The Main Idea: The Creator/creature distinction dictates man’s banishment from the garden so God can be clearly understood as both Judge and Redeemer. The Central Point: The LORD God drives Adam out to drive Adam to… So Adam: Run for your life! *The Big Question: If the LORD God is so kind and good, why is he so ready to drive Adam away?
The LORD God is so ready to drive Adam away because:
He Knows Adam Will Rebel (v. 22)
He Wants Adam to Reflect (v. 23)
He Guards Adam for Redemption (v. 24)
