… while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh and the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man then the man said this at last is a 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 his mother and hold fast to his wife and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed. Okay, truth number one. God created men and women with equal dignity. Truth number two. God created men and women with different roles. Different roles. Clearly, in so many ways, God created man and woman from the very beginning differently. There's a reason why there's male and female here. There's a reason, multiple reasons actually. While male and female are distinct, they're designed by God to be that way. …
… closed up its place with flesh, and the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into the church and brought her to the Christ. Therefore, the Christ shall hold fast to his church and they shall become one flesh. And of course, that's not how Genesis 2 reads yet, But Paul does quote verse 24 in Ephesians chapter 5 As you know, this mystery is profound And I'm saying that it refers to Christ in the church So this mystery of marriage that remained an enigma For thousands of years Is now revealed In the coming of Jesus Why did God design the world like he did and us like he did male and female just so basic everywhere It is a losing fight to try to cover it up and pretend like it's not that way And now at the coming of Jesus and the making of his church, the cat's out of the bag. The mystery's revealed. Temporal marriage is patterned on God's eternal plan to make a bride for his son, to bring her to him and make them one. …
… I will make him a helper fit for him. Now out of the ground, the Lord God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all livestock and the birds of the heavens and every beast of the field. But for Adam, there was not found a helper fit for him. So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man. And while he slept, took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man, he made into a woman and brought her to the man. Then the man said, this at last is 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 his mother and hold fast to his wife and they shall become one flesh. …
… wouldn't be as severe as it was originally represented over a piece of fruit. the snake was envious and furious because the snake had an advanced copy of genesis chapter 2 verse 22 i want you to look it up in your bible genesis 2 verse 25 i'm sorry genesis 2 25 which says adam and his wife watch what it says this is not my words genesis 2 verse 25 adam and his wife were both naked. Here it is. And they felt no shame. That's going to mean something in a minute. Genesis 2 verse 25. Both Adam and his wife were both naked and they felt no shame. And that slippery snake heard it and went into action. Y'all not going to believe it? I need somebody to write this down. it's gonna blow your mind this time can you imagine that part of the satanic strategy of satan against you is to tattoo you with shame that the enemy is not fully happy until he has you live with embarrassment because he knows that shame is not a part of divine alignment. …
Then he took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. The Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. The man 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. For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife, And they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed." So in Genesis chapter 2, God basically creates a man, and then from that man creates a woman, and inaugurates what Peter calls the grace of life, which is marriage. And marriage in Scripture has a number of purposes. One, companionship, and that's what you see here. Man needed a helper suitable for him. Marriage also has the purpose of procreation. Back in chapter 1, it says, in a broad sense, God created man in His own image and said, be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. …
