FOCAL TEXT: Genesis 2 vs 15►► “And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.”~》 King James Version》_______________________________________
GRACIOUS greetings, Cherished one. The responsibility of humans did not start after the fall of the first parent. It was part of God’s agenda for humans to live a responsible life even from the beginning. God created man in His own image and likeness to function like Him. And Papa God is a working God. He is not a lazy Supreme being. It is true He created man for His pleasure. It is also true man was created to enjoy God’s abundance and resources. However, Adam was instructed to to DRESS and KEEP the garden.
In other words, God gave man a working responsibility concerning the Garden. “Eden” in the Hebrew language means “pleasure or delight”._ The root word of Eden also implies luxury or delicacy. Beloved, why would God create man in the Garden of pleasure or delicacy and not the Garden of pain and sorrows? *God’s intention for mankind has always been the best and it will forever be such.* In the midst of the abundance, pleasure or delicacy, God told mankind to DRESS and keep the Garden. To dress the Garden means to work or till it. The Garden was to be prepared or cultivated for the right purposes.
