Adam and Eve Genesis 2:1-5-22; 3:20

·        God named the first man Adam.

·        God put Adam in a beautiful garden.

·        He gave him all the animals. He gave him all the fish and the birds too.

·        Then  God gave Adam one more thing.

·        God made a woman to be Adam's wife.

·        Adam named his wife Eve. On day seven God rested from all His work.

The Sneaky Snake Genesis 2:16-17; 3:1-6

·        God gave Adam and Eve one rule. "Eat anything you like except the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden."

·        A sneaky old snake came to Eve. "Eat it then you'll know everything just like God."

·        So Eve ate the fruit and gave some to Adam. And He ate it too. When we disobey God, it's called sin. There are always consequences when we disobey.

Out of the Garden  Genesis 3:8-24

·        One evening God came to visit Adam and Eve;   however, they were hiding. When God found them He asked. "What have you done?" Adam told God  everything. God was sad.

·        Because they had disobeyed God, Adam and Eve had to leave the beautiful garden.

·        When they were outside of the garden, Adam and Eve had to work very hard to grow food.

·        It makes God very sad when we disobey. It makes our parents sad too

*In addition, When you talk back  to your parents or fight with your friends, you can ask God to forgive you. And He will. The Bible gives us much good news about God. It teaches  us that He is full of forgiveness. What is Disobedience? Sin against God. God invites us to seek Him. We must turn our sin. We must go to Him for forgiveness when we disobey Him.  God wants us to know Him personally the way families and very best friends know one another. Best of all God promises that those who truly seek Him will know Him.
