Genesis 2:7 (NKJV) 7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
Before humanity was created, the earth was empty and void.
There was nothing here.
There was no light, no land, no sea, no food, no trees, no herbs, no sea creatures nor animals, and no man!
There was no life whatsoever.
God created Adam, the first man, from the dust of the ground, With His hands He formed him.
After this, He breathed His own breath into Adam’s nostrils. Humanity began on this earth.
And that my friend is how life began!
Eve, on the other hand, was formed from Adam’s rib.
God caused Adam to go into a deep sleep. He then opened him up, took out a rib, and sealed up the wound.
When Adam woke from this deep sleep, he knew that Eve was bone of his bones, flesh of his flesh!
How simply beautiful. Adam called her woman because she was taken out of man.
The Hebrew word for man is Ish. And for woman, it is Ishshah!
God supplied everything for Adam and Eve.
He gave them everything to enjoy. But He told them they could not touch one specific tree in the garden.
As we all know, Adam and Eve fell. They disobeyed God.
Temptation got the best of them.
Let us not look down at Adam and Eve for disobeying God. Instead, let us learn from it.
It is a big lesson for us all. These things can happen quickly. And no one is exempt from it.
Consider these things:
Adam and Eve were not lacking or in need of anything when this took place.
They were advised by God. They knew right from wrong.
And most importantly, they were as close as anyone could get to God. Had they called on His name, He would surely have helped them to resist.
None of us ever wants to disobey God. But it does happen at times.
Thankfully, He made a way for us to be redeemed through the blood of Christ.
Please join us tomorrow as we discuss this further.
