Religion Reflection on Genesis 1 to 3
Reflections on Genesis 1 to 3 from a religious perspective
It is the tale of the creation of the world, the creation of a man and a woman, and their subsequent expulsion from the Garden of Eden after being tricked by a serpent that is told in Genesis 1-3 (“Genesis 1-3”). It is written in Genesis 1-3 that “the world was formless and empty” (1.2), and there was nothing but darkness before to the Beginning. The Spirit of God made the decision to infuse the world with life and to create a perfect environment for all living things to thrive. He distinguished between day and night on the first day of creation by making light. He constructed the sky as a “vault between the rivers” on the second day of creation (Genesis 1-3, verse 1.6). The creation of land and vegetation (including numerous types of trees and plants) occurred on the third day.
It was on the fourth day of creation that God created light and darkness, as well as the sun, moon, and stars, which govern the times of day as well as distinguish between darkness and light. God created birds in the skies and living creatures in the waters on the fifth day of creation. He created the living creatures that can be found on the ground on the sixth day. It was the wild animals and the livestock that were the problem. After that, God made a man “in our image, in our likeness” (Genesis 1-3, verse 26), who would rule over all other creatures, including birds, animals, fish, and fishes (as well as humans). The seventh day was set aside for relaxation, which is why it was designated as holy and blessed.
The natural world was abundant, vibrant, and of a substantial proportion. It was designed in the shape of a garden, with a tree of knowledge in the center of the space. It was forbidden to eat the fruits of it, as well as to open one’s eyes and live one’s life completely reliant on God and His guidance and will. The first man, Adam, was given a first lady, Eve, who was created from a rib taken from his body. With the exception of the tree of knowledge, they were free to do whatever they pleased. Because they couldn’t tell the difference between good and evil, their lives were severely restricted. The tree rule established by God taught Adam and Eve to obey God’s will and live their lives in accordance with his rules and regulations. All of the living creatures have names that Adam gave them. Adam and Eve coexisted as partners who were able to provide appropriate assistance to one another. The serpent’s deception exposed the bad aspects of humans’ weak nature, as well as the harmful consequences of disobeying the established laws. The destiny of humanity, as descendants of Adam and Eve, has been altered as a result of God’s curse on them for their disobedience.
Genesis 1-3 portrays God as progressing from the spirit of God who creates the world of the living, a perfect environment for all living animals, to the maker of the first humans. He is to humanity what a loving and caring father would be, guiding them and teaching them how to live in cooperation and trust, as well as how to follow the rules. God is enraged with His creations as a result of the violation of the one and only law. He curses them and their offspring, telling them that they would have to live in anguish and do hard work in order to survive. It demonstrates that God is just since disobeying the laws results in punishment.
The tale of Creation is shared by all three Abrahamic faiths. It has a different understanding of God’s decision to create a man than the Christian faith. In Genesis, he made the decision, and in the Bereshith, he is confronted by angels and seraphim of Truth and Peace, who stand in opposition to him. They were well aware that humanity would be full of deception and lack of regard for the truth, and that this would destabilize the balance of God’s creation. Only Charity agreed with God’s plan to create a human being in His image and likeness. It was considered that a man would be a good ally in times of need and would offer serenity and quiet to those who needed it the most Charity’s vision was followed by God’s creation of man, who was endowed with the Truth in order to make him law-abiding in the same way that He is. Consequently, Peace and Truth were already aware of the true character of humanity, and from the very beginning, the angels of God did not believe in God’s creation because humans simply resembled Him, but did not equal Him, were weak-hearted, and had a strong desire to succeed.
