Unit 01  Session 1

GOD CREATED HUMANITY

gENESIS 2:7, 15-25

 

Key Concept:

God created humanity for relationships.

In the beginning, in Genesis 1, God created the heavens and the earth. In six days, God created the domains of the sky, sea, and land and filled them with lights and living creatures. But for all the wonder of the created world around us and the universe beyond us, the Lord made human beings as the pinnacle of His creation. We were created, both male and female, uniquely in the image of God. The world was created for humanity and humanity for the world, a realm to steward together in God's name. And God declared it all to be "very good" in His sight. In Genesis 2, the Scripture zooms in on the creation of the man and woman God made in His image.

As you examine Genesis 2:7, 15-25:

✞   Identify how we ought to relate to God and others because of how God created humanity.
     
✞   Contemplate the changes that ought to occur in your life if you believe in the Bible's 
    account of the creation of humanity.
