And the LORD GOD said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD GOD formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. And the LORD GOD caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and He slept: and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD GOD had taken from man, made He a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. (Gen 2:18-25)
Adam named all the animal kinds GOD brought to him, beast and fowl, and found no mate for himself, for all of them were unlike man. GOD made special provision for a perfect mate and help for Adam that would come from Adam. GOD created the woman who would be named Eve, the mother of all of Adam's descendants, and GOD brought them together in the institution and doctrine of marriage. One man, one woman, walking together in fellowship with their GOD, and not ashamed.
Of course, sIn would change all that, but here they are in perfect harmony with themselves and with GOD and GOD blessed it and called it very good. Adam, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, records this extended discussion of the events of day six in explanation and revelation of the details of male and female, and marriage, which were not revealed in GOD's chronological account of creation. We do well to study the doctrine and the source and origin of marriage so we can say, when asked or in defense of marriage, "Thus saith the Lord".
We are commanded to speak the Truth in love, to proclaim righteousness in the midst of perversion, to shine light into the darkness, and share the Good News of Jesus Christ and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary for sIn and forgiveness to those that repent and believe. GOD has already judged all sIn as rebellion against Him and declared all of us guilty before Him. All of us are in need of Salvation and that is why Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, put on flesh and went willingly and humbly to that cruel Roman cross in our place.
He paid the debt we cannot pay, and freely offers forgiveness and Salvation to those who will turn from their sIn and turn to Him, surrendering to Him on His terms, and receive Him by faith in what He has already done. GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Trust Him and be born again, and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship that is abundant and everlasting. Leave this old broken sinful world, and cleave to Jesus Christ your only Salvation.
