Question
How did the man live when God created the world?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story

Genesis 2:4-4:26 is the first of the ten segments of Adam and Eve’s family history.
-
God created man and put him in the Garden of Eden.

Only then, people began to call on the name of the Lord (4:1-26.)
Meditation: My Story

Integrity - What does the downfall of Adam and Eve tell me? Am I doing things not to God’s liking due to my own pride and desire?

Question
What is the result of sin?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
This is the third segment of Adam and Eve’s family, the account of Noah’s family.

Like Enoch, Noah walked with God. The flood was brought by the sin of the world. Noah was saved because of his righteousness and submission. The flood renewed the world, God established new covenant with Noah and commanded him to “be fruitful and increase in number.” The sons of Noah continued to sin but Shem was blessed.
-
A race was selected from the sinful world and brought hope that the final salvation will come through them.
Meditation: My Story
-
Identity - Am I drifting in the sinful world like everyone else or live in God’s light as His children like Noah?
-
Fidelity - It seemed that Noah had an impossible task at hand but “Noah did everything just as God commanded him.” Am I facing some tasks that seems to be impossible? Am I following His command?

Question
How did God’s salvation plan continue among the nations?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story

The fifth segment of Adam and Eve’s the family history. The account of Shem’s family.
-
This history connects Abram (Abraham), the ancestor of Israel, to Noah’s son Shem and the history of the world. In another word, it connects the history of man’s downfall to God’s salvation plan. Luke 3:34-36 reminds us the importance of this family for their offspring Abraham would bring blessings to all people.
Meditation: My Story

Identity - God saves the people of His election. Do I know I am of the elected?
-
Fidelity - Can God use me to bring salvation to those people I know, such as family, friends, or co-workers?
