AC.472, 창5:1, '이것은 아담의 계보를 적은 책이니라' (AC.469-474)

1절, 이것은 아담의 계보를 적은 책이니라 하나님이 사람을 창조하실 때에 하나님의 모양대로 지으시되 This is the book of the births of man. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him.

 

472

That by the “day in which God created man” is signified his being made spiritual, and that by “God making him in his likeness” is signified his being made celestial, appears from what was said and shown above. The expression to “create” properly relates to man when he is being created anew, or regenerated; and the word “make,” when he is being perfected; wherefore in the Word there is an accurate distinction observed between “creating,” “forming,” and “making,” as was shown above in the second chapter, where it is said of the spiritual man made celestial that “God rested from all his work, which God created in making”; and in other passages also, to “create” relates to the spiritual man, and to “make,” that is, to perfect, to the celestial man. (See n. 16 and 88.)
