On the sixth day of creation, God made the first people: Adam and Eve. Though people were made on the same day as the land animals, the Bible says that God made mankind in his image, which makes them so much more than animals. In fact, God put mankind in charge of all the animals. God wanted people to take care of all that He made. They lived in the Garden of Eden, a paradise where they walked with God. But Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s only rule. And because of that choice, sin entered the world, and mankind was kicked out of the garden. Every one of us makes that same choice, and every one of us has been separated from God. But, through Jesus’ death and resurrection, we can be with God again, like we were always meant to be, if we just believe in Jesus Christ. There is so much that we can learn from the story of Adam and Eve.
Bible Verses:
- Genesis 1:26-28 – God makes mankind in His image
- Genesis 2:4-3:24 – Adam and Eve
- John 3:16 – God’s plan for our sin
Family Time Questions:
- How are people different from animals?
- What was the one thing that Adam and Eve were not supposed to do?
- Do we ever sin?
- How can we be with God again?
Prayer:
“Dear God, thank You for making us and for making a way for us to be with You again through Your Son, Jesus. Please help us to honor You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
