神造天是为着地，造地是为着人。然后神造人，人是为着神，有灵可以接受神。男人豫表神这真正的宇宙丈夫，要为祂自己寻找一个妻子。
人造好以后，神说，“那人独居不好，我要为他造一个帮助者作他的补满。”（创二18）。虽然人是完全的，但不完整。正如人的头是完全的，但没有身体就不完整。男人是神那真正宇宙丈夫的豫表。神在没有得着祂正确的人之前，祂是孤单的。我们的神是永远完全的。但无论如何，没有教会祂不完整。没有教会，祂就像丈夫没有妻子，就像头没有身体。所以当神说亚当独居不好，意思就是说祂自己不完整，祂独居不好。亚当需要一个妻子，豫表并描述神需要一个补满。
神用土造了野地各样的走兽，和空中各样的飞鸟，并将这一切带到亚当面前（创二19）。亚当为各样活物起名之后，然而他竟找不到一个与他相配，作他补满的。
于是耶和华神从亚当肋旁取了一根肋骨，建造成一个女人，并将这女人带到亚当面前（创二22）。当亚当从沉睡中醒来，看见夏娃，他就说，“这次是我骨中的骨，我肉中的肉。”（创二23）。当他和夏娃联合的时侯，他们就成了一体，成了完整的一个。由此我们能看见，妻子夏娃是丈夫亚当的补满；亚当若没有夏娃就不完整。夏娃取自亚当又归给亚当，使他们二人能成为一体。夏娃如何是亚当的补满，教会照样是基督的补满。基督教中有许多东西不过是“马、牛、乌龟……”因为那些都不是出于基督，不能与基督相配。只有那由基督重生，凭基督活着的教会，才能与基督相配，并作祂的补满。

God said, It Is Not Good for the Man to be Alone – Gen. 2:18
God created the heavens for the sake of the earth, and He created the earth for the sake of man. Then God created man, and man was created for God, having a spirit that could receive God. Man is a type of God, the true universal Husband, who desires to find a wife for Himself.
After man was created, God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper as his counterpart” (Gen. 2:18). Although man was perfect, he was not complete. Just like a head is perfect but incomplete without a body, so man was perfect but not whole. Man is a type of God as the true universal Husband. Before God gains His proper counterpart, He is alone. Our God is eternally perfect, yet in a sense, He is not complete without the church. Without the church, He is like a husband without a wife, like a head without a body. Therefore, when God said that it was not good for Adam to be alone, He meant that He Himself was not complete — that it was not good for Him to be alone. Adam’s need for a wife signifies and portrays God’s own need for a counterpart.
God formed all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air out of the ground and brought them to Adam (Gen. 2:19). After Adam gave names to all the living creatures, he still could not find one that matched him and could be his counterpart. So Jehovah God took a rib from Adam’s side and built it into a woman, then brought her to Adam (Gen. 2:22). When Adam awoke from his deep sleep and saw Eve, he said, “This time this is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh” (Gen. 2:23). When Adam was joined to Eve, they became one flesh, a complete person. From this, we see that Eve as the wife was the counterpart and complement of Adam; Adam without Eve was incomplete. Eve was taken out of Adam and returned to Adam so that the two could become one. Just as Eve was the complement of Adam, the church is the complement of Christ.
In Christianity today, many things are just “horses, oxen, turtles…” — that is, things not of Christ, and therefore cannot match Christ. Only the church that is regenerated by Christ and lives by Christ can match Him and become His complement.
