LESSON 1 Adam - Part I LESSON 1 Adam - Part I Scripture References · Genesis Chapters 1, 2 and 3 Meaning of the Name · Adam means "earth." The Creation of Man · God created the heavens and the earth in 6 days, the last thing He made was man. · Adam was not born of earthly parents like us. He was made by God out of the dust (a lump of soil) of the earth as a full-grown man, not a tiny baby, and God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and he became a living being (Gen. 2:7). He was the first man on earth, the first human son of God (see Lk. 3:38), created in the image and likeness of God (Gen 1:26-27) · Note: We lost our sonship because of Adam's fall, but restored through the redemptive work of Jesus, the second Adam. * Note: God is a Spirit without physical body like ours. "Image" means "representation of God." "Likeness" means the "character or model of God." Here means that Adam was made in the moral and spiritual image of God, a free rational being, possessing something of God's knowledge, righteousness and true holiness before the fall. Man's Three-fold Nature (Genesis 2:7; I Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12) · Man is a creation of God who possesses a three-fold nature: 1. Spirit - The dimension of man which deals with the spiritual realm, the part of man that knows God. 2. Soul - The dimension of man which deals with the mental realm, man's intellect, the sensibilities, feelings, emotions and will. The part that reasons and thinks. 3. Body - The dimension of man which deals with physical realm, the house in which we live. · Man's soul together with his spirit makes him an immortal spiritual being. That is why the Bible teaches that man has an immortal soul! · Animal has a soul and a body, but not spirit because God only granted the "breath of life" (the spirit) to man. Animals have souls because they have limited reasoning faculties which are of the soul. Animals also have affection, and this too is a part of soul. · All plants and vegetation have a body only, because they do not have feelings or emotions, nor can they think. 1 The First Home in Paradise · God told him to be fruitful and multiply, and subdue the earth; and made him master of the fish and birds and all the animals (Gen. 1:28). · Note: man was a vegetarian until after the flood (Gen 1:29; 9:3-6). · The Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him (Gen. 2:18). · And the Lord caused the man fall into a deep sleep, and took one of his ribs and closed up the place from which He had removed it, and made the rib into a woman, and gave the woman to Adam as his wife - this must be a very beautiful wedding in that Garden of Eden, the most beautiful place that ever existed; with birds singing, angels watching, God united them in holy marriage. And that was the first human home on earth (Gen. 2:21-25). · The man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living (Gen. 3:20). Man's Duty and Limit (Gen. 2:15-17) · Man was to till the earth and keep it. · Man was to obey God, or he would die. · Man was given full permission of freedom in the garden with one simple, but significant limitation, that he was not to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. What Have We Learned Today? 1. God is the Maker of all, everything that is in the heavens and on earth. 2. He made the first man, and all human life derives from Adam and Eve. All people in the world are supposed to be of one family under God. Memory Bible Verse: Genesis 1:27, "And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." 2 Assignment for Lesson 1 Adam - Part I Scripture Readings: Genesis Chapters 1, 2 and 3 1. Who was Adam? Who created Adam? How was he created? (Genesis 1:26-30; 2:4-9; 15-17) 2. What made Adam unique, different from animals, since both man and animals were formed out of earth of the ground? (Genesis 1:26-28; 2:7,19) 3. What does it mean when God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness..."? What was the significance of God's breathing into man's nostrils the breath of life? (Genesis 1:26-27; 2:7) Note: In Genesis 1:26, God uses the words "us" and "our" to reveal His Trinity, three Persons in one Godhead, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, not three Gods, but one God in three Persons (cf. Matthew 28:19). We must accept this Biblical doctrine by faith! 4. What duty and limit did God place on man in the Garden of Eden? (Genesis 2:15-17) Memory Bible Verse: Genesis 1:27,”So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” 3 LESSON 2 Adam - Part II Scripture References · Genesis 3:1-24; Romans 5:12-21; I Corinthians 15:21-22 The Temptation and Fall · In Gen. 3:1, serpent was used as a pictorial and symbolic reference to Satan. · Satan, the fallen evil angel, the adversary of God and His people and all that is good, made Eve doubt about God's word, "Did God really say that you must not eat fruit from any tree in the garden?” The woman answered,, “We may eat fruit from the trees of the garden, but God told us, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of garden, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. You must not even touch it, or you will die.’” Then Satan made Eve defy God and listen to his big lie by saying, "You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil" (Gen. 3:2-5). · Thus, Satan incited the woman to unbelief and eventually led her to disobedience and rebellion. She took of its fruit and ate; and also gave some to Adam to eat.(Gen. 3:6). · After Eve and Adam had eaten the forbidden fruit, their eyes were opened and they suddenly became aware of their nakedness, and were embarrassed, so they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons, trying to cover their sin and shame; then they hid themselves, for they were afraid to see God (Gen. 3:7 -8). · And God came and called to the man, "Where are you, Adam?" God already knew what happened; with a sad heart He was patiently and graciously seeking a lost man and his wife (Gen. 3:9-13). · Ever since then, God has been trying to seek and save lost sinners (Lk. 19:10). The Judgment of God · After the fall of Adam, God pronounced judgment upon the offenders: (1) The serpent, the devil, was cursed; (2) the condition of womanhood was changed in two respects: (a) multiplied pain in childbirth and (b) a status of subjection to her husband; (3) the ground was cursed to produce thorns and thistles; (4) man was to earn his living by the sweat of his brow; (5) physical death was to be the lot of all human beings; (6) man became separated from God, for the Lord drove the man out of the Garden of Eden; henceforth, sorrow, hardship, toil and death have become man's portion. · Note: Genesis 3:24, "... God placed cherubim... to guard the way to the tree of life." Cherubim (plural of cherub) are winged creatures of some heavenly angelic order. They act as guardian for God and His interests (cf. Ex. 25:18-22; I Samuel 4:4; II Kings 19:15). The Promise of A Savior 4 · In the midst of His wrath, God remembered mercy. The Lord graciously promised mankind a Redeemer and Savior. In Gen. 3:15, God said to the serpent, the devil, "And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; He (the promised Redeemer and Savior) shall crush and tread your head under foot, and you will lie in wait and bite His heel." · Note: this is the first promise of a Savior, picturing Christ's victory over Satan by dying on the cross to redeem us from sin - "He shall crush your head and you (the devil) will bite His heel." · After this, God made garments of skins for Adam and his wife and clothed them (Gen. 3:21). Here were two goats or lambs killed and sacrificed; they died and shed their blood for Adam and Eve; and their skins were made garments, instead of the tattered aprons made of fig leaves, to cover our first parents' guilt and shame. And years later, God's Son Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, came and died and shed His precious blood for us, to wash and cleanse us from sin and guilt. What a wonderful and gracious Savior we have in Jesus Christ! Death through Adam, Life through Christ · When Adam sinned, sin entered the world.

  • The Mystery of Mary Magdalene – [email protected] - ©2017 WGS Ministries the Mystery of Mary Magdalene – Part 1
    Word of God, Speak – The Mystery of Mary Magdalene www.WGSministries.org – [email protected] - ©2017 WGS Ministries The Mystery of Mary Magdalene – Part 1 Mystery and intrigue have surrounded the maiden from Magdala. Many have believed her to be . Jesus’s wife . and . or . The chief of the apostles . and . or . An unfortunate victim of a male power play in early Church politics . and . .or A converted prostitute. Take your pick. Mix and match. The probability is that you, like most, will fail to decipher the mystery if you rely upon sensational articles that have grabbed headlines and sold millions of books in our lifetime. Yet, since the Gospels were written, never have so many believed so much about one person with so little evidence! This may surprise you – so little evidence? Yes, surprisingly, she is barely mentioned in the Gospel narrative during the life and death of Jesus, but then she appears in one of the resurrection encounters with Jesus with dramatic force. In this special edition of Stories of the Master, we will explore what we know from the biblical record, I will share a story about Mary from John 20 when she encountered the resurrected Lord, and we will investigate why so many believe so many different things about her. What are these beliefs based upon, and are they as credible like the original biblical stories? We begin by investigating the biblical record. Her name was Mary, in the first century – Miriam – a common Hebrew name, and she came from the village of Magdala. Mary was a common name and many “Mary’s” show up in the New Testament.

  • The Sorry Tale
    THE SORRY TALE A STORY OF THE TIME OF CHRIST BY PATIENCE WORTH COMMUNICATED THROUGH MRS. JOHN H. CURRAN EDITED BY CASPER S. YOST NEW YORK 1917 COPYRIGHT, 1917, BY HENRY HOLT AND COMPANY Published June, 1917 THE QUINN & BODEN CO. PRESS Rahway. N. J. PREFACE THE story of the invisible author of The Sorry Tale was told in the book entitled Patience Worth: A Psychic Mystery. It seems sufficient here to present a brief statement of the facts in relation to that phenomenal personality. She came to Mrs. John H. Curran, of St. Louis, Missouri, one evening in the summer of 1913, as Mrs. Curran sat with a ouija board on her knees, and introduced herself as "Patience Worth," with the declaration that she had lived long ago and now had come again. From that time she has poured out a continuous stream of communications, conversational or literary, including hundreds of poems, numerous parables and allegories, several short stories, a drama, and two novels. All of her compositions are distinguished by the archaic form of her language, which is, however, not the same in any two of her larger works, there being important dialectal variations that make each one quite different from the others in this particular, and the archaic quality as well as the dialectal form varies as much in her minor productions and in her conversations. Yet upon all of them is the impress of a single creative personality. Each and every one of them bears the imprint of Patience Worth. Mrs. Curran, through whom all of this matter has come, is a young woman of normal disposition and temperament, intelligent and vivacious.

Some read it with desire to learn, and read But to their subject pay but little heed; Some read it as their duty every week, But no instruction from the Bible seek; While others read it with but little care, With no regard to how they read or where; Some read it as a History, to know How people lived two thousand years ago, Some read it to bring themselves into repute, By showing others how they can dispute; While others read because their neighbours do, To see how long it takes to read it through. Some read it for the wonders that are there, How David killed a lion and a bear; While others read it with uncommon care, Hoping to find some contradictions there. Some read as though it did not speak to them But to the people at Jerusalem. One reads it as a book of mysteries, And won't believe the very thing he sees; One reads with father's specs upon his head, And sees the thing just as his father said; Some read to prove a pre-adopted creed, Hence understanding but little as they read, For every passage in the book they bend To make it suit that all-important end.

  • Lazarus Dies for the Glory of God
    Lazarus Dies For The Glory of God ickness and death are frequent events in life. It is the rare person who is not sick at least one time each year. When we have a S sore throat or the flu, we rarely plead for God to heal us, because such illness is so common and experience has revealed that eventually we will recover and resume a “normal life.” But when something more serious happens, such as a broken leg, an auto- mobile accident, appendicitis attack, heart attack, pneumonia, or perhaps a malignant cancer, we ask God for help! Life threat- ening diseases and major surgeries motivate us to ask our church, friends, family members, and our pastor to pray for healing. Our gracious God in His mercy often heals. Usually, He allows us to suffer for a while. Sometimes He does not heal. Eventually, it will be God’s will for us to die when we reach the limit of the days that God gave us (Job 14:5). Psalm 116:15 reminds us that the death of His godly ones is precious in God’s sight. Our study is not about someone dying and going to heaven. It is about a man called Lazarus who suffered through a sickness, eventually died and then returned to life. We will discover why Christ allowed him to die and then resurrected him. Turn to John 11:1-16. News From Jerusalem—Lazarus Is Sick. Our last In this verse we are told that a certain man lived in a city called study was from Luke 17:7-10 and the title was, “Jesus’ Defi nition Bethany.

  • Study Bible Notes
    LUKE Study Notes Title Luke: The Greek form of the name isLou·kasʹ. Luke, the writer of this Gospel and of Acts of Apostles, was a physician and a faithful companion to the apostle Paul. (Col 4:14; see also “Introduction to Luke.”) Because of his Greek name and his style of writing, some have claimed that Luke was not a Jew. Also, at Col 4:10-14, Paul first speaks of “those circumcised” and later mentions Luke. However, that runs contrary to the indication at Ro 3:1, 2, which says that the Jews “were entrusted with the sacred pronouncements of God.” Therefore, Luke may have been a Greek-speaking Jew with a Greek name. According to Luke: None of the Gospel writers identify themselves as such in their accounts, and titles are evidently not part of the original text. In some manuscripts of Luke’s Gospel, the title appears asEu·ag·geʹli·on Ka·taʹ Lou·kanʹ (“Good News [or, “Gospel”] According to Luke”), whereas in others a shorter title, Ka·taʹ Lou·kanʹ(“According to Luke”), is used. It is not clear exactly when such titles were added or began to be used. Some suggest the second century C.E., since examples of the longer title have been found in Gospel manuscripts that have been dated to the end of the second century or early third century. According to some scholars, the opening words of Mark’s book (“The beginning of the good news about Jesus Christ, the Son of God”) may have been the reason why the term “gospel” (lit., “good news”) came to be used to describe these accounts.

  • Strong Courageous
    She is Strong and She Is Strong and Courageous CourageousA 90-Day Devotional A 90-Day Devotional Ann White ANN WHITE On college campuses across the US today, I frequently encounter the objections that Christianity is sexist, and the Bible is bad news for women. In this devotional, Ann White compellingly and compassionately demonstrates that the Bible is inhabited by strong and courageous women, and the Christian God consistently calls, encourages, and equips women—in the Bible, throughout history, and today! Studying and praying through this devotional has not only renewed my gratitude that God has adopted me into His family as His daughter, but it has also impressed upon me afresh why Jesus is exactly the kind of man I want to spend time with and exactly the kind of God I long to worship. —Jo Vitale, dean of studies, Zacharias Institute What courageous life are you being called to? If you need encouragement for strength, commit ninety days to She Is Strong and Courageous. In this book, you will read stories of courageous women and be prepared to pursue and live your own call to courage. —Dee Ann Turner, retired vice president of Chick-fl-A, and best- selling author of It’s My Pleasure By sharing the lives of numerous women in the Bible and the history of the world, Ann White compels us to reach for strength and courage. As women uniquely created by God for His purposes and pleasure, these devotions bolster our convictions as we impact our circles of infuence. Ann’s personal struggles served as a catalyst for empowering women to reach beyond themselves to grasp their God-given missions.
