6 - Les Feldick Bible Study Lesson 2 - Part 2 - Book 1 - Creation of Adam

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Adam and Eve Created – The Three Circles Genesis 1:6 – 2:7 Remember we merely spoke of the fact that the plural pronoun here in this verse referred to the Triune God, - God the Father – God the Son, - God the Holy Spirit. We’re going to find that the Triune God is going to create a creature after His own image. Now this is hard for us to comprehend because at this point in time, God is Spirit. Let’s divide man into what the Scripture calls him, Body, Soul, and Spirit. Others will say, "No, man is soul." The reason we’re looking at these verses is merely to establish that the Scripture does speak of man as being, Body, Soul, and Spirit. So there you have the three parts that make up mankind in the body, soul, and spirit. Now come on over to another verse in Hebrews chapter 4, and let’s drop in at verse 12. So man if I may take you back again to Genesis chapter 1:26 Genesis 1:26a "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:…" Not so much in the physical body appearance, because we know nothing of God having a body or a physical appearance, but the image is in the area of the soul and spirit which are invisible! "God the Father – God the Son – God the Holy Spirit" Each one of those have enough Scriptural verses to back me up when I say that God the Father has mind, will and emotions. God the Son has mind will and emotions. God the Holy Spirit is also a person, and He too has mind, will and emotions. Now that’s what makes a personality, and it was in that area of the person that we’re created in the image of God, because God has all of these attributes. So right from the beginning Adam has total and complete fellowship with his Creator. Our body is just a tent in which God has placed a person, the personality, the invisible personality of the mind, will and the emotions. God also put along side of it, a spirit entity that is capable of communication and fellowship with his Creator. This soul part of us will never die. It’s as eternal as God is eternal. Now, starting out Adam is created sinless, perfect, he has a body that will never have to die. He’s got a soul that is in perfect fellowship and communion with God as is his spirit. As I see scripture, this is the primary reason for man being created in the first place. God wants a creature that He can love and will see that love returned. I am of the mentality that if a home survives or doesn’t survive, I blame the man. Ephesians 5:21-22 "Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 22. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord." It merely means that the woman recognizes that God has ordained that the man is to be the head of the home. Ephesians 5:22-23 "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. We’re going to have a new body someday, but until we do, it’s not just the salvation of the soul God is concerned with, but with the whole person – the body, the soul and the spirit. Now verse 24. Ephesians 5:24 Everything is just so perfectly ordained, if we will just do it God’s way. Alright now verse 25. "Husbands, love your wives,…." The Scripture never tells the wife to love the husband. Never! The reason is, and this is why I tie this in with Genesis chapter 1, just as surely as God put man on the scene with a will, that when God would extend His love and His Grace and blessings on this creature, God expected love returned. Because God has created within the woman that responsiveness that when the man extends his love, she’s going to respond and you have a happy relationship. God puts him on the scene with that opportunity of living forever. 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." Let’s go to Genesis chapter 5. Genesis 5:1-2 "This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him. Now verse 2) 2. Male and female created he them; and blessed them, (now watch the plural pronoun) and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created." He didn’t call them Adam and Eve. Not even Adam and woman. But he blessed them and called their name Adam. Adam is still alone. Genesis 2:18 Genesis 2:19-20 "And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them; And whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. Romans chapter 5:12a It doesn’t say by Adam and Eve sin entered into the world." #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
