Adam & Eve
The First People in the Garden
The Story
Genesis 2-3
God made a perfect garden called Eden and placed Adam there to take care of it. The garden had every beautiful plant and fruit tree you could imagine!
God saw Adam was lonely, so He made Eve to be his partner and best friend. They lived happily together in the garden, walking and talking with God.
But one day, a sneaky snake told Eve she should eat fruit from the one tree God said not to touch. Even though God had given them everything, Eve and Adam chose to disobey.
Their choice had consequences — they had to leave the beautiful garden. But even then, God still loved them and had a plan to make things right someday.
What Can We Learn?
Obedience Matters
God gives us rules because He loves us and wants what is best for us.
Sin Has Consequences
When we make wrong choices, there are always consequences.
God Still Loves Us
Even when we mess up, God still loves us and has a plan!
Choices Are Important
Every day we choose to obey or disobey God. Choose wisely!
Memory Verse
“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.”
John 3:16 (NLT)
