Genesis 2:16-17 (NKJV)
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
God created Adam and placed him in the world He created for Adam. Even before the Fall, Adam receives instructions from God on how he is to live. This is covenantal language, for sure. But notice that it is also practical teaching. Do this and don't do that. How does Adam learn this. From God's Word.
This is paradigmatic for all men and women made in the image of God. The Word of God is given to us for our instruction and it is given to us for all of life, for all aspects of life, for all subjects in life.
