We are in a series called First Family. We are looking at the first few chapters of Genesis. Last week we looked at the creation account. It is a unique view of creation. It stands in bold relief to all the accounts of origins we read about, first ,the mythological accounts of creation where creation is usually because of a conflict among the gods and the gods and the gods look with disdain on the humans they created and the world that they created. And secondly, it stands against modern views of origins in that matter is not eternal, nor is man the measure of all things. No God stands before creation and orders it, therefore there is a design, an oughtness about the world. We can’t shape it the way we would like, we submit to the givens to find freedom in a created world. And it is the most positive view of the world possible. The creation of the world comes from the loving heart of a God who out of the overflowing joy of his own being creates a home for his image bearers. Now this week we look at chapter 2 and see this remarkable account of God filling the world with his images—human beings. And as in creation so with humans, to be fully human we can’t make up who we are, our persons, or our sexuality—we too are born with givens. So, let’s look at chapter 2 which is the sixth day of creation looked at in detail.
