GENESIS 2
28Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and
govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that
scurry along the ground.”
29Then God said, “Look! I have given you every seed-bearing plant throughout
the earth and all the fruit trees for your food. 30And I have given every green plant
as food for all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, and the small animals that
scurry along the ground—everything that has life.” And that is what happened.
31Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good!
And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day.
2
So the creation of the heavens and the earth and everything in them was
completed. 2On the seventh day God had finished his work of creation, so he
rested* from all his work. 3And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy,
because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation.
4This is the account of the creation of the heavens and the earth.
B. THE STORY OF ADAM (2:4–5:32)
Learning about our ancestors often helps us understand ourselves. Adam and Eve, our first ancestors, were
the highlight of God’s creation—the very reason God made the world. But they didn’t always live the way God
intended. Through their mistakes, we can learn important lessons about the way God wants us to live. Adam and
Eve teach us much about the nature of sin and its consequences.
