English Christian Song | "God's Genuineness and Loveliness"
November 29, 2024
In this scene of "To Adam also and to Eve did Jehovah God make coats of skins, and clothed them," we can see that God appears as a parent of Adam and Eve.
I
God created these two people and treated them as His companions. As their only family, God looked after their lives and took care of their food, clothing and shelter needs. Here, God appears as a parent of Adam and Eve. While God does this, man does not see how lofty God is; he does not see God's supremacy, and he does not see God's mystery, and especially not His wrath or majesty. All he sees is God's humbleness, His affection, His concern for man and His responsibility and care for him.
II
The attitude and way in which God treated Adam and Eve is akin to how parents show concern for their children. It's also like the way parents love, look after, and care for their own sons and daughters—real, visible, and tangible. Instead of elevating Himself to a high and mighty position, God personally used skins to make clothing for man. This might seem like a trivial thing—some people might not even think it's worth mentioning—but it allows any follower of God who was beset with vague conceptions about Him to gain an insight into His genuineness and loveliness, and to see His faithfulness and His humbleness.
