Why Does Torah Matter

The Bible presents one unified story that begins in the Torah—Genesis through Deuteronomy—which lays the foundation for the rest of Scripture. These books reveal creation, humanity’s rebellion, God’s covenant promises, and His work through Israel. The later Scriptures build on this foundation, showing God continuing His plan of redemption according to His Word. Understanding the beginning of the Bible helps readers see how all Scripture fits together in the unfolding account of God’s dealings with His people.
