God Is Relational

Genesis 1

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness… (v 26)

So God created mankind in his own image,
    in the image of God he created them;
    male and female he created them. (v 27)

God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” (v 28)

Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. (v 29)

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. (v 31)

 

Genesis 2

Then the Lord God formed a man[c] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. (v 7-8)

The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him. (v 18)

 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animalsand all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature,that was its name. (v 19)

Genesis 3

Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?” He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.” And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?” (v 8-11)
