The first people created by God had everything they could want. There was plenty of food in the Garden of Eden, and the weather was warm so they had no need for shelter or clothing. The rivers in the Garden provided plenty of water, and the Bible says a mist watered the plants each night. They could play with the animals, enjoy the flowers, and walk with God in the cool of the evening.
God had given them only one restriction: “Do not eat from the tree in the middle of the garden. You may eat freely from any of the many other trees.”
I wonder how long it took them to break this restriction? They were doing fine until the serpent came along and started to question God. His questions put doubt and envy in Eve’s mind, and when she gave in to temptation she drew Adam into the same sin. Their choice, as always, had consequences, and the whole world suffered because of their sin.
That’s what we’ll be learning about this Sunday. Come join us as we learn why there is poison ivy, mosquitos, disease, hurricanes, earthquakes, as well as all kinds of human sin. The Bible says that all creation is fallen from the state God created it (“It was good” ) because of Adam and Eve’s decision to disbey God.
This would be a great week to bring a friend.
