Why God Said 'Not Good' in a Perfect World? | Genesis 2

God declared everything good. So why does Genesis 2 suddenly say it is not good?

This observation lesson walks through Genesis 2:4-25 looking at the characters, the language that repeats, and what the Garden of Eden tells us about who God is. Along the way, we discover why God's personal name appears here for the first time, what work looked like before the fall, and what "bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh" actually reveals about the equality of man and woman.

This is the observation step of our inductive Bible study through Genesis, part of the Cover to Cover: From Garden to Glory series at Life Church SA. Before we interpret or apply, we ask what the text actually says.
