The Theology of Calvin . . . and Hobbes (Relationships)

God was pleased with His creation, Genesis 1 tells us. He saw all that He had made — all the creatures and man — and “it was good.” Then God saw something that He described as “not good” (Gen. 2:18). It was not good for man to be alone. He needed a counterpart — so God created Eve.

Man — alone??? He had GOD! He had a perfect relationship with his Creator. But Adam needed a human companion. He needed relationships with other humans. And so do we.
