MAN BECAME A LIVING BEING

 

MAN BECAME A LIVING BEING

Passage: Genesis 2:1-7

Key verse: 7

 

1. God rested on the seventh day (1-3)

God completed his creation work. It was perfect; there was nothing left undone

or needing change. So God rested and commemorated his handiwork on the

seventh day; he blessed the seventh day and made it holy. Likewise, man must

finish his work and set aside the Lord’s Day each week. Then mankind can

experience God’s blessing.

 

2. No man to work the earth (4-6)

This account of creation sharpens its focus on the creation of man. There were

no shrubs and trees , no rain falling from the skies, and no man to work the earth

yet. Still, the earth was made for man, and man was made to be a steward of the

earth.

 

3. God made man into a living being (7)

God made man from the dust; man was created as a physical being with

physical traits and desires. God also breathed his life into man’s nostrils, making

man a living being. Hence, man was formed as a spiritual being. Man’s life comes

from God and belongs to God, so man must have spiritual fellowship with God.

 

Prayer Lord, help me to finish my work, rest in you, and be blessed with real

spiritual life in my soul.

One Word Man’s life comes from God
