Recap of 4-29-2007 (Genesis 2:18-24)
1. Before the creation of Eve, Adam enjoyed the privileges of a relationship with God and provisions for all his needs, yet he was alone. God determines that without companionship
Adam’s situation is “not good.”
2. God determines to make a “helper suitable” for Adam. The idea is “one corresponding to Adam,” his counterpart, one who share the same nature.
3. In the naming of all the animals, none is found which shares Adam’s nature. None, but Adam is made in the image and likeness of God.4. “Helper” is not a demeaning identification for woman. God Himself is called “help” or “helper” (same Hebrew word used in 2:18) in Psalms 33:20; 70:5; 115:9.
