How do we know the gospel is present in the story of creation?

Answered in 1 source

The gospel is illustrated in the creation narrative by God's acts of grace and His sovereign purpose for humanity.

In the creation account, not only is the sovereignty of God displayed, but the gospel message is also woven throughout. For instance, the creation of man in God's image reflects His redemptive purpose for humanity. Just as God created man and saw that it was good, His redemptive plan through Christ brings forth salvation for the chosen. The reference to Noah illustrates this succinctly; he was delivered by grace despite his wickedness, symbolizing the future deliverance through Christ. The story of creation serves as a backdrop, emphasizing that from the very beginning, God's handiwork points towards the necessity of grace and redemption for mankind.
