God’s creation was centered on life. This is unfolded in Genesis 1. If you read our messages on Genesis 1, you will see that God’s creation was focused on life.After creating man God placed him in front of the tree of life, indicating that He wanted man to take Him in as life. This is unveiled in Genesis 2:8-9. The Old Testament saints enjoyed God as their life. In the time of the New Testament, God came in the Person of the Son to be life to man. As we have already seen, the flow of the river from Eden brought forth gold, pearl, and onyx, which are materials for God’s building (Gen. 2:10-12).God used a rib from Adam to build a bride for him (Gen. 2:22), which was a type of the building of the church and ultimately of the New Jerusalem.
