Read Day 2 – January 2, 2026
(This is part of a year-long chronological/harmonized Bible reading plan that follows the biblical narrative in order.)
Genesis 3:1 – 4:26
- The serpent deceives Eve, leading to the Fall: Adam and Eve disobey God, bringing sin, shame, and curse into the world.
- God pronounces judgments (pain in childbirth, toil, expulsion from Eden); Cain murders Abel, and the line of Seth is introduced as the godly remnant.
Matthew 1:1-17
- The genealogy of Jesus Christ is traced through three sets of 14 generations: from Abraham to David, David to the exile, and exile to Christ.
- The list establishes Jesus as the promised Messiah, the legal heir of David and rightful King, through Joseph’s line.
