Genesis 2:18-25 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.… Let us speak of — I. The woman. 1. Her creation. 2. The purpose God had in view in creating her. II. The wonderful institution by which man and woman are made one. It is wonderful that this institution should be found so early in human history. III. The glorious union of which this institution is a type. Adam is a type of Christ; and since Christ was the spouse of the Church, then Eve was a type of the Church. And our conclusion therefore is that the marriage of Adam and Eve, and the marriage institute altogether, is typical of the union between Christ and the Church. (T. W. Richards, M. A.)
