Genesis 1 is the foundation of everything—creation, purpose, identity, and God’s eternal power. In the True Words Scripture Notebook, each chapter is designed to help you understand Scripture deeply, remember it accurately, and build a lifetime map of the Bible. This guide walks you through Genesis 1 with verbal anchors, visual anchors, doctrine summaries, memory patterns, and study prompts that make this first chapter unforgettable.
If you’ve ever wanted to remember every chapter of the Bible, this is where the journey begins.
Emotional Anchor
A dark, empty universe—then God speaks, and everything explodes into existence.
Genesis 1 is about the God who brings light, order, meaning, and life out of nothing.
Visual Anchor
A single spoken word cracking open the darkness, releasing the first light.
This image becomes the mental picture that locks the chapter into long-term memory.
Pattern Anchor
The whole chapter moves in a clean, simple pattern:
Forming → Filling → Finishing
- Days 1–3: God forms
- Days 4–6: God fills
- Day 7: God finishes
This structure is the key to remembering Genesis 1 at a glance.
Verbal Anchor
Short, unforgettable phrase:
“God speaks—and it becomes.”
This summary is short enough to recall instantly and strong enough to explain the entire chapter.

Chapter Doctrines
- God’s Eternal Preexistence:
Before light, matter, or time — God is (Genesis 1:1). - Creation by Divine Word:
God does not shape preexisting material — He creates by command. - Literal, Ordered Creation:
Each day is literal, numbered, sequential, and defined by light first, darkness second;
“the evening and the morning” marks the completion of each full day. - Goodness of Creation:
Reality is not accidental or evil — God calls it “good” repeatedly. - Uniqueness of Man:
Only man is made in God’s image — capable of relationship, morality, and dominion. - Male & Female Distinction:
Human identity and purpose originate from God’s design on Day 6. - Blessing & Purpose:
God commands fruitfulness, multiplication, and stewardship.

The purpose is to help you understand, remember, and teach Genesis 1 with clarity. The notebook provides a chapter summary, themes, doctrines, memory anchors, and structured space for your personal study notes — all focused on the KJV Bible.
Why does Genesis 1 matter so much for understanding the rest of the Bible?
Genesis 1 lays the foundation for creation, identity, purpose, morality, and the nature of God. Every major doctrine begins here: God’s power, God’s Word, human value, male and female distinction, and the goodness of creation. You cannot understand the Bible or the Gospel without Genesis 1.

Write key verses, repeated phrases (“And God said…”), observations about the six-day structure, doctrines that stand out, questions you have, and cross references. Create “mental handles” that help you remember the chapter. For example: “Day 1 – Light; Day 6 – Image of God.”

Pattern Anchor: Forming → Filling → Finishing.

Does Genesis 1 teach literal 24-hour days?
Yes. Every day is defined by light first, darkness second, and closed by the phrase “the evening and the morning.” Scripture gives six literal, sequential days of creation, not symbolic ages.
Why is the phrase “And God said” repeated so many times in Genesis 1?
Because God creates by His Word. The repetition emphasizes His absolute authority — He commands, and creation instantly obeys. This becomes a theme throughout all Scripture, especially the Gospel of John.
What does it mean that man is made in the image of God?
It means man alone reflects God in ways no animal or angel does — with personality, morality, creativity, spiritual nature, and dominion. The image of God gives every human value, purpose, and responsibility.
What cross references should I add to my Genesis 1 notes?
Recommended KJV passages include:
John 1:1–3 — Christ as Creator
Psalm 33:6 — creation by God’s Word
Colossians 1:16–17 — all things created by Christ
These strengthen your understanding of creation across the Bible.
What is the single most important thing to remember about Genesis 1?
That God speaks and everything exists by His command. Genesis 1 reveals a God of order, power, design, purpose, and goodness — and mankind as His intentional creation.
How should I use the Genesis 1 page during sermons or Bible studies?
Bring your notebook with you and add insights, sermon points, or cross references as you hear preaching. Over time, your Genesis 1 page becomes a personal commentary — a tool for teaching, soul winning, and discipleship.
Why is this notebook based on the King James Version?
Because the KJV preserves the pure words of God without modern alterations, omissions, or doctrinal distortions. Using a single, accurate Bible translation ensures clarity, unity, and consistency in your study.
Is Genesis 1 scientifically accurate?
Yes. Genesis 1 describes creation as God reveals it, not as modern theories interpret it. Scripture declares what science observes: light before sun, water before land, order before life, and design behind everything.
How can children or beginners use this Genesis 1 notebook page?
Simplify it to:
Day 1: Light
Day 6: People
God made everything
God made me on purpose
Even young children quickly memorize the creation sequence using the anchors.
