The Flood and the Institution of Human Government
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days;…
Clothing and the Line of Seth
God has cursed mankind and left them with only one hope, the Seed of the woman. Now we see God clothe Adam and Eve. Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. Genesis 3:21 Just as God created man, created woman, and created marriage, now God creates clothing. Because there is only a married man and woman on the earth we see that clothing was not created to stop sexual…
God’s Remedy: The Gospel
Up until this point we have seen that God created man for His glory. We looked at the idea of dominion, masculinity, femininity, marriage, children, etc. We saw that Adam and Eve completely failed God at every single point when they sinned. We then saw how sin has completely affected every aspect of human existence. The point of the first three chapters of Genesis is to expose the complete failure of Adam and all those who inherit his nature. We…
Sin’s Effects
The choice to sin was in reality a choice by Adam and Eve to know and experience both good and evil. Up until this point all they had ever known was good; now they begin to know evil. The moment they ate the fruit, they died spiritually. From here we can see the effects of sin. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves…
Sin
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? Genesis 3:1 Sin begins with the temptation to not believe God. All sin is born out of unbelief. And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the…
Marriage
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Genesis 1:27 God created man and woman in His image. The man and woman were united in a covenant called marriage. This covenant relationship between man and woman is one of the greatest displays of God’s glory. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and…
Femininity
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Genesis 1:27 Although man was created first, both man and woman bear the image of God. Male and female are of equal value and worth in the eyes of God. And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground…
Masculinity
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Genesis 1:26-27 God made man in His image and…
Why Did God Create?
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:1 God existed before anything else ever was. The beginning of time was when God created the earth on which we now dwell. For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by…
