- Genesis 3:15 KJV

The KJV Bible is renowned for its rich language and theological depth, and possibly the most relevant verse in the entire text is found in Genesis 3:15. This verse often referred to as the "Protevangelium" or "Protoevangelium," carries profound significance for Christians as it sets the stage for the entire biblical narrative. It is the first prophecy in the Bible.

Daily Devotion: The Foundational Importance of Genesis by J.E. Smith

Bible Reading: Genesis 1:1-8 KJV 

Key Verse:  "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
- Genesis 1:1 KJV

Genesis may well be the most important book in the Bible. It is foundational to all matters discussed in the remainder of the Bible. In Genesis we learn about God, creation, science, man's purpose, marriage, family, Satan's plan, the original sin and why we need a Savior. To fully understand the other 65 books of the Bible, one needs be immersed in the fundamental concepts of Genesis. Below are a few of the important concepts:

Daily Devotion: Needful Grace by John MacDuff

Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 33:22-29 KJV

Key Verse:  "Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be."
- Deuteronomy 33:25 KJV

God does not give grace — until the hour of trial comes. But when it does come — the amount of grace, and the nature of the special grace required, is granted. My soul! do not dwell with painful apprehension on the future. Do not anticipate coming sorrows; perplexing yourself with the grace needed for future emergencies; tomorrow will bring its promised grace — along with tomorrow's trials.

Daily Devotion: Fear and Other Passions by James Meikle

Bible Reading: 1 Peter 2:17-24 KJV 

Key Verse:  "Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king."
- 1 Peter 2:17 KJV

Four things I should fear—God, myself, temptation, and sin. I should fear God, for his greatness; self, for its infirmity; temptation, for its danger; and sin for its defilement. I should fear God with love; myself with caution; sin with hatred; and temptation with resolution. The fear of God will take away the fear of man; the fear of self will moderate the love of self; the fear of sin will make watchful against sin; and the fear of temptation will be an antidote against temptation. My fear of God should be constant with cheerfulness; of self, constant with trembling; of sin, constant with watchfulness; and of temptation, constant with vigilance. The first is my attainment; the second is my duty; the third is my wisdom; and the fourth is my prudence.

Daily Devotion: Backsliding Christians by Wil Pounds

Bible Reading: Proverbs 14:7-14 KJV 

Key Verse:  "The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself."
- Proverbs 14:14 KJV

Have you ever temporarily lapsed into unbelief and sin after you became a Christian? The condition of backsliding results from spiritual apathy or disregard for the truth of God’s Word. It results in a departure from a winsome confession of faith and Biblical ethical standards. Actions are affected by our attitudes toward God and His Word.

Daily Devotion: Come Forth As Gold by Octavius Winslow

Bible Reading: Job 23:10-17 KJV 

Key Verse:  "But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold."
- Job 23:10 KJV

Untried, untrodden, and unknown as your future path may be, it is, each step, mapped, arranged, and provided for in the everlasting and unchangeable covenant of God. To Him who leads us, who accepts us in the Son of His love, who knows the end from the beginning, it is no new, or uncertain, or hidden way. 

Daily Devotion: Temptation by Charles Spurgeon

Bible Reading: 2 Samuel 11:1-8 KJV

Key Verse:  "And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon."
- 2 Samuel 11:2 KJV

At that hour David saw Bathsheba. We are never out of the reach of temptation. Both at home and abroad we are liable to meet with allurements to evil. The morning opens with peril, and the shadows of evening find us still in jeopardy. They are well kept—whom God keeps—but woe unto those who go forth into the world, or even dare to walk their own house unarmed. Those who think themselves secure, are more exposed to danger than any others. The armor-bearer of Sin—is self-confidence.
