In genesis 2 God is said to have ‘breathed into his nostrils the breath of life’, when bringing Adam to life. This shows a more personal God who is taking great care in creating humans. This is showing how humans are special to God and the world exists for man. It contrasts with the transcendent and impersonal God of chapter 1.
God is also portrayed as all loving, or omnibenevolent. He cares and loves for all his creation, this is why he makes it good. In Roman 5 he is said to have ‘poured out his love into our hearts’.
The creation stories also imply an all knowing or omniscient God. God would never have been able to create the world without immense knowledge of how to do it. So in order to be omnipotent, the Christian God would also have to be omniscient.
In Genesis 2 and 3 God is seen as a craftsman. This is a more anthropomorphic and impersonal view of God. He’s is shown making man from the dust. Also in Job 38 God is shown as a ‘designer who laid the foundations of the Earth’. Genesis always describes god as sculpting the Earth. The words sculptor, designer and craftsman are all more human and personal.
Although not actually stated in the story, ‘Creatio ex nihilo’ or ‘creation out of nothing’ is implied in Genesis 1. This is because it describes how God created the heavens and earth step by step. Whereas, in Genesis 2 it concentrates on what God creates on the Earth, like the animals and Adam and Eve. Evidence against creatio ex nihilo is also found in other parts of the Bible. For example, in Hebrews a quote reads ‘things which are seen were not made of things which are visible’ meaning God gave shape to what was already there. In genesis 2 he is said to have ‘made order out of chaos’.
The finally aspect of God is that he is a provider, like a father of all his creation. When he creates the Garden of Eden he tells Adam and Eve that they can freely eat from all trees except that of the tree of knowledge. He provides his creation with their food and they do not have to work for it until the fall. God also creates heaven so that there is a place for each person after death. He provides humans with all they need. This also adds to the idea of an omnibenevolent God.
In conclusion, the Judeo Christian God is portrayed as a creator who is all loving, powerful and knowing. He cares and provides for his creation that he sculpted and designs.
