Explanation

(a) After God had completed the creation of heaven and earth, there was neither man nor plant or any other living creature to live on earth. There was no rain to water the earth except the dew that came from heaven. God formed man out of the dust of the earth and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils. Man immediately became a living being. God made a garden in Eden and commanded the man to take charge over it.

There were trees ( both the trees of knowledge and evil) which God planted in the garden. Four rivers namely Pishon, Gihon, Tigris and Euphrates which flowed out to wet the garden divided the garden into four. God commanded man to eat of every tree of the garden, but the tree of knowledge of good and evil, man should not eat. If man should eat of the forbidden tree, that means disobedience and the consequence of it would be death. God saw that man was lonely in the garden and He (God ) decided to make a partner for him. He caused a deep sleep to befall man and He (God) took a rib out of him and used it to make woman as a life partner for Adam. The woman was named Eve, for she was made out of man's rib. When Adam woke up and saw her, she said: " This is the bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman because she was taken out of a man".

Explanation

(a) God's promise to Abraham that his descendants would inherit the world was not because of his obedience to the law, but as a result of his faith in God. The knowledge of the law leads to punishment. Without the law, there would be no sin. The promise to Abraham's heirs depends on faith and the promise, however, is not only for Abraham's descendants alone, but for all who believe by faith just as Abraham the father of the faithfuls whose faith in God was fully illustrate when he believed God's promise that he would be the father of all nations. Despite the old age of both Abraham and Sarah, Abraham did not doubt God's promise, but held on to the faith he had in God. Because of one man's disobedience, many became sinners and were condemned due to Adam's sin. By the grace of God through the righteousness in Jesus, mankind has been saved. Law came to multiply transgression, where sin increased, grace abounded.
