My Answer

Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Based on this closing verse of Genesis 1, my answer to what is missing, is nothing. God saw it was very good. Since the seventh day He rested from His labors, I have to say that God was done and had left nothing undone, so I believe nothing is missing.

If you look back at my hints you might see that the abundance wasn’t enough. The dominion wasn’t enough. The blessings weren’t enough? So what happened?

Satan planted a seed of doubt with a lie and it took root and birthed sin.

Everything that I wrote about in The Hint was a result of that one event.

Genesis 3:14-17 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

Because the abundance God provided wasn’t enough dissatisfaction was born and sufficiency was placed on the back shelf.

Hints

Genesis 2:9,17 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Psalm 52:3 Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.

Romans 5:13 For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Deuteronomy 6:5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

That is enough hints for now.

Hints are not answers. I asked you what was missing yesterday and to search out the answer, look to the surrounding scriptures set before you in Genesis 1:27-29 for understanding.
