BIBLE BOOK CHAPTER VERSE: Genesis 2 | God Forms Humanity and Establishes the Garden | Creation

### **Completion of Creation (Genesis 2:1–3)**
Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. On the seventh day God ended His work and rested. He blessed the seventh day and sanctified it.
—
### **Man Formed from the Dust (Genesis 2:4–7)**
This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created.
The Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. Man became a living being.
—
### **The Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:8–14)**
The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed.
Out of the ground, God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. In the midst of the garden were the tree of life, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it divided into four rivers—Pishon, Gihon, Tigris, and Euphrates.

### **Man’s Purpose and God’s Command (Genesis 2:15–17)**
The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden to tend and keep it. He commanded the man, saying:
“Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day you eat of it you shall surely die.”

### **Naming the Animals (Genesis 2:18–20)**
The Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.”
Before creating a suitable helper, God brought all the animals to Adam to see what he would name them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name.
Yet for Adam, no helper comparable to him was found.

### **Creation of Woman (Genesis 2:21–25)**
So the Lord caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam. He took one of his ribs, closed up the flesh, and made it into a woman. He brought her to the man.
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.”
Therefore, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

### **LET’S REFLECT**
Genesis 2 reveals the intimacy of creation. God didn’t just speak man into existence—He formed him by hand and gave him His breath. Humanity was made for relationship with God, entrusted with purpose, and designed for companionship.

### **SAY WITH ME**
“I am formed by God, filled with His breath, and made for His purpose.”

### **SAY WITH ME ONCE MORE**
“I am formed by God, filled with His breath, and made for His purpose.”

### **HOW TO APPLY THIS**
* Remember: your worth is rooted in God’s design, not in what the world says.
* Approach your work as worship—Adam’s tending of the garden was holy responsibility.
* Value relationships: God created us to live in community, not isolation.
