GENESIS CHAPTERS 2 and 3: ON THE RELATEDNESS OF GOD
Genesis Chapter 1 talks about the Sovereignty of God who by His power, authority and Word causes everything to exist.
Genesis Chapters 2 and 3 on the other hand talks about the RELATEDNESS OF GOD. Present our discussion of the each
Chapter: 2 and 3 in the given panel creatively. At the bottom is a COMPARISON and CONTRAST OF THE TWO CHAPTERS:
GENESIS 2 and 3.
GENESIS Chapter 2
 Genesis chapter 2 clearly intends it to
be understood as a real place in the
real world. This portion of Scripture
describes the river that runs out of it
and divides into four separate
rivers. Those rivers run through
places that would have been
especially familiar to Genesis' first
readers. They include the Tigris and
Euphrates, rivers that still flow
through the lands of Mesopotamia.
 God places the man in the garden
with specific work to do, such as
maintaining the garden and naming
the animals. There are no living things
which complement Adam as the
animals of the same kind correspond
to each other. So God takes a rib from
Adam and makes a helper and
companion for him. Eve becomes
Adam's wife.
 God obviously could have created
Eve from dust, as He did Adam, but
chose instead to form her out of
Adam's own body. In that way, they
truly existed in paradise, one beyond
just the plants and animals of a
garden.
Genesis Chapter 3
Fall/Conflict
In my own understanding in this chapter 3
 Man did not choose to obey God.
Man desired to be like God.
-When man choose to eat the fruit of the
knowledge of good and evil, they declared
independence from God, who has given and
provided them everything.
 Man wanted to be like God
-because they wanted to play God (knowing
good and evil)
 When they in fact, if they just ate the
tree of life, goodness will come our
through them because as they do,
God’s character and nature will be
seen in them. So they don’t have
known between good and evil because
goodness will just flow through them
when they RECEIVE the life of God
(Tree of life) Because of man declaring
independence from God being their
mastery were cursed
-Chapter 3 (The tree of life was guarded and
out of reach
 COMPARISON AND CONTRAST

In chapter 2 and 3 it tells about the same relationship and also it talks about the tree of
knowledge with God planted into the Garden of Eden. Chapter 2 talks about the creation of
first man which what we called Adam. God placed Adam into the Garden of Eden but God
thinks that Adam is not good to be alone that's why God gave Eve to Adam to be his wife.
Adam is told that they can eat freely to all the trees in the garden, except from the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil. This tells us that Adam and Eve should make a choice if they
could choose well or refuse the evil and eat the tree of life or maybe they will disobey God
and eat the tree of knowledge of good and evil and certainly die. And in chapter 3 it tells
about the conflict or fall it was told that they declared independence from God when they eat
the Tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Come up with a GRAPHIC/DRAWING that presents STEWARDSHIP OF CREATION. You may consider putting an IDEAL in
contrast to the REAL world or condition of the world today considering the question: How can I exercise stewardship in
this time of the new normal?

Stewardship proposes that human beings are entrusted with the earth to cultivate it and, at the same time, to
care for it. That’s why ‘We are stewards ‘In this creation of God all the resources at our disposal are not for us.
We understand our call to stewardship through our study of Genesis 2:15, ‘The Lord God took the man and put
him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it’. And also In the Hebrew the word for “care” is
“Shamar” which means to ‘watch, guard, protect’. This concept denotes our careful and close observation
specifically, an attentive and protective tending. In Genesis 2:15 it reveals that creation is to be worked, that
humans are created to be workers that work is the plan of God and not a curse, and humanity will be provided
for through creation. This also shows that, even before the fall, the creation needed to be cared for. This
aspect of caring for creation means we are to guard, nurture and protect creation a good articulation of roles of
a steward or servant.

Write a short explanation or REFLECTION on the above given output on STEWARDSHIP ON CREATION
Read the given scriptural texts. Briefly explain the story in the given columns. The first row is intended to provide a
summary of the text. The second row discusses how SIN [of Adam and Eve] affected the next generations of human
history.
Cain and Abel [Gen 4:1-16]
Genesis 4:1-16 Adam made love
to his wife Eve, and she became
pregnant and gave birth to
Cain. She said, With the help of
the LORD I have brought forth a
man. Later she gave birth to his
brother Abel. Now Abel kept
flocks, and Cain worked the
soil. In the course of time Cain
brought some of the fruits of
the soil as an offering to the
LORD.
So Cain was very angry, and his
face was downcast. Now Cain
said to his brother Abel, Let’s
go out to the field. While they
were in the field, Cain attacked
his brother Abel and killed him.
Now you are under a curse and
driven from the ground, which
opened its mouth to receive
your brother’s blood from your
hand. Cain said to the LORD,
My punishment is more than I
can bear. So Cain went out from
the LORD’s presence and lived
in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
In this chapter the descriptive
sins are the first murder, it
makes sense that the
Brotherhood rivalry is a fact of
life. The brothers and sisters
are always competing in one
way or another. That is also
happening now the first murder
involves jealousy, social
position, this is the first thing
Adam and Eve affect our
generation until now because
many siblings or even other
people experiencing this kind of
sins, the jealousy and other
things that may end to fight.
The Great Flood [Gen. 6-9]
Genesis 6:9 begins another new
section in Genesis called the
''generations of Noah.'' Because
of humanity's power and
wickedness, the earth had
become filled with violence and
sinfulness. By contrast, Noah
was a righteous, blameless man
who walked with God. God
chooses to declare to Noah His
plan to end all land-dwelling life
on earth, but also to save Noah
and his family and two of every
animal. Noah obeys God's
command to build the ark that
would preserve the human race
from total destruction in the
flood.
The sin that we’ve been
experiencing in this chapter was
the “Judgment” Just before the
story of the flood begins, we learn
that “the Lord saw that the
wickedness of man was great in
the earth, and that every intention
of the thoughts of his heart was
only evil continually and it grieved
God to his heart. So God sent the
floodwaters as a judgment, a block
in the way of humanity’s
wickedness that rose out of the
grief of his heart. In the ark, God
carries Noah’s family through the
flood unharmed to start afresh in a
world returned to innocence. It is a
new beginning and a chance to
have a different end.
The Tower of Babel [Gen. 11:1-
9]
Genesis 11:1-9
At one time, the whole Earth
spoke the same language. Let’s
make ourselves famous so we
won’t be scattered here and
there across the Earth. God
came down to look over the city
and the tower those people had
built. That’s how it came to be
called Babel, because there
God turned their language into
(babble) From there God
scattered them all over the
world.
Now the whole world had one
language and a common
speech. Come, let us go down
and confuse their language so
they will not understand each
other. So the Lord scattered
them from there over all the
earth, and they stopped
building the city.
In this chapter God disrupted the work by so
confusing the language of the workers that
they could no longer understand one another.
They said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city,
and a tower with its top in the heavens, and
let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise
we shall be scattered abroad upon the face of
the whole earth.” The Lord came down to
see the city and the tower, which mortals
had built. And the Lord said, “Look, they are
one people, and they have all one language;
and this is only the beginning of what they
will do; nothing that they propose to do will
now be impossible for them. Come, let us go
down, and confuse their language there, so
that they will not understand one another’s
speech.” So the Lord scattered them abroad
from there over the face of all the earth, and
they left off building the city.
Apparently, God was feeling sad and wanted
to make sure that people couldn’t remain
unified and co-operate.
