Adam And Eve

The seventh and final day was the day that God chose to rest and to think about how He would set creation into action. 

After God completed His work, all life began to spring up from the earth.

The Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground  (Symbolized by Jesus writing in the dirt) and the breath of life He breathed into the man in order to bring him to life. 

God made trees bearing all kinds of fruit for the garden in the east, in Eden, and there man was placed. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 

A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. 

The Lord God took man and placed him in the garden to take care of it. The Lord also commanded the man saying, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you shall surely die."

God then said that is was not good for man to be alone. He made man a helper. 

The man named all of the creatures of the earth which God had created. 

The Lord God then caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he was asleep He took one of the man's ribs and created woman. From the bone of man's bone woman came to be. 

For this reason, God intended for all men and women alike to seek out to become one in marriage, one flesh. 

One flesh in a holy bond between man and woman is symbolized by Jesus and His bride. Jesus, His bride, and the Spirit of God are one flesh. This is both the end of a former life and the beginning of a bond together as one flesh. For the three that testify to this are the Spirit, the water, and the blood. These three are also symbolic of the union between man and woman. These three are symbolic of rebirth and conception to increase God's kingdom.

The man and woman were both naked and not ashamed. 

Before free will, caused by eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, man and woman had no  concerns or anxiety. As one flesh blessed by God they relied on God for all of their needs. There was no need of currency, which has become the center piece of the world that we now live in. 

There is and was no other God.
