Title: Made With a Purpose (4)
Series: Genesis: In the Beginning
Text: Genesis 2:4-17
Author: Bob Ingle
Open your bibles to Genesis 2. Chapters one & two of Genesis are all about God's amazing personal and active role in creation. When you read those first two chapters on creation, they are a bit different from one another. And the reason for the difference is the focus. I remember someone saying, "Genesis one is focused on looking at creation through a telescope. It's a big, wide, 30,000 ft view of creation from a distance. But Genesis two is focused on looking at creation more under a microscope. It's close up view. It's main focus is on the apex of God's creation: humanity."
Genesis 2 features the creation of our first parents, Adam and Eve. Probably after the birth of Jesus, this is the most widely read and the most well-known story in the history of the world.
But today we're not going to just zero in on what happened when God created people, but why. For what purpose did God create Adam and Eve and the rest of the human population? I think Genesis 2 begins to outline the purpose for which Adam & Eve were made, and subsequently, the purpose for which we were made.
Would you stand with me for the reading of God's Word? Genesis 2:4-17 (READ).
*Every Person Has Been Made...
1. TO PERSONALLY DEPEND ON GOD.
God created people not as a distant Creator, but as our personal Lord.
V7-8: "Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed."
One of the ways we are to see how God created us to be personally dependent upon Him is that we are given a new name for God in chapter 2:7. You might remember that all of ch1, the name used for God is Elohim, which is God's power name. It carries the idea of God's sovereig ...
