Reflection On God s The Lord God Planted A Garden Essay

In this essay, I will take the position that God waited to create Eve in order to properly prepare Adam to be a husband/leader. Being the very first being created on earth and having no experience in how to live, God would need to teach Adam the necessary steps for a productive and successful life. Especially since there was a fallen being roaming around, God needed Adam’s full attention to establish a relationship with him, teach him the importance of guarding something precious, and that obeying Him leads to prosperity. My first point as to why God delays His creation of Eve is so that God can first establish a relationship with Adam. In Chapters 2. 7, 2. 8 and 2. 15, you see God creating man after His own image. What’s interesting is that verse 8 says, â€Å"The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed†. When God created man, He specifically placed him in the eastward, area in the garden of Eden. Then in verse 15 it says, â€Å"Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden†. This verse implies that God takes him from the eastward spot and places him in another spot of Eden. The question we could ask ourself is: Why would God make the man, put him on the east side of Eden, but then take him out and place him in another part of Eden? The Bible does not give us a descriptive reason for Adam’s first placement and his movement to another, but what we can know is that God was spending time with Adam.
