Q.20. What was God’s providence relating to the humans he created?
A. God providentially put Adam a nd Eve in paradise and assigned them the job of taking care of it. He gave them permission to eat everything that grew,[1] put them in authority over all the creatures,[2] and established marriage as a help for Adam.[3] God allowed them to have fellowship with him,[4] instituted the Sabbath,[5] and made a covenant of life with them on the condition of their personal, perfect, and perpetual obedience.[6] The tree of life was a sign guaranteeing this covenant.[7] Finally, God told them not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil or they would die.[8]
