God gave Adam a job.

The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
Until now, God declared everything good.
Genesis 2:21-23
So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. 23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”
God created the perfect partner Eve from his side.
Genesis 1:26
Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.
They were made in God’s image to reign.
Hebrews 2:8 NLT
You gave them authority over all things.” Now when it says “all things,” it means nothing is left out. But we have not yet seen all things put under their authority.
Instead of ruling the world, it feels like we are being ruled by the world.
What Happened? Sin Happened! What can be done?
Romans 5:18-19 NLT
Yes, Adam’s one sin brings condemnation for everyone, but Christ’s one act of righteousness brings a right relationship with God and new life for everyone. 19 Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous.
Adam failed where Jesus succeeded.
Revelation 3:20-21; Revelation 5:9-10; Revelation 22:1-5
Where Adam failed, Jesus succeeded. We will be given a position of authority on the earth, because Eden is our fulfilled destiny.
