CAUTION AGAINST PRIDE & DECEPTION

When Adam and Eve were created, the Scripture says that “God created man in his own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.”(Genesis 1:27)

In this perfect and sinless state, the male and female were created with God like qualities which were in some measure similar and yet distinctly unique:

Male and Female

1.      Genesis 1:26 “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.”

2.      Genesis 1:27 “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”

3.      Genesis 1:28 “And God blessed them and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”

4.      Genesis 1:29-30 “And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.  And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.”

5.      Genesis 1:31 “And God saw every thing that he had made, and behold, it was very good.  And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.”

6.      Genesis 2:7 “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 soul.”

7.      Genesis 2:8 “And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.”

8.      Genesis 2:15 “And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.”

9.      Genesis 2:16-17 “And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”

10.  Genesis 2:18 “And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.”

11.  Genesis 2:21-22 “And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.”

12.  Genesis 2:23 “And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.”

13.  Genesis 2:24 “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”

14.  Genesis 2:25 “And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.”
