Week 2: The Institution of Work and Marriage
It is in God’s good providence that we have been given two accounts of creation, which complement one another. Both focus on the creation of human beings. Yet there is a significant difference between them. In Genesis 1 the Creator, who is named “God,” upholds the whole cosmos, while in Genesis 2 he is given his covenant name, “the LORD God,” who enjoys intimate fellowship with his human creatures. In particular, two foundation stones for human life on earth are laid in Genesis 2, namely work and marriage. Both are seen as the loving provision of Yahweh.
