Talking about Garden of Eden and the Fallout that comes from sin.
Do you ever look around the world and think, “Man, this place is jacked up.”
How many of you have ever heard someone say hey don’t believe in god because they don’t think God would allow such an awful world of sickness and pain?
Next time you hear that, you will have an answer because that’s what we are talking about tonight!

Genesis 2:4
First thing is first, something cool happens after God creates everything.
What?
God creates the Garden of Eden with its own irrigation system.
No rain, springs from the ground!
The original man, we know him as Adam, was literally handcrafted by God Himself.
Again, evolution, creation, or big bang … we’ll save that for later.
But this man was formed by God’s hands, and the breath that he had was given to him by God Himself.
That’s pretty special!

Again, evolution, creation, or big bang … we’ll save that for later.
But this man was formed by God’s hands, and the breath that he had was given to him by God Himself.
That’s pretty special!
So far, we have no rain, springs of water, and a man crafted by God Himself.
It gets better:
Genesis 2:
So, this man was handcrafted by God, placed in a perfect garden with the most beautiful of trees that had the tastiest of fruits, and not only that but it was a self-watering garden.
Man, this place sounds awesome!
Genesis 2:10-
This place was loaded down with gold and other precious resources, and it had four different rivers flowing through it.
Any of you think this sounds like a place you’d like to live?
I know I would!
And it gets even better:
This place was loaded down with gold and other precious resources, and it had four different rivers flowing through it.
Any of you think this sounds like a place you’d like to live?
I know I would!
And it gets even better:
We finally come across something that we may perceive as negative: work.
Adam had a job to do.
Let’s read a little further to see what his job description is:
We finally come across something that we may perceive as negative: work.
Adam had a job to do.
Let’s read a little further to see what his job description is:
First on the job description list: eat whatever you want! “Eat anything and everything, except for that ONE in the middle.
Other than that, have at it!”
I’m digging it!
genesis 2:
Second on the job description list: name the animals, and whatever you say goes!
Second on the job description list: name the animals, and whatever you say goes!
What an awesome job!
Eat anything you want, and decide what all the animals are going to be called!
genesis 2:20-24
This man was in the perfect place with the perfect job, and yet he was still missing something.
And when God saw that the man had something that wasn’t just absolutely perfect, He fixed it right away!
genesis 2:23-24
Wow.
Could this have gotten any better?
Wow.
Could this have gotten any better?
Let’s take a few seconds to recap.
Adam handcrafted by God
Lived in a perfect and beautiful place made by God himself
Never rained because it had a self watering spring/stream system
Trees were beautiful, fruit was awesome.
Gold and other precious resources
Four rivers.
Job: Eat fruit, name the animals, live with Eve.
Both naked.
Why is that important?
PERFECT Temperatures!
It was a wonderland!
Application
Lets go back to our question about how God could create a world with such evil.
After reading this, it doesn’t really look like he did, does it?
It looks like he created a Wonderland.
God didn’t create a world full of brokenness and pain.
God created a perfect world full of rest and pleasure!
God’s original plan was for mankind to live in perfect harmony together with no pain, no death, no work, no storms, and no struggles!
But unfortunately, something happened to mess up that plan.

We brought in sin.
And sin ruined it all.
But the same God that created everything made a plan to save it and recreate this paradise.
