33 Genesis 2:7-15 (excerpts) And the Lord God formed a man’s body from the dust of the ground and breathed into it the breath of life. And the man became a living person. Then the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there He placed the man He had created. And the Lord God planted all sorts of trees in the garden – beautiful trees that produced delicious fruit. At the center of the garden He placed the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The Lord God placed the man in the garden of Eden to tend and care for it. But the Lord God gave him this warning: “You may freely eat any fruit in the garden except fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat of its fruit, you will surely die. Still looking at creation and the beginning of history – how did we get to where we are! More importantly, is there any hope for a better future? First paragraph – man started from a humble beginning; but as we saw last week, God gave us some incredible gifts when He made us in His own image: the ability to think, to communicate very complex/abstract thoughts, the ability to enjoy deep personal relationships, the ability to know God Himself (which we have since lost – due to sin), etc. Beyond that, God created a wonderful environment in which to live, to enjoy Him, and to work on His behalf. Work was enjoyable and highly rewarding (again we have since lost that as well). But God gave us a test – God provided us with 2 trees and told us not to eat of the fruit of the one – with a stern warning. As we will see, they chose to disobey – with disastrous results. But all hope is not lost as we will see over the next few weeks. Adjectives; Articles; Adverbs
