Genesis 3
This is only the 3rd chapter in the entire Bible, and it's the spot where everything changes. Without what happens in this chapter, we wouldn't have needed the rest of the Bible!This is where Satan convinces Eve to eat fruit from the tree that will give her knowledge of good and evil. Adam eats the fruit too.
If Adam and Eve had not eaten the fruit, they would still be in the garden. Which means that all of their descendants would be in the garden. That means that we wouldn't be in a sinful, broken world.
As humans, we broke God's world. We messed it up, we tainted it. Adam and Eve were supposed to be able to stay in God's garden and just be in His presence. But we've been banished and can't reconcile that.
BUT God had a plan. He would send us a rescuer! We'll learn more about the rescuer later on in the Bible. It's a really awesome plan. I hope you'll enjoy seeing it unfold!
Genesis 4
This chapter is the story of some of the first two brothers in the world: Cain and Abel. Cain is jealous of Abel and kills him. Then God asks Cain where Abel is, and the truth comes out that Abel is dead.Do you notice in the conversation between Cain and God, that God is talking to Cain like another person? It's neat how God has what feels like an in-person relationship with Cain. It's like he's a friend that Cain knows, and they can walk around and talk to each other.
Do you ever feel like you have that kind of relationship with God? That you can just talk with him like a friend?
