This booklet was originally presented as a sermon on April 4, 1901. It shows that there was a reason for the writing out of the book of Genesis at the time of the deliverance of the children of Israel from Egypt. It was not done merely because they were starting to lose their knowledge of the past, but for a much greater reason.
That reason, Jones argues, was because their deliverance was to be accomplished by the creative power of God, and so they needed to become acquainted with that power, as revealed in the creation of the world.
Furthermore, the creative power of God is revealed again in the presentation of the final gospel message to the world (see Revelation 14:6,7). Therefore, we also need to become acquainted with the power of creation, and how that power works for our salvation and the final display of the gospel. 21p
