「為什麼我是這個樣子？」「為什麼世界有那麼多苦難？」「為什麼在我內心深處總有莫名的失落與不安？」「我的生命有盼望嗎？」「聖經告訴我們，亞當夏娃察覺到自己的失落後，試著要自行處理，拿無花果葉為自己縫製圍裙穿上……他們心裡想的是：『我們要如何遮掩我們所失去的東西呢？』「創世記第三章是何等奇妙呀！……是整個文明歷史的總結！世人到底在所謂的文明當中做了什麼？竟然只是編織無花果葉來遮掩自己的裸體而已──這正是我們所謂『文明』的意義。」鍾馬田牧師帶領讀者經歷了創世記裡的救贖歷程，由人的墮落自主開始，一直到亞伯拉罕以信心回應上帝的呼召。它提到了蛇與罪、上帝的話語和人類文明的特徵。目的在於幫助讀者，將生命的焦點放在「信靠福音」，而非倚靠自己。本書一方面提醒不信的人看清自己失落的根源，在於離開了上帝；一方面鼓勵基督徒要堅定相信純正的福音，唯有基督耶穌能解答生命裡的一切難題。
"Why am I like this?" "Why is there so much suffering in the world?" "Why is there always inexplicable loss and anxiety deep in my heart?" "Is there any hope in my life?" "The Bible tells us that Adam and Eve perceives When they got lost, they tried to deal with it by themselves, using fig leaves to sew their aprons and put them on... What they thought in their hearts was: "How do we hide what we have lost?" "What is the third chapter of Genesis? It’s amazing!... It’s the summary of the entire civilization history! What did the world do in the so-called civilization? It turned out to be weaving fig leaves to cover up their nakedness - this is the meaning of what we call "civilization"." - Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The pastor leads readers through the redemptive process in Genesis, starting from the fall of man and continuing to Abraham's faithful response to God's call. He mentions snakes and sins, God's words, and the characteristics of human civilization. The purpose is to help readers focus on "trusting the gospel" rather than relying on themselves. On the one hand, this book reminds unbelievers to see that the source of their loss lies in leaving God; on the other hand, it encourages Christians to firmly believe in the pure gospel. Only Christ Jesus can answer all the problems in life.
