Genesis 2:4-7 - Wesleyan/Methodist Perspective
In the Genesis account of creation, particularly in 2:4-7, we see God intimately involved in forming humanity, breathing life into us. This reflects the Wesleyan understanding of prevenient grace, where God's active presence enables us to respond to Him and recognize our inherent dignity as His created beings. Furthermore, this passage lays the groundwork for the pursuit of sanctification, highlighting our need for spiritual transformation as we are shaped in God's image.
