God says, we must not eat it or touch it, or we will die.”
Bible Readings
God created Adam & Eve. He told them not to eat the fruit from a certain tree.
The devil tricked Adam & Eve and told them to eat the fruit anyways! Eve ate, and then Adam did too.
God told them they had to leave the Garden of Eden. God still loved them and cared for them.

Adam & Eve
We don’t have to convince anybody that there is sin in the world.
There is a right way and a wrong way.
There was a tree in the center of the garden.
The tree of knowledge of good and evil.
The fruit of the tree - was consumed by Adam & Eve.

Genesis 2:16
But the LORD God gave him this warning:
“You may freely eat any fruit in the garden
except fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
If you eat of its fruit, you will surely die.”
They ate it -
and a part of them changed -
they started to die.
This is sin.
Death.
For Adam & Eve:
Spirit - their heart-thoughts and mind was moving away from God.
Body - with their body, they acted out their choice.
Soul - breathing and heart pumping blood would eventually cease for them - and their life would end in death.
Their SPIRIT
felt shame,
they hid from God
they blamed others
their future had changed.
Genesis 3:9
The LORD God called to Adam,
“Where are you?”
God knew, but the relationship He had with had now changed.
Freedom
Rules
Consequences
“Where are you?”, right now?
There is a force at work that wants to keep you away from God!
A deceptive enemy that is trying to keep you away from your Creator.
Everyday we follow things, listen to things, and bow down to things.
How do you choose to spend your time?
Your money?
These answers reveal your relationship with God, and what’s most important to you.
God loved Adam & Eve even after they had sinned.
Genesis 3:21
“And the LORD God made clothing
from animal skins for Adam and his wife.”
He loves you, and He waits for you!
He has sent His own son - Jesus -
Jesus says, come to me just as you are!
Get to know me!
