IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN

It is of great importance to revisit again Genesis chap.1-4 and by large make an exposition of this massive texts.Three things we must discuss now;God ,man and sin.God as the first character is pictured as the (Elohim)the creator of the heaven and the earth.His omnipotent, Omniscience and Omnipresent is extremely expressed in the creation.His divine excellences visible and invisible

we must also say that everything that God created was good (1;4,10,12,18,21,25,31).This is because God is good and whatever proceed from Him must be good and fresh.

1.image and likeness of God Verse 26-27,God creates mankind in His image and likeness.God who is perfect,holy and righteous creates mankind perfect and holy.wonderfully and fearfully made,upright was man tangible and intangible,the seen and the unseen.Therefore,it is self evident that man carries the life of God.This is very vital to grasp. 3.rulership and authority Theologian would you a technical term,Vice-regent.Man becomes manager together with God.That term vice regent means the one ruling under a higher/premium authority of another,for example, governors of the county under the president of that country.we are told in chap.2;26,28,were given to man.Adam began to reign over the creation of God as everything was given and brought to him verse 19. 4.All kinds of fruit 1;29 every tree that has seeds in it was for food to man.every green plant for food verse 30.chap.2;9trees that were pleasing to the aye and good for food.The tree of life was also in the garden. 5.God coming in the garden of Eden chap.3;8, proofs that God and Adam have been having a perfect fellowship.Therefore we must say with boldness and hail that the presence of God in the garden of Eden is the greatest blessings of all.we must pay close attention to this particular blessing because of the description of the garden, tranquility and serene and calmness make it a paradise.The greatest blessing is God giving Himself to mankind.The coming ofGod was His closeness,presence and nearness to man.Consequently,to miss this is to miss Christ and to miss Christ is to miss the gospel and to miss the gospel is to miss salvation and redemption and to miss salvation and redemption is to to damn the undying souls of men into eternal perdition.This is the centrality of the gospel. 6.covenanta arrangement
