The Word of God is the truth, it contains all that the Earth contains. Right from the start of the Bible – Genesis, to the last book – Revelation, the bible has repeatedly mentioned about personal relationship with God, as well as between friends and family. There is always a hierarchy on how things are created. It is biblical. From pottery and clay, to shepherd and sheep, then master and servant, finally husband and wife. These analogy refers to man-to-man relationship, but also the maturity level of being a Christian. How much do you communicate with people and God?

Adam is first created, this signifies that man should have the dominion over things that God has handed to him. The simplest way is to be the salt and light of the Earth, be influential and leaving an impact in your marketplace. Eve is created, not only to multiply, but also for another reason. Just as stated in the Bible, Adam should not be alone, hence, He created Eve. Thousands of Hebrew words are not perfectly being translated into English. The word “alone”, doesn’t mean being segregated, but “separated from”. In other words, Eve was created so that Adam will not be separated from God. At this point, God knew Adam was moving away from Him. God has answers to everything. The question to his whereabouts after eating the apple is rhetorical. Eve’s responsibility is to protect, surround, and support in the spiritual realm, whereas Adam is to do so in the physical realm. This is further evidenced by the fact that God spoke to Eve and not Adam in the Garden of Eden. He knew Adam is moving further away from Him. But the man, still, should have higher spiritual level to lead the wife. The wife’s role is to support, not provide.

People often held a causation mindset about Christian lifestyle. This will in result in human error in judging one’s maturity level with God. Your involvement in Church does not totally reflect your intimacy with God, or how steadfast you hold true to His Word. But, the way you lead your daily lives is the anecdote. This is why many Churches focus on testimony. Certainly, reading the Bible everyday is the only way to know more  about God’s Word. Understanding the story is one, practical application is another. There are many books that illustrated one verse per day throughout the year, but by reading one verse alone, the probability of misinterpreting the verse is high. Hence, reading the chapter or the book even, is ideal.

Conclusion, no conclusion. The End.
