The Touching and Warm Story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden
(Genesis 2:7) And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
(Genesis 2:18–20) And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them: and whatever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
(Genesis 2:22–23) And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her to the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Led by Almighty God’s word, let’s enter the touching and warm story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Almighty God says, “There is a key sentence in the verses concerning ‘God created Eve,’ and you may underline it: and whatever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. Who was the one that gave names to every living creature? It was Adam rather than God. This word tells man a fact: When God created man, He gave him wisdom. That is to say, man’s wisdom was from God. This is beyond doubt. Why?Since God created Adam, had Adam ever been to school? Could he read? After God created all the living creatures, did Adam know them when seeing them? Had God told him what their names were? God certainly had not taught him how to give names to every living creature either. This was a fact! Then how did he know how to give names to these living creatures and what names he should give to them? This had to do with such an issue as what God added to Adam when he was created. The fact proves that when God created man, He added his wisdom to man. This is a key point. You all shall hear it clearly! There is another key point that you should be clear about: After Adam gave names to these living creatures, to God the names of these living creatures were decided. Why do I say so? There was also God’s disposition here, and I have to explain it.
God created man, and He gave man his breath and also gave man some of His wisdom, of His power, and of what He has and is. After God gave man these, man could do something independently and think something independently. If what man thought out or what he did was good in God’s eyes, God would accept it and not interfere in it, and as for the right things man did, God would let them be so. Therefore, what does the word ‘and whatever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof’ mean? It means that God did not make any alteration to the name of each living creature and that whatever Adam called it, God said, ‘Yes,’ and God decided what that thing was called. Did God have any objection? No. This is certain! What have you seen here? God has given man wisdom, and man does things with the wisdom given by God; if what man does is a positive thing in God’s eyes, it is approved, acknowledged, and accepted by God, and God does not pass any judgment or make any criticism on it.” (from A Continuation of The Word Appears in the Flesh)
(Genesis 3:20–21) And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. To Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
Almighty God says, “In the picture ‘To Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them,’ whom do we see God stayed with Adam and Eve as? In the world where there were only two people, whom did God appear as? Did He appear as God? … God created these two people, and He regarded them as His companions, and He, as their only family, took care of their life and their food, clothing, shelter, and travel. Here, God appeared as the parent of Adam and Eve. In this thing God did, men cannot see God’s loftiness, cannot see God’s supremacy, and cannot see God’s mysteriousness and unfathomableness, much less see God’s wrath and majesty, but they only see God’s humbleness and God’s lovingkindness and see God’s concern for man and God’s responsibility and loving care for man. God treated Adam and Eve with the same attitude and in the same way as human parents are concerned about their children and also as human parents tenderly love, look after, and care for their children, true and real and visible and tangible. God did not stand in His lofty position but personally made the coats of skins for mankind and clothed them. Whether the coats were used to cover their shame or protect them against the cold, anyway, God did this thing in person and with His own hands, and it was not that God made the coats by a thought or by performing a sign to cover man’s body as people have imagined, but that He practically did a thing that mankind does not think He could do or should do. Although this thing is simple and men even think that it is not worth mentioning, it causes all those who follow God but have been full of vague imaginations about God to see God’s realness and God’s love liness and see God’s faithfulness and God’s humbleness. …
…God has been doing every single thing silently for mankind and doing everything by His sincerity, by His faithfulness, and with His love. But as to all these done by Him, He never has any hesitation or regret about them, never needs man to repay Him with anything, and never hopes to get something from man. His only purpose in doing all these is that He can gain man’s true faith and love for Him.” (from A Continuation of The Word Appears in the Flesh)
