The significant points in this passage have to do with man' s creation and what God has accomplished for him before the earth was formed. It was God who made man and was mindful of him when he made him (Genesis 1: 26- 28). No other creation received a mind- full attention as the man did. God also made out time to visit him (Genesis 3: 8- 9). This shows how close God desires his relationship with man to be. Man' s creation, although made a little lower than the angels, warranted setting him up over God' s handwork, and it necessitated God putting all things under subjection under his feet.

Man is a tripartite being, but his essence as a tripartite being was concealed by God to the angelic realm because man was empowered to personally uncover his spiritual essence. This was the reason why Jesus was not recognized when he marched his spoils into the heavenly realm, because he was in the garb (clothing) of man. Psalms 24: 7- 8 says " Lift up your heads, O you gates; and be you lifted up, you everlasting doors; and the king of glory shall come in. Who is this king of glory? The lord (is) strong and mighty; the lord (is) mighty in battle. "

We understand that darkness had positioned itself against the earth and all created things in the beginning. The redemption of the earth therefore was entrusted to the man, who was given a mind- full consideration in his creation. Hence man was made a point of contact with the earth, his composition includes the dust of the earth (Genesis 2: 7) as of his flesh, just like the beast of the field (Genesis 2: 19), and the lord God was mindful to breathe into him the breath of life; an investment of himself in man. Christ invested himself in man and demanded that man also invest himself on the things that were put under him. However, we have grown to exploit all the things that were kept under us, instead of investing ourselves in them.


This is exactly what causes the light in men to be darkness (Matthew 6: 23). Many think they know, but are yet ignorant, because their knowledge is only real to them alone. Sometimes the choices we make based on what we see makes us spiritually blind and irresponsible.

How?

Genesis 3: 7 says " And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knewj that they were naked; and they sewed (exploited) fig leaves together and made themselves (change of vocation) aprons (materialism)" : they exploited what was kept under them, they changed their vocation by misapplying what they exploited and their target was materialism– to primarily meet their perceived physical and natural needs.

Adam and Eve exploited the availability of the fig leaves, changed their vocations of ordering creation into being fashion creators, in pursuit of materialism. This didn' t make them less Adam and Eve, but their mandate as agents of light against darkness was forfeited and they stood as symbols of condemnation. They even traded blames.
