Story 3a: Adam and Eve

Genesis 2:7-3:24

The Bridge: When God created man, He made his body out of dust and breathed life (his soul) into him. God had fellowship with this man and put him in a beautiful garden called Eden.

The Story:

• God made a man, who was called “Adam” (Genesis 2:20, 3:17), and He met with him daily.
• God told Adam that he could eat anything he wanted in the garden except the fruit from the “Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.” He also gave Adam a warning: On the day he ate the fruit, he would die. (Genesis 2:16-17)
• God noticed that it was not good for Adam to be alone, so He created Eve. God put Adam in a deep sleep, took one of his ribs and made Eve. (Genesis 2:18-25). Adam and Eve were living in the garden, in fellowship with God each day, and were very happy

Why did God create mankind?
