About this video
Runtime: 11 minsDavid Firth on the mission of God in biblical theology. Firth emphasizes tracing the Mission of God through the Old Testament, starting with Genesis 1 to understand God's plan to restore a rebellious creation to Himself. Genesis 1 portrays a good, ordered world with humans as image-bearers, given authority to rule. However, Genesis 3 introduces alienation—between humans, creation, and God—due to sin. This alienation deepens in Genesis 4-11, with violence and the Flood, yet God's covenant with creation shows His commitment despite rebellion. Each covenant is followed by sin, highlighting humanity's persistent rebellion. The narrative shifts with God's call to Abram in Genesis 12, initiating God's mission to bless all nations, addressing humanity's rebellion.
