promise and fulfillment is the pattern by which the New Testament reads the Old: God speaks in advance through prophets, patterns, and covenants, and the Gospels show those words coming true in Jesus. FaithGraph labels each such link by the kind of evidence behind it.
Focus this layer - Theme
Sacrifice and atonement
Sacrifice and atonement is the biblical pattern by which sin is covered and fellowship with God restored through a life given in place of the guilty. From the garments of skin in Eden and the ram in place of Isaac to the Passover lamb and the offerings of the law, the Old Testament teaches that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. The New Testament proclaims that Jesus offered Himself once for all.
