God's Redemption Story (Genesis)Shembull

God created the entire universe and everything in it simply by speaking. But when he created his children, he took his time.

His plan started with a desire to make people in his image. He wanted Adam and Eve to look like him. Looking in the mirror, they saw a resemblance to their God.

Instead of speaking people into existence, God reached down into the dirt and formed Adam and Eve with his own hands. God’s fingerprints all over their bodies identified their creator.

And to give Adam and Eve life, God leaned down, put his face close to theirs, and breathed his own breath into their nostrils. And when they opened our eyes for the first time, they saw the love in their Father’s eyes—up close and personal.

And it’s the same for you.
