Study for January 12-18th
January 12–18: “In the Beginning God Created the Heaven and the Earth” Genesis 1-2, Moses 2-3 (Book of Moses), and Abraham 4-5 (Book of Abraham). These texts collectively emphasize God’s eternal plan and humanity’s divine purpose. Genesis provides the foundational biblical account of creation and Adam and Eve’s fall. The Book of Moses adds details: God created the world through command, governed spirits before Adam’s creation, and made covenants with humans. It highlights premortal existence and God’s role as a personal, involved Creator.
