She Shall Be Called Woman

Q: What does the Bible say about the creation of man and woman?

The Bible states that God created man from dust and woman from man's rib, emphasizing their unique roles and connection (Genesis 2:20-25). According to Genesis 2:20-25, God created man first from the dust of the ground and then formed woman from one of man's ribs, illustrating their close relationship and the man's role as the federal head of humanity. This act is significant, as it highlights that man and woman were created for companionship, with woman fashioned from man to emphasize their equality and mutual dependence. Adam recognized Eve as 'bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh,' affirming their unity and togetherness in the divine order of creation, which reinforces the importance of marriage as a covenantal relationship established by God.

Q: How do we know that Adam and Eve's relationship is important for Christians?

Their relationship illustrates God's design for marriage and the importance of companionship and love within it (Ephesians 5:22-33). The relationship between Adam and Eve is foundational for understanding God's design for marriage and human relationships. In Ephesians 5:22-33, Paul draws a parallel between the relationship of husbands and wives to that of Christ and His church, showcasing marriage as a sacred institution meant for mutual love, respect, and reverence. The creation of Eve from Adam signifies that marriage should be characterized by unity and partnership, emphasizing that in Christ, men and women have equal value in serving one another and fulfilling their God-given roles. This relationship also serves as a model for Christian living, where love and sacrifice play crucial roles.

Q: Why is the act of God creating Eve from Adam's rib significant?

It symbolizes the equality and unity between man and woman, portraying marriage as a partnership (Genesis 2:21-22). The act of creating Eve from Adam's rib holds profound theological significance, as it signifies that she was made to be a companion, not a subordinate. By taking a rib from Adam's side, God demonstrated that woman is to stand beside man in equality and support. The symbolism extends to the concept of protection and affection, as just as the rib protects the heart, a husband is called to love and cherish his wife. This divine act of creation emphasizes the intimate bond and shared purpose in their relationship, reinforcing the idea that in marriage, each partner is vital to the other's life and well-being.

Q: How does the concept of being 'one flesh' apply to Christian marriage?

Being 'one flesh' signifies deep unity and commitment in marriage, reflecting the covenantal nature of the relationship (Genesis 2:24). The concept of being 'one flesh' discussed in Genesis 2:24 underscores the profound unity that marriage entails. This idea is a reflection of covenants made before God, indicating that the union is not just physical but encompasses emotional and spiritual dimensions as well. In Christian theology, this unity depicts a divine purpose where both husband and wife are seen as co-heirs of grace, supporting and thriving in their relationship with each other and God. The commitment to this 'one flesh' union is foundational for a vibrant, godly marriage, providing a context for mutual respect, love, and shared responsibilities within the relationship.

Verse 26, that gives the appearance
here that God created the man and the woman at the same time.
It was not that way at all. Chapter 1 of Genesis is a summary
of the whole creation. A summary of the whole creation.
In verse 26, chapter 1 says, God said, let us make man. Let
us make man in our image after our likeness. Verse 27 says,
So God created man in his own image. In the image of God created
he him, male and female created he them. Then in chapter 2, the Lord shows us the order in
which the man and the woman were made. They were not made at the
same time. God created a man, one man. He created Adam out of the dust
of the earth. The woman was not made from the
dust of the earth. She was made from the man. And
it says here in Genesis 2, verse 7, Genesis 2, 7, And the Lord
God formed man, a man, Adam, The word atom means man out of
the red earth. He formed man of the dust of
the ground. Dust thou art, to dust thou shalt
return. That's what scripture says. Made
of the dust of the ground. He made, formed him, made him.
And he breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man
became a living soul. One man. Now the garden, the
earth was finished. All of the things he needed to
eat, the sun, the moon, the stars, the seasons, all these things
were complete. He made that man and put him
in the garden. And he commanded that man. See,
that man was the head of the whole human race. God never made
another man, never created another man. Everything came from Adam. There's Adam. The federal head,
we call him, the representative, the representative of all men,
everybody's, every human being of every nation, blood, tribe,
kindred, nation under heaven, traces their roots back to that
one man. God made that man. And he commanded
that man. He gave him some commandments.
He says here in verse 16, Verse 15, Genesis 2, 15, And the Lord
God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to dress
it and to keep it. Can't you imagine the beauty
of that place? It didn't rain, it didn't storm, it didn't snow,
it didn't sleet, it didn't hail. It says that the earth was watered. It went up, verse 6 of chapter
2 said it went up a mist from the earth and watered the whole
face of the ground. It was a perfect place, perfect
garden. There wasn't any killing and eating meat. See, the herbs
were for meat. The things that grew, the trees,
everything was perfect. And God put that man in that
perfect garden to dress it and to keep it. You see that? Verse
15. And verse 16, And the Lord God
commanded the man. Here's the law. Here's the covenant
of works. And he said to that man, Now
every tree of the garden you may freely eat. Eating thou shalt
eat, but the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it. For
in the day thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die. Man is
here in this perfect place, and man has dominion. He has dominion
over the fowl of the air, the fish of the sea. In fact, when
God brought the animals to Adam, he named each one of them, and
that's what they're called today. Adam was a brilliant genius.
a king, a prince, a ruler over all of God's creation. But he
had one who ruled over him, and that's the Lord God. And his
reverence and worship is to God, and God gave a token. I don't
know what the tree was. I don't know where the apple
came in. But there was a tree, and I don't
know exactly how to describe it. He said, Of all the trees
of the garden ye may freely eat, of the tree of the knowledge
of good and evil thou shalt not eat, for in the day thou eatest
thereof thou shalt die. All right, here is the man, this
man in God's image, this holy and upright man. And there he
is in the garden, perfect, everything is perfect. But then verse 18,
And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should
be alone, It's not good to be alone. No one to love. No one to love him. You see,
Adam was created in the image of God, and he had love and affection. God is love. And love and affection
has got to have an object, got to have someone to love. And
love demands to be loved, true love. It can't be a one-way street,
you know. Love wants to love and to be
loved. And then there's no one to talk to. There's no one to
converse with. You can talk to a tree. You can
talk to a dog. You can talk to an animal. No one to share the beauties
of the garden. Have you ever been somewhere
and seen a beautiful waterfall or something and you say, I wish
there was someone here to enjoy that with me? Or you're walking
across a field, one of you men out hunting or fishing, and you
come on a beautiful flyer when you say, I wish my wife was here
to see that, or somebody here to see this and enjoy it with
me. Adam had a, think of the wonders of that garden, no one
to share it with. No one to enjoy it with him.
He's by himself. No one to say, isn't that beautiful?
Touch that. And there was no one to touch.
There was no one to embrace, no companion, no togetherness. That's essential for love. There's
got to be togetherness. There's got to be companionship.
I was talking to a friend of mine on the telephone this morning
who's going through a terrible, terrible, terrible experience.
Just a great, awful, terrible experience as a believer can
go through. And I just called him and I said,
I just want you to know I was thinking about you and I love
you. And I said, it helps to have a buddy. He said, it helps
to have a lot of buddies right now. And he said, I'm finding
a lot of strength in my fellowship. Adam didn't have a buddy. No one to help who needed him. No one to need him. No one to
help. No one with whom to share his blessing. Love enjoys giving. Our Lord said it's more blessed
to give than to receive. He had received all these things
from the Father. There's nothing he could give
God. But he had something to give
someone else, if there was a someone else. But there wasn't a someone
else. He was alone. Can you imagine being alone? There was no one to give to,
no one to comfort, no one to admire. or of whom to be admired,
there was no one to produce others like him. Sons and daughters. He saw the animals had little
ones. God told them, you know, multiply and replenish the earth,
and he saw the animals had little ones, and the little bear cubs
and the little tiger cubs, and I wish I had a little boy like
me. You know, see what I'm saying? And that's what God said is,
it's not good for a man to be alone. Not good for a man to
live alone. Well, verse 19, the ground the
Lord God formed every beast of the field and every fowl of the
air and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them.
And whatever Adam called every living creature, that was the
name. And Adam gave names to the cattle and the fowl of the
air and to every beast of the field. But for Adam, there wasn't
a helpmate. There wasn't a companion. There
wasn't anyone. All right. So the Lord God caused
a deep sleep to fall upon Adam. Now this wasn't a normal rest.
This wasn't a normal sleep. But God put Adam under a deep,
deep coma. And only God could do this. See, Adam's created in the image
of God. Adam's without sin. Adam's without
fault or flaw. And Adam can't go into any kind
of any kind of distraction or coma or anything like that, because
Adam is like God. But God could put him under,
and God deliberately put him under a deep sleep. And while Adam slept, listen,
and as he slept, God took one of his ribs, God performed a
divine operation, and God cut into Adam's side here, and He
took out that rib, Took out that rib, one of his ribs. Don't get
into this thing about how many ribs a man has. I read a commentary
yesterday that said Adam had 13 on that side and 12 on the
other. Now he's got 12 on each side.
You know, that'll be alright with me. You know, if he does,
he does. Don't lose the beauty of it.
Here he lies in a deep coma and God cut into his side and took
out a rib and closed up the flesh. He bears no scar. Now, second,
Adam's got scars. Not just Adam. He bears no scar.
He bears no scar. He didn't have anything to do
with this. God did it all. And he bears no scar. And he
said he closed up the flesh, and the real, verse 22, which
the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman and brought her to the man. Now,
God didn't create you women. like he did the man. God created
the man from the dust of the earth, breathed into his nostrils
the breath of life, he became a living soul, he became a federal
head, he became a representative of a whole race. But the woman,
he took from the man. I don't know how long Adam was
alone in that garden, but I do know the woman was taken from
the man. Now this is not the start of
a new order. She's a female. She's different
from the man, but this is not a new order, a new race. It's
a continuation of the race God had already created. The man. She's the woman. She's Isha out
of Ish. She's the woman out of the man.
He took her from the man. She's the woman taken out of
the man. And he didn't take her from a man's head. He didn't
operate on Adam's head and take the woman from a part of his
head to rule over him. And you notice he didn't operate
on Adam's feet and take her from one of his toes to be trampled
under by him. But he took the woman from the
man's side to walk with him, to be equal with him. That's
right. See, the Lord Jesus Christ sits
at the right hand of the Heavenly Father at his side. He thought
it not robbery to be equal with God. And yet, the Father is the
head of the Son. He's the head of Christ, and
yet equal. And the woman was taken from
the man's side, not lain over him, not be trampled under him,
but his side to be equal with. And he took the woman from under
the man's arm to be protected by him. That's right. Under his
arm. His arm protects her. We're supposed
to protect our wives and wash over them and care for them.
And he took her from a rib close to his heart to be loved by him. Isn't that right? That close
to his heart. Somebody else was cut in the
side and out came blood and water for somebody he loved. But we'll
get to that in a minute. And then it says, verse 22, look
at that again. And the rib which the Lord God
had taken from man made he a woman, and he brought her to the man. God's gift. God's gift. You know, Doris was
teaching the class back here several years ago. And I'll tell
you how long it was ago, how long ago it was, Amy and Abby
Simpson. You notice in the bulletin this
morning, Amy has a little girl. Well, I think Amy is the one
that said this. Amy or Abby Warren, but by God,
they were just little kids, seven or eight years old. And Doris
was teaching them about the Lord Jesus Christ, God's unspeakable
gift to the world. God's unspeakable gift, the Lord
Jesus Christ. He gave His Son. She loved the
way He gave His Son. When she got through, she looked
around and she said, now what's God's greatest gift to man? And
one of these young ladies, little girl, when she was a little girl,
she raised her hand and D'Arcy said, uh, Abby, what's God's
greatest gift to man? She said, woman. Well, that's close, isn't it?
That's the second greatest gift. Second greatest gift. He brought
her to them. That's a gift of God. Would you
abuse the gift of God? Would you not receive with thanksgiving
the gift of God? He bought her. My Adam must have
been dazzled by her, mustn't he? He'd never seen anything
like that. But he brought her to the man. Brought her to the
man. Hold that right there. Let me
take you over to 2 Corinthians, or 1 Corinthians 11. 1 Corinthians
11. Let me take you over here and
read something. 1 Corinthians 11, verse 7 and
8. 1 Corinthians 11, 7, For a man
indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the
image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of
the man. What's this now? For the man is not of the woman,
but the woman is of the man. Neither was the man created for
the woman, but the woman is God's gift. He created for the man.
Now, let's don't rebel against the Word of God. I'm just telling
you what it says. Isn't it clear so far? I haven't
added anything, have I, or taken anything away? Just told you
the truth. And now back to Genesis 2. Now
verse 23, and Adam said, Adam said, This is now bone of my
bones, and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called woman, because
she was taken out of man. Therefore shall a man leave his
father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they
shall be one flesh. Adam says, she's part of me.
She's bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh. We're one. That's
the reason Paul could command a man to love his wife as he
loves himself. Because no man yet ever hated
himself. They're one flesh, one body, one bone, one blood. That's what he said. Therefore
she's loved and she's cherished as a man loves himself and provided
for as a man provides for himself. And when he said a man leaves
his father and mother, that doesn't mean he deserts them. That doesn't
mean he doesn't care for them anymore, that doesn't mean he
doesn't provide for them anymore, that doesn't mean that he doesn't,
isn't interested in their well-being. Here's what he's saying, Adam
is now the head of his own family. See, when he lived in the home
there with his mother and father, his father ruled over him. His
father, he was a child in the home, but now he's taken a wife
and he has his own family. He's a head of his own family.
He provides for his own family. He's not to look to his mother
and father. He provides for his own. He's a responsible person.
And this woman is his wife, and his maid, and the mother of his
children, and those are separate. You see that? And when there's
conflict, he takes the side of his wife. And the woman can rest
in his care. He provides for her. Let me turn,
don't you turn, let me just read you a passage over here. I can
turn more quickly to 1 Peter 3, verse 7. Listen. Likewise,
you husbands, dwell with your wives according to knowledge,
giving honor to the wife as the weaker vessel. Now, ladies, you
don't have to get a job on the highway and stand out there and
run a backhoe to prove you're equal to the man. You're not.
You're a weaker vessel. Take that place and enjoy it. One lady told me, she said, I
don't want to be liberated. I enjoy being pampered. And God made you to enjoy being
pampered. You're a weaker vessel. I'm not
saying you're weaker mentally or anything like that. That's
not what I'm saying. I'm not a male chauvinist pig. I'm a
pig. I'm a male. But I'm just saying the man looks
upon his Like a man opened the door for a lady one day, and
she said, you don't have to open that door for me because I'm
a lady. He said, I didn't. I opened it because I'm a gentleman. Give honor to the wife as the
weaker vessel, and as being heirs together with you of the grace
of God and the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered. that's unreasonable and unkind
to his wife, waste his time praying because God doesn't hear him.
That's what they say. He's wasting his time. He might
as well call on the wind. All right, let's go back to our
text. Genesis chapter 2, verse 25. And they were both naked,
the man and his wife, and they were not ashamed. They were as
they were created. God made the man. And he made
the woman out of the man. They needed no clothes to protect
them. See, sin hadn't come into this world. They needed no protection.
They needed no clothes to conceal any part of their body which
God had made. God made everything, and he made
it good. He made it beautiful. And there
was no need to cover up that which God had made. And they
were not ashamed because they were of the same nature. They
were the same male and female, flesh and bones and blood and
bone of bone and flesh of flesh, and there was nothing in them
to cause them to be ashamed. There was nothing in them to
cause them to be guilty, no sin in their nature, no guilt in
their conscience, no wickedness in their thoughts or actions.
So they were not ashamed. But it didn't last long, did
it? I don't know how long it lasted, but chapter 3 is an awful
chapter. And we'll take up at verse 7.
And the eyes of them both were open, both the head of the race
and his woman who was taken from him. She sinned and she gave
to her husband. He sinned. And then they knew
they were naked. Uh-oh. Sin, guilt, shame, fear,
hatred, all these things. That's where it happened. By
one man, sin entered the world. By Adam, not by Eve, by Adam.
She was deceived, but he wasn't. He did this willingly. He acted
willingly, knew what he was doing. Didn't he, John? And the whole
race fell in him. By one man, sin entered the world,
and death by sin, so death passed upon all men. And death by sin. And by one man's disobedience,
we all became sinners. And so they sewed fig leaves
together and made them aprons. They heard the voice of the Lord
God calling in the cool of the day. Adam and his wife hid themselves
in the presence of God among the trees of the garden. And
the Lord God said, Adam, where are you? He said, I heard your
voice, and I was afraid because I was naked, and I hid myself.
He said, who told you you were naked? Have you eaten of the
tree where I commanded you you should not eat? God knew that. He wanted to hear that Adam's
mouth. The man said, the woman you gave me. Boy, he was making
love while ago, and now he puts the blame. This is now bone of
my bone flesh. It's her fault. It's really your
fault because you gave her to me. That's what he's saying.
Isn't that terrible how he's changed? Sin will do that. She
gave me a tree and I ate it. And God said to the woman, what's
this thot's done? And the woman said, well certainly
it's the guy or me. It's his fault. And I did eat.
And the Lord God said to the serpent, Because thou hast done
this, thou art cursed above all cattle, above every beast of
the field. Upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou
eat all the days of thy life. And I'll put enmity, oh I love
this verse, between thee and the woman, between thy seed and
her seed. It'll bruise your head, and I
shall bruise his heel. Unto the woman I'll greatly multiply
your sorrow and your conception. In sorrow you'll bring forth
children. And your desire shall be to your husband, and he shall
rule over you. And then he said, Adam, because
you have hearkened to the voice of your wife, and you have eaten
of the tree of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not
eat of it, cursed is the ground for your sake, and sour you shall
eat of it all the days of your life, and thorns and also and
thistle shall it bring forth to thee, and thou shalt eat the
herb of the field, In the sweat of your face you'll earn bread,
you'll eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it
you were taken, and dust you are, and to dust you shall return."
That's a dark picture, isn't it? Well, I'll tell you this. There's another Adam. That one and his mate made a
mess out of things. But there's another Adam. Yes,
sir. And I tell you, if we can read
what we've read and enter into what God's shown us, then we
can go to this next step. And I'm going to take you into
something beautiful. Turn to 1 Corinthians chapter
15. 1 Corinthians 15. Thank God the story doesn't end
there. There's another Adam. There's
another Adam. And there's going to be another
divine operation. God is going to take out of him a bride. In 1 Corinthians 15, it says,
verse 21, 1 Corinthians 15, 21, "...since by man came death,
by man, by a man will come the resurrection. For as in Adam
all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive." But this
Christ is called an Adam too. Did you know that? Look at verse
47. Verse 45 of that same chapter,
1 Corinthians 15, 45. As it is written, the first man,
Adam, was made a living soul, and the last, Adam, was made
a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first, it
was spiritual. The second Adam wasn't first,
but that which is natural, and after that, the spiritual. In
other words, the Adam that came from the dust to the ground was
first, and the Adam that came from heaven was second. The first
man is of the earth, earthy. The second man is the Lord from
heaven. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, by God's
grace, we're going to bear the image of the heavenly. But something's
got to happen. Something's got to take place. All right, that
second Adam is not going to be alone in his kingdom. There's
a second Adam, man, the God-man. This is a covenant God made before
the world began. This was a covenant God made
before that first fiasco there of Adam and Eve. This is a covenant
God made way back there, the man, Christ Jesus. He's not going
to be alone. God has decreed and determined
that he shall have a people to love and by whom to be loved
and to communicate with and to fellowship with. and to enjoy
the things that God will give him in that new heaven and new
earth, that new garden. Someone to be comforted, someone
to admire and to be admired, someone like himself. God had
determined that he'll have a people and predestinated them to be
like Christ, to fellowship with him, to reign with him. But now
something's got to happen. So the Lord God made him a body.
Made him a body. He said, a body thou hast prepared
me and sent that man down into this world. Woman was made from
a man. And the man came from a woman. Isn't that something? How marvelous
are the ways of our God. He was made under the law, made
of a woman to redeem them born under the law. He took flesh
and bone. You know, Adam said this is bone
of my bone, flesh of my flesh. Christ took bone. and bone, flesh,
and flesh, and became a man. All right, here's the God-man,
the second Adam. And God caused a deep sleep to
come upon him. Only God could do it. That sleep
was death. The Lord Jesus Christ went to
the cross. He said, no man takes my life
from me, I lay it down. I had the power to lay it down
and take it up. My father gave me this commandment. And so it
pleased the Lord to bruise him. And on that cross, he opened
his side, put nails in his hands and in his feet, and opened his
side. And from that side came blood
to cleanse and water to sanctify. And he made him a woman, a bride. That's right. Turn to Ephesians
5. Let me show you this. You say,
Preacher, can you do this? Paul did. Ephesians chapter 5. Now listen. Ephesians 5.22. Only God could put that first
Adam under where he went and took that woman out of his side.
Only God can take the Christ and put him on a cross. He used
wicked hands of wicked men. But Ephesians 5.22 said, Wives,
submit yourselves to your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For
the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head
of the church. He is the Savior of the body.
Therefore, as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be
to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives as
Christ loved the church and gave himself for it, that he might
sanctify it and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word. What did he do? He gave himself
his blood to justify and the water to sanctify, that he may
present it to himself. When Adam took that woman out
of the side of Adam, when God took that woman out of the side
of Adam, and he came to, and God brought her to him. Look
at verse 27, that he might present it to himself, a glorious church. not having spot or wrinkle or
any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish.
So men ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He that
loveth his wife loveth himself. No man ever hateth his own flesh.
He nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord of the church.
For we are members of his body, his flesh, his bone." What did
Adam say when God brought Eve to her? Bone of my bone, flesh
of my flesh. which he purchased with his own
blood. And when he's on that cross, I verily believe there's
a relationship here. That soldier took that spear
and pierced his side, and out came blood and water. And that
blood, what's it for? It's not for show. It's to cleanse
and purify his church. And that water, does it represent
his word that sanctifies his church? It came out of him. Out
of him. And you know something, read
on. For this cause shall a man leave
his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they
too shall be one flesh. And you know, Adam and Eve stood
there, and they were not ashamed. They were not ashamed, because
they had no sin in their nature, no guilt in their conscience.
Inward holiness made an outward covering unnecessary. Turn with
me to 1 John 2.28. Let's see about the church. Do
we have any reason to be ashamed? The Bible says over and over
again, he that believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Whosoever
believeth on him shall not be put to shame. Whosoever believeth
on him shall not be confounded, or no shame. 1 John 2.28. And now, little children, abide
in him. that when he shall appear, we
may have confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming. If you know that he's righteous,
you know that everyone that doeth righteousness is born of him.
So let me tell you something. We have the righteousness of
Christ. And therefore, in his presence,
we're not ashamed. There was Adam, the head of the
race. There was Eve, his bride, his wife. And they were not ashamed.
No guilt, no sin, no wretchedness, no corruption, no wickedness.
And they were not ashamed, though they had no outward covering.
So the righteousness of Christ, now listen to me, is not an outward
covering and garment to cover evil. No. The righteousness of Christ
is an inward holiness. that makes an outward covering
unnecessary. That's right, an inward holiness. You see, those who are here are
not ashamed because we are holy and unblameable. We have this
flesh and this flesh has to be covered. It has to be covered
because of its corruption. It has to be covered because
of the flesh that we are and the fleshly thoughts that we
have and the fleshly things that we do. But one day, this old
nature, this old man, this old man that came from Adam is going
to be put in the dust from which he came, like Adam. And that
new holy nature which he gave and which he gives, that righteousness
and holiness of God is not going to need any covering. That's
right, not going to need any covering. I'll be satisfied when
I awake with His likeness." So the righteousness of Christ,
the holiness of Christ, I know we often describe it as His robe
of righteousness, which is fine, which is fine. But it's more
than that. It's not a pasted on appearance.
No, sir. That new man is holy. That new
man is perfect. That new man ain't going to be.
He is perfect. He is holy. And when this covering
of flesh dies, and you put it in the ground, the new man goes
to be with Christ. And he's perfect. And let me
tell you this, in Christ there's neither male nor female. In the
kingdom of God there's neither male nor female. I have a place to fill, a responsibility
to perform. I have a walk to walk. I have
a word to believe. I have a Christ to trust. I have
a day to fulfill. I have a death to die. But I've
got a hope in which to rest. And we're all one in Christ.
So let's believe the Word, receive the Word, and walk in the Word,
and rejoice in the Word, and let God be God. Because that's
our only hope. Our hope's right here, in what
I've read this morning. That that second Adam, from his
side, you know that was a beautiful picture, as Adam lay there and
God brought this lovely creature to him, she shall be called woman,
she's taken out a man. Well, his bride was taken out
of him too. But nothing gonna happen to that
relationship, thank God, it'll be forever. Thank God. And that's a divine operation.
That's not something I can do for you, or you can do for me,
or we can raise hands and decide what we're going to do this morning.
It's something God does. And He does it in here. I love
the Word of God, don't you? I rejoice in the revelation of
His precious Word. And this is the only way it can
be. It's a miracle. The new creation, He calls it.
New creation. Behold, I make all things new.
