Genesis 2:4 - 2:20

GenesisSteve Gregg
In this discussion of Genesis 2:4-2:20, Steve Gregg sheds light on the different account of the creation story in the Bible. He explains that the past perfect tense in Hebrew can make it seem like events happened in a different order than they did. The depiction of the creation of man and his assigned responsibility to till the ground, as well as the complementary roles of men and women, are also explored in detail. Lastly, the discussion touches on the need to abide in Christ for eternal life and the importance of trusting in God's grace rather than trying to follow legalistic laws.
