The Garden of Eden

What a wonderful work of God creation is!

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Genesis 1:1¹In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Genesis 1:1).

“GOD SAW EVERYTHING THAT HE HAD MADE, AND BEHOLD, IT WAS VERY GOOD.” Genesis 1:31³¹And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. (Genesis 1:31).

Yes, God made every beast of the field, and fowl, and creeping thing, and brought them to Adam to see what he would name them, and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

Now in the creation of man, there is a great difference. God formed man of the dust of the ground, but he breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul. God said,

“Let Us make man in Our image.” Genesis 1:26²⁶And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (Genesis 1:26), This was not said of the animals.

When the animal dies, that is the end of it.

With us it is quite different. We have a never dying soul. We are responsible beings, and must give an account to God.

This is why, dear children, we persuade all of you to accept God’s way of salvation.

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt he saved.” Acts 16:31³¹And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. (Acts 16:31).

If He is your Saviour, you will spend eternity with Him in glory.
