Genesis 2:8-15 (1) -- Adam's God-ordained task of working and keeping (part 1, work)

February 08, 2019




God set Adam in the garden with a two-fold purpose: to work and to guard ("keep") the garden of Eden. This discussion focuses on the God-ordained task of work, Adam's role in it throughout Scripture, Christ's fulfillment of it, and his body's execution of it as well. This culminates in the work to be done for the kingdom of the New garden of Eden pictured in Revelation 22.
