In Genesis chapter 2 verses 4 to 25 Here are the word of the
00:05
Lord These are the generations of the heavens and the earth When they were created in the day that the
00:13
Lord God made the earth and the heavens When no bush of the field was yet in the land and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up for the
00:22
Lord God had not caused it to rain on the land and there was no man to work the ground and a mist was going up from The land it was watering the whole face of the ground then the
00:32
Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and The man became a living being and the
00:41
Lord God Planted a garden in Eden in the east and there he put the man whom he had formed and out of the ground the
00:49
Lord God made to spring up from every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food
00:55
The tree of life was in the midst of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil a River flowed out of Eden to water the garden and there it divided and became four rivers
01:06
The name of the first is the Pishon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Havilah Where there is gold and the gold of that land is good
01:15
The delium and onyx stone are there the name of the second river is the
01:20
Gihon It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Cush and the name of the third river is the
01:26
Tigris Which flows out of Assyria and the fourth river is the Euphrates the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it and The Lord God commanded the man saying you shall surely eat of every tree of the garden
01:41
But at the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat for in the day that you eat of it
01:46
You shall surely die Then the Lord God said it is not good that the man should be alone.
01:53
I will make him a helper fit for him now out of the ground the Lord God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and Brought them to the man to see what he would call them and whatever the man
02:05
Called every living creature that was its name The man gave names to all the livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field
02:14
But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him so the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up the place with flesh and the rib that the
02:26
Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and Brought her to the man. Then the man said this at last is bone of my bones and Flesh to my flesh.
02:39
She shall be called woman because she was taken out of man Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife and they shall become one flesh and The man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed
02:55
If the Lord had his blessings to the reading of his Holy Word Well, it's important to know what things are for Take dihydrogen monoxide, for example, and you know what it is.
03:06
You know what it's for It's responsible it's a chemical that's responsible for the death of nearly 4 ,000 people a year in the u .s
03:13
It's fourth leading cause of death overall and the second leading cause of death for children and for every one child killed by dihydrogen monoxide
03:21
Eight receive emergency medical treatment for it. I saw a notice just yesterday here in casual County Someone received emergency treatment for it prolonged exposure to solid dihydrogen monoxide causes severe tissue damage
03:33
Gaseous dihydrogen monoxide causes severe burns It's a major component of acid rain causes metals to rust and corrode and electrical systems to fail
03:43
It's often mixed with illicit drugs and intoxicating drinks So it sounds really
03:50
Horrible, isn't it? Of course you may ask with all these destructive effects Why haven't you heard more about dihydrogen monoxide?
03:58
Maybe the dihydrogen monoxide industry big dihydrogen monoxide is too rich and powerful
04:03
Just one part of the industry the bottling part makes 20 billion dollars a year Professional athletes commonly use it as a performance enhancer the
04:12
US Navy for example absolutely depends on it But thanks to a young man from Idaho Finally people are calling for a ban on dihydrogen monoxide a young man named
04:22
Nathan Zoner found that when he explained the consequences of unrestricted access
04:28
To dihydrogen monoxide that 86 % of people were willing to sign a petition to ban it
04:34
Finally, there is now a website dhmo .org that publicizes the effects of dihydrogen monoxide and enables you to join an organization called the coalition to ban dihydrogen monoxide
04:48
Do you want to ban it? Now first you may want to know what it is And what it was made for the common name for it
04:56
Is water Dihydrogen means two parts water Monoxide means one part oxygen and that's what water is
05:04
It's h2o the combination of atoms makes for molecules that are extremely useful for life It's in the nature of water
05:12
To nourish physical life if you use it in the right way Anyway, things have elementary natures that determine what they are and what roles they play
05:24
What about you What are you for? The idea has grown up that people can create themselves
05:31
Just simply by identifying as what they want to be that your psyche not your nature determines what you're made for We're told that our true nature is whatever we feel it is that traditional roles for men and women are just purely arbitrary
05:45
There's just something we made up and so we can remake them They are assigned to us by society and now we can break free and we can assign ourselves
05:53
Whatever role we want to be is if we had no nature, you know We're water has nature, but we don't so you are not they think bound by any inherent nature of who you are
06:05
What you're made for what are you made for? your psyche Not your creation determines.
06:12
Well Genesis 2 says something very different It tells us what we're made for here
06:18
We see God making human nature creating marriage and sexuality and even ordaining some of the roles of male and female and that these things are built into us like the
06:27
Nature of water is dihydrogen monoxide is built into it Here in Genesis 2 we see three things that we were made for first worship second work and with some exceptions wedlock
06:41
What are you made for? Genesis chapter 2 describes it beautifully Genesis 2 takes us this takes a step back from chapter 1 and Focuses on the creation of of us and first like before it sets the scene starting at verse 4
06:58
These are the generations that basically the history the story the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created
07:06
There's that word again Barra remember from last week Created what only
07:11
God can do God not only created out of nothing He also made there in the it says in the day
07:18
That's referring to all the time that transpired in chapter 1 in that day He made the earth and the heavens now here we skip all the creation of everything else that we heard about in chapter 1 and we focus in on humanity, what is
07:32
Humanity for we're given a clue already in chapter 5 the earth was unfit because there was no man to work the ground far from being a parasite on earth
07:44
Destroying the environment as many people today think the earth was made for humans to work on then in verse 7
07:52
God took some dirt or could be dust and adds water to it make clay like a potter shaping something
08:00
He's created He breathed into this clay and the breath that's or the spirit same word
08:08
Made the clay come alive First Corinthians chapter 15 verse 45 says the first man
08:14
Adam became a living being the first man and Adams name simply means man
08:22
Lives as God inspired life into him the Hebrew word for breath as in he breathed and the breath of life
08:28
Is the same word for spirit so he became a living being he breathed a spirit into us
08:35
So we're not just dirt and water We're not just physical But also spiritual we are dirt and water and spirit flesh and soul
08:47
Heaven and earth we are made for the Lord to worship people think they can be happy living just on bread or rice or Internet alone and they'll spend their lives working and making money or playing and think church is a waste of time
09:02
They don't know their nature what they're made for some of them are even mildly religious And so they might even go to church that you they live as if God is an added extra to garnish their lives though Not as though he's what they're made for They live and they treat
09:17
God as if he were on the level of purebred Beautiful poodle a nice pet
09:25
Disposable it's a luxury you have After you reach a certain after you've taken care of all the physical and other kind of needs now
09:31
You can have this this luxury said they may attend religious services. They don't have anything better to do today
09:38
We have so -called Christians putting their kids in traveling teams missing worship about half a year and so teaching by example that sports trumps worship or Some of them not bringing them for to worship at all
09:50
They'll just let their kids just completely skip church. They wouldn't think of letting them skip school Because that they think that's essential education you have to have but they'll let them skip worship and they teaching by example
10:01
That worship that God is an optional extra not something we're made
10:07
To have in our life some that not something were made for But we see here that our spiritual need is more than just a luxury
10:18
More than just a pet more than just an added extra in our life after we've taken care of all our physical needs we are
10:26
Spiritual that's who we are By nature as some have said we have a
10:31
God -shaped vacuum inside is the great early church theologian Augustine wrote to God our hearts are restless until they find their rest in you we are made for the
10:43
Lord Now immediately in Genesis 2 we see what a great God it is whom we are made for whom we worship
10:51
Once he has created man Notice what he does For him in verse 8.
10:57
He places him in a garden now. The garden is planted in Eden so Eden is the wider area and it kind of describes where Eden is and that doesn't seem to make much sense to us
11:09
But to them and it's it's a nice place. It's a luxurious place The word Eden just means pleasant place.
11:16
The land of Eden is a pleasant place of rivers and verses 10 to 14 There's gold there, especially good gold.
11:22
That's how the gold was good Well, yeah, you normally expect gold to be good But this is especially good gold had bdellium and our aromatic resin.
11:30
It was an incense So it it smelled good. So the garden smelled nice and Onyx kind of quartz glitters to the garden
11:40
Sparkled when there's rocks when it's not all the plants just sparkling rocks It is a lush rich area
11:47
In other words Eden this abundant land in it the Lord decides to make part of it an even nicer place
11:56
Cultivated to be a garden for us in his generosity. God plants a garden within a pleasant place
12:02
On a perfect earth not so there would be a bad place on earth Finds the pleasant place in a perfect earth and plants a garden there for man to live in that's paradise
12:14
God made us for himself and made paradise For us and then
12:19
God plants a special tree in this garden verse 9 the tree of life That was planted so that there would be no need to suffer death if we could eat the fruit of that tree
12:30
We wouldn't die Know what you're made for You were not made
12:36
For death You were made for the Lord to worship so God Gave us the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in verse 9
12:45
We wonder what's what's up with this? Is it as though God is sinister as is he looking for a way to trip humanity up so we can have an excuse to Evict them from the garden
12:54
No The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was made as a reminder of our limits under God that our greatest happiness comes
13:00
From obeying God Martin Luther wrote that here with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is the beginning of the church
13:08
Even before the family even before the stake it is it's the church because here is
13:13
God's way of Worshiping him worshiping God of hearing his commands you hear his command here going into that tree
13:20
And so you have an opportunity to obey him. That's what the church is. It's where you hear
13:26
God's Word and you Submit to it we worship by believing and doing by trusting and Obeying and so God was blessing
13:36
Adam and Eve by giving them a way to show their submission to his word Do they believe that promise or threat in verse 17?
13:45
They can eat of any tree except that one and in the day they eat of that one. They will surely die Do they believe that?
13:52
Do they trust God's Word if they truly trust that this Lord who placed them in a garden? In a pleasant place on a perfect earth if they truly trust that he is good for them
14:02
They trust him then they will not think they won't suspect That God is keeping something good from them that one tree.
14:10
We're not supposed to have that must be the good one He's keeping it from us. They won't suspect him of that. They'll trust that he's good if you trust
14:18
God and He says Don't eat that You won't eat it
14:26
All they need Is faith? We were made to worship the
14:32
Lord and we were made not just for the weekend But to work
14:38
Tomorrow's Labor Day. We celebrate work by not working some kind of strange But whatever God gives
14:43
Adam employment in verse 15 The Lord puts the man in the garden to work now. We all think of work now is a mixed blessing
14:51
We occasionally get tired of it there are always things about it that are unpleasant But hopefully we also find some kind of satisfaction about doing our work.
15:01
We should take some pleasure in our work Because we were made to work.
15:07
It's not just a curse Here God gives Adam Work here.
15:14
We have work before sin and before the curse It was given to us by God before sin Originally without any of the drawbacks any of the things that we don't like about it your gardener
15:24
The major annoyances to work are thorns and weeds If you run a restaurant, it's cleaning
15:32
I guess unreasonable customers If you're a teacher You probably think of some of your students as thorns and if you're a student you probably think of them if your teachers are thorns but thorns came later with sin originally work was meant to be all reward and Satisfaction and so today the able -bodied person who does not work who is satisfied
15:54
There's a leg on the couch all day watching talk shows is Failing his very nature laziness is a sin because God intended for us to work know
16:03
What you're made for? This is the perfect creation God in his great goodness designed it for us
16:09
He thought of everything here even the wild animals we are shown in verses 19 to 20, they're not a threat to Adam He's not living in fear of them that he falls asleep.
16:17
The lion's gonna eat him No, we were in paradise to worship and to work Everything was perfect Well, almost everything
16:27
Adam soon becomes aware of his need his natural need For a companion in chapter 1 7 times
16:33
God says about his creation You know, it is good than the last the seventh time. It's very good here in chapter 2 verse 18.
16:40
God says it is not good That man should be alone. Here's something that's not good
16:46
The animals don't quite cut it Adam is given the right to name every animal, you know, it's not emphasizes that Everything he names it
16:54
God delegates that to him which is showing us in action What we're told in words in chapter 1 that we have dominion rule over the animals the right to name
17:04
Someone something shows authority over them, but they are not these animals are not sufficient companions for people
17:11
Sorry cat people cats not gonna do it. This is I catch God by surprise that need was built in to man
17:19
This is the way God made us Know what you're made for Most of us are not made to live by ourselves separate apart we were made for wedlock
17:33
Man's need for a wife and marriage itself is not somehow a result of sin again.
17:38
This was all before sin It's not a deficiency. It's not a lack of God's design of God's perfection
17:44
It's a natural nearly universal need it isn't just a product of society
17:50
Telling us how to live what they all their social construct something society has constructed is made
17:56
It is the way most of us who created to live It's a God construct Society can arbitrarily decide that any other lifestyle is as good as a man and a woman in marriage
18:06
It cannot redefine marriage because society didn't create marriage in the first place God did marriage is part of nature and we need to nurture it.
18:16
It's important to know what things are for You know, we can call water Dihydrogen monoxide and scare people into banning it and they die of thirst
18:25
We can tell people that they are of the sex they feel they are and do irreparable damage to the people who believe that lie and We can change the definition of marriage and just destroy society
18:37
But water will still be water and man is man and woman is woman and marriage will be what God made it to be
18:43
Know what things are for when Adam first sees his wife verse 23 Here's the first recorded words of any man
18:53
Verse 23 he exclaims at last finally This is the companion after all those animals
19:00
After finding out that dogs really aren't man's best friend care what they say finally
19:07
Eureka and a little poem in Hebrew in verse 23 in it the first recorded words of any man
19:13
It begins with the feminine this Talk about her Has in the middle of it the same feminine this and ends with the same feminine this
19:25
Adam is saying this woman this one this one last
19:32
First to last this is the one and so man's first recorded words are in praise
19:38
Thanking God for woman And the Lord Jesus said that this passage shows us that in marriage that is
19:45
God God Not society. It's not luck. It's not matchmakers. It's not a harmony or not family or friends
19:53
It's God who brings together a man and a woman and so it is not something that mere human beings can dissolve
20:01
So it's not as though we create it. We can change it. We can dissolve it and Matthew chapter 19 verse 6
20:06
Jesus says what therefore God Has joined together sorry about the married couple
20:12
God has joined them together. Let not man separate We were generally most people made for wedlock not for going from one lover to another you don't separate go to the next one
20:24
No, we might look at our marriages or other people's marriages and think well how they came together. It all seems so Mundane so explainable
20:33
We met maybe we hit it off right away Maybe we didn't hit it off right away, but eventually one thing led to another and we finally got married so I can all look very human
20:44
Maybe romantic maybe not But whether it's romantic or not, it's not the important thing for in marriage God has brought together two people a man and a woman for me.
20:51
I was working in a seminary in a security job Walking students always women to their apartments or their cars, you know, so they didn't get attacked or anything
21:01
We were called escorts Mary was a student. I escorted so I like to say
21:07
I was a professional escort and I married one of my clients Know what you're made for most of us were made by the
21:15
Lord for marriage and marriage was made for us of course, there are a few people like Jesus himself who are called to a single life and We want to help you fulfill that calling and live pure before God.
21:26
We want our church to be a family for such people Some have experienced instead of the promise of wedlock the pain of its failure it is sin that damaged marriage and brought us damaging marriages and so Some are stung by the pain of broken marriages and we hope
21:44
For the grace of God to bear that God didn't just create marriage.
21:51
He also designed the basic Structure of marriage what it is how it works
21:56
Roles of men and women husbands and wives are also natural. They are in built by God himself
22:03
They're part of the chemistry of marriage that God made. They're not just old -fashioned traditions that we could just throw off Make marriage as we want it to be and still be happy.
22:14
It'll still work. We can make it our ways our marriage We'll do it our way Know what you're made for as male and female in chapter 1
22:20
We are told that God created both male and female in the image of God The men and women are made equally in God's image
22:28
But one can't take that verse in chapter 1 and then ignore what the very next chapter chapter 2 is
22:34
Here saying about the different roles for men and women in marriage first notice that the man was made first And he comes first for a reason he has
22:44
Primacy the Apostle Paul makes a point of that himself inspired by the Holy Spirit and 1st
22:50
Timothy chapter 2 woman is not to have authority over men in the church because Quote Adam was formed first then
22:58
Eve so Application of that a woman being a senior pastor of a church is contrary
23:06
Not only to Scripture. It's contrary to nature Second notice that the woman was made out of the man the word here in Hebrew says literally that she was formed
23:16
Or she was built by God so if you men If you like the way women are built like the form well
23:27
That's because she was God's work She was made of Adam's ribs
23:32
Matthew Henry aptly wrote quote Eve was made by God not out of Adam's head to rule over him
23:39
Nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of a side to be equal with him under his arm to be protected and near his heart to be loved
23:52
That's what women are for third She is built for a specific purpose to be a helper fit for him a counterpart an associate for life a supportive partner
24:08
Now feminism teaches that women's roles are just totally independent of men. Sometimes it goes so far.
24:14
They don't really need men at all When saying they like to say women need men like fish needs a bicycle.
24:20
I think that's cute. Well, sorry You're denying nature In first Corinthians chapter 11 the
24:26
Word of God says man is the head of woman for because Man was not made from woman but woman from man.
24:34
The roles are different and they're universal. They're not just cultural They're not just social constructs They're divine constructs because they come from creation the headship of man in marriage and the church is not a result of sin
24:47
It's not it was something society did not just ancient cultures. And now we've got to risen above that Something God made
24:56
It's part of who he made us to be so different roles What are known as gender are?
25:03
Not just the products of Sin or the oppressive patriarchal cultures or social constructs now
25:09
Maybe there are some roles that society and put on men or women There are not from God but others as in here in chapter 2
25:19
Go back to our very creation to who we are by nature And we see the evidence of that in the world now we here in Scripture you should look at the world if the roles that we normally think of is
25:30
It's given to a husband say those are leading and protecting providing if those were just the ideas of our culture just tradition just society
25:38
Oppressive culture implementing it on us and the role of wives were just those of our culture.
25:43
We can just change it We can dissolve it and forget all about it. If that's the case, then one would expect when you
25:49
Define some major cultures around the world. There's a lot of cultures all around the world With some major ones.
25:56
I'm not about some remote tribe somewhere in the jungle major cultures around the world you think some of them would have working examples of different kinds of marital arrangements major Functional societies in which women are the lead
26:11
Or the head, you know where there's matriarchs matriarchal cultures but while there are some slight differences in styles around the world among the major cultures different cultures have generally the same expectations of Husbands and wives
26:27
I mean the similarities are Remarkable if it's just something, you know compared to eating some societies eat with chopsticks some with forks
26:37
Very different you would think the roles in marriage between men and women would be like that If it's just something society made up if you see the recent documentary
26:46
What is a woman my Matt Walsh, which I recommend at one point he goes to a tribe in Kenya I think it was the
26:53
Maasai and asked what are the differences between men and women and The point of that exercise is that they are the same roles as in our culture
27:04
Until people thought that they could deny nature That's because the same
27:09
God made us all unlike water You know, we can deny who we are and we could try to live differently than what we were made for we can try
27:20
But like water we have a nature That we can't get away from the nature of man is to be a worshiper and a worker and The nature of woman is to help him in that to join him as a partner in that to be a helper fit for him
27:37
Now in our day the pressure is especially on women I think and the pressure is for many of them to be men
27:46
They basically have the same nature to have the same roles do the same things as men do it's all commercial
27:52
ESPN Women in sports and one of them was football helmet and the eye black under and you got this woman's gonna play football
27:58
It's not gonna work. You can you can pretend like it is you can make it look good on TV, but in real life It's not gonna work but that's why many victims of the social contagion of Transgenderism or something
28:09
Ted people cats because it's being suggested of the culture many of the victims most of the victims now of the social contagion of transgenderism are
28:16
Adolescent girls are trying to figure out what it means to be a woman With a society around them that it telling them that it means basically to be a man
28:24
Do the things that men do? now others Don't fall for that dream reality of denying ideology
28:31
But they still fail to understand and accept their God -given role as women
28:37
And so they end up seeking husbands who are essentially wives Who they look for helpers who are fit for them?
28:44
And they have none of the submissiveness and helpfulness that they should cultivate With all the verbosity of their nature.
28:52
We now have an epidemic of angry young men who are frustrated because their nature is called toxic and also frustrated because they're having a hard time finding help or fit for them and miserable young women
29:06
Who find it hard to believe that they'll be happiest if they live the way?
29:12
God made them Know what you're made for most of us
29:17
Is here are made for sex the Apostle Paul quotes the last phrase of chapter of reverse for 24
29:24
They shall become one flesh in 1st Corinthians chapter 6 verse 16 with specific reference to sex
29:30
I was he's saying it's about sex verse 25 also implies something about a natural sexuality in its proper context, which is marriage
29:37
So we see that sex is also part of God's abundant creation for us it is good
29:44
It's not a product of sin again. This is all before there's any sin now Western culture Because of Platonism that's not a difficult time with us
29:52
As in Platonism the material world is all fallen and the spiritual is all is what is perfect What is good and in the
29:59
Middle Ages? It was believed that any truly spiritual person would not want to do have anything to do with sex
30:05
That celibacy was the mark of true spirituality and the only good thing about sex
30:10
What is it was the only way to produce more virgins? Okay. Now, however, there are some people who want us to believe that any
30:18
Sexual expression is legitimate. We're gonna go on to the other stream now Anything you do sexually is is fine, and we're all supposed to approve of it
30:26
Yet the only bad thing is to repress others or yourself But know what you're made for the first Corinthians chapter 6 verse 13 says the body is not meant is not made for sexual immorality but for the
30:41
Lord Yes, most of us were made for sex But only as here in marriage other sex is sexual immorality and we weren't made for that So sex is
30:50
God's good gift here made before there was sin But since we chose to serve the creature as we'll see in the next chapter
30:57
But since we chose to serve the creature that the created thing The things that we think could be good make to serve us rather than the creator sex now dramatically shows the impact of sin
31:09
Think how unusual that last verse of the chapter seems to us verse 25 that if people could be comfortable and unashamed
31:16
Walking around naked that seems so incredible because we've fallen so far and we've lost so much
31:24
It was not God's original design We weren't made for to have to have him give us laws that repress us
31:33
So there's a little truth to that which they're repressing some desires and some things is not ideal
31:38
It's true. It's not ideal. But for now, it's the best we can do It's not God's original plan to have to cover up parts of our nature, but now we have to be restrained
31:49
Sometimes to do what is right. We have to cover up the strict parts of our natural selves We have to discipline even repress
31:56
Ourselves sometimes not to deny ourselves. What is good for us? But to keep us from what is bad for us therefore in verse 24
32:07
Because God has made wedlock a wife for a man Then the man has a role
32:13
Leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife and the relationship with the wife takes Priority over the relationship of the parents you can still be close to the parents
32:23
But the wife has to come first if a man isn't able to keep the wife closer than his parents
32:30
If he's just too weak allows his parents to interfere with his marriage. He's breaking
32:35
God's design and the result will be Unhappiness God's original design makes us happiest it is paradise
32:47
And the man also holds fast to the wife he left his parents for Which means he doesn't let go of her
32:55
For the parents or for another woman. He holds fast to the original one
33:03
Until death do us part God intended for there to be a wonderful perfectly
33:10
Complimentary dance of husband and wife loving and union submissive and self -sacrificing all under a happy Trust in the
33:19
Lord. This is the original Righteousness, not only was man right with God But all of creation was right with God and with each other
33:30
Adam and Eve lived among the other creatures in peace Even his body was obedient without any evil inclinations or temptations that require us to cover up or restrict ourselves
33:40
Everything was right Paradise that's
33:47
What you're made for? Paradise is what God can remake us for There is a restoration.
33:56
There's a return to what we were made for a paradise Regained and that remaking a paradise has already started
34:05
It started when Jesus rose from the dead and it can start in your life now
34:11
You can be remade first most importantly
34:17
We have to become right With God we have to regain that righteousness.
34:23
That was the greatest thing about the paradise that we see here the most tragic loss
34:30
And it's the one thing about that paradise You can have right now
34:38
How can you have it the same way that Adam and Eve? Could have kept paradise all they had to do
34:46
Was trust God? Trust that what he said was good and Good for them
34:53
That's all you have to do Trust God Only trust him
35:00
Trust the Lord God who made paradise for us trust the provision He's made to restore us to paradise the first man
35:10
Adam Became a living being the last Adam a life -giving spirit
