Read I Thessalonians 5:23

Next, read Hebrews 4:12

-----> Okay, back to Genesis 26, verse 1.

We are made up of minds, will, and emotions. This is all in our souls. As I showed you in the last slide.

Will - no one can see our will.

We know the three entities are there, but we can't see them.

These three things make up personality.

This is how we are created in the image of God because God has all these attributes.

​

​God the Son has a mind, will, and emotions.

​Right from the beginning, Adam had complete fellowship with his creator. Our body is just a tent that God has put a soul into.

If you took your 5 senses away, what would you be?

A vegetable.

If you can't see, smell, hear, taste, or touch...you're nothing! So, our tens (bodies) have all these 5 senses to have fellowship with the creator.

The soul is eternal.

Adam had a perfect soul, able to have fellowship and communion with his creator. He was a perfect creation! God created mankind as the very crowing act of creation!

Although God created angels first, he could never have fellowship with them, he couldn't extend his love to them so they could return the love. God wants a creature that he can love, and will see the love returned

on a person and God expects love returned.

God extends his love and Grace

But, until then, God is concerned wit not just the salvation of the soul, but the whole body - the body, the soul, and the spirit.

We will have a new body one day.

Read Ephesians 5:23

When reading & studying, analyze every word!

Deciding to return that love all began when God gave us will.

Adam had everything. He was immortal. He would never die. He was incorruptible. There wasn't a single corrupt cell in his body. He would have lived forever! At least...he could have. God gave Adam an opportunity to live forever.

Read Genesis 1:27

Notice: there is a plural pronoun! Meaning more than one person.

Continue, reading verses 18-20.

​

​Read Genesis 5: 1-2

​All these animals came in pairs.

​But, Adam was all alone, so God said, "it is not good that the man should be alone."

So, God does the same for Adam as he did with the creatures.

Remember!

{Right then Adam was perfect~}

Read Romans 5:12

Notice: BY ONE MAN

​ Even though Eve ate the fruit first, the Bible never blames Eve for it, but the New Testament puts all the blame on Adam who brought sin and death into the human race.
