ADAM AND EVE

Sunday Morning - July 6, 1997

Text: Genesis 1:26-28 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion &ldots;

27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."

TAKE A WIFE FROM THE FAMILY

PART OF ADAM'S BODY

Genesis 2:23 "And Adam said, This is now bone of [ejk, out of or from the - LXX] my bones, and flesh of [ejk, out of or from the - LXX] my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."

PART OF CHRIST BODY, THE CHURCH

Ephesians 5:25-32 "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church [ejkklhsi>a, the word is made up with two words ejk meaning out of or from, and kale>w, meaning to call], and gave himself for it;

26. That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

John 17:17 "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."

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.

Colossians 1:22-23 "In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: 23. If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, &ldots;"

28. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

Philippians 2:13 "For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure."

Hebrews 13:20-21 "Now the God of peace, &ldots;through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21. Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; &ldots;"

30. For we are members of [FROM] his body, of [ejk, out of the] his flesh, and of [ejk, out of the] his bones.

1 Corinthians 12:12 "For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ."

1 Corinthians 12:18 "But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him."

31. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

1 Corinthians 12:25 "That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another."

32. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church."

ONE DAY, THE MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB

Revelation 19:7-8 "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness [righteous acts] of saints."
