1B27(title) God responded to Adam and Eve
God responded favorably to Adam and Eve as they obeyed His one requirement.
1B27(sub-title) God continued to give them LIFE (both physical and spiritual) and to make Himself known TO and THROUGH them
Before Eve was created, Adam cared for the Garden of Eden and lived freely in it, as God intended Gen 2:15-16. God was closely interacting with Adam, even deferring to him by giving him “naming rights” for all the animals and birds, then accepting his decisions! Gen 2:19,20a. So God was giving him LIFE (both physical and spiritual) and making Himself known TO and THROUGH him.
After Eve was created they lived together in a perfect marriage in a perfect setting Gen 2:23,24-25. God continued to give them LIFE (both physical and spiritual) and make Himself known TO and THROUGH them.
They were fulfilling God’s roles for them, sharing with God in accomplishing His primary purpose.
