IT WAS VERY GOOD
Genesis 1:26-2:3
Key Verse 1:31
When God created man, what was his plan (26)? What can we say about man’s place in the relationship between God, man, and created things? (Ps 8:4-8)
In whose image was man created (27)? Think about man’s original nature. (Eph 4:24; 1Jn 4:7,8; 1Pe 1:15,16)
After creating man, how did God bless him (28)? Considering how God’s blessing was a mission for Adam, what does this say about man’s existence? And about what true blessing is?
How did God solve the problem of sustenance of man and the animals (29,30)?
After God had created man last of all, what heartfelt testimony did He give (31)? Here let’s think about: 1) What absolute meaning of life we must we have, and 2) What our fundamental purpose is.
6. After creating the heavens and the earth, what did God do on the seventh day (2:1,2)? How did God bless the seventh day (3)? What kind of day is the Sabbath? (Ex 20:8-11) How can we gain true rest for our souls? (Mt 11:28,29)
