Jr. Tree of Life Creation: Part 2
Adam and the Woman Disobey
Before you begin this Bible study, If you have never believed in Jesus Christ as your Savior, John 3:16 tells us: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have eternal life.” Simply have faith that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins, and you will have eternal life and be saved. If you have believed in Jesus Christ as your Savior, then 1 John 1:9 tells us: “If you confess your sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Simply, privately tell God the Father your sins to be filled with God the Holy Spirit and He will teach you Bible truth.

Promise Memory Verse
“Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted.” Romans 13:2a
Genesis 2:7-3:7-Time Period-Age of the Gentiles God created Adam, who was the first man,
out of dust, and breathed the breath of life into him. Can you imagine anyone else who has the power, wisdom and humor to take a dust bunny and make a living person?
Adam had a soul and a human spirit. He didn’t have an old sin nature like we do. God taught him Bible Doctrine every day. God placed Adam in a beautiful garden, called Eden. Adam didn’t need a winter coat, or an umbrella, because the weather was perfect
there.
God gave Adam the job of naming all of the animals. There was only one rule that God made for him to follow: Do not to eat from the “Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.” God never told us what kind of fruit this tree had growing from its branches.
One day, God decided to make Adam a helper. He put Adam into a deep sleep, and took one of his ribs, and created a beautiful woman. She had a soul and a human spirit, and no old sin nature. God gave her the same rule as He gave Adam.
There was an evil, sneaky serpent in the Garden of Eden, who was really Satan in disguise. He wanted the woman to disobey God, so he came up with a plan to trick her into eating fruit from the forbidden tree.
When Satan saw the woman, he talked from inside the serpent, and asked her if God made a rule that said she couldn’t eat from any tree in the garden. She told him that God only told her that she couldn’t eat or touch the tree in the middle of the garden.
Satan is the father of all lies. He lied to the
woman and told her that she wouldn’t die if she ate the fruit, and that if she ate it, she would be just as smart as God.
The woman believed Satan, and she disobeyed God and ate the fruit. She even gave some to Adam, who ate it as well. Both Adam and the
woman said no to God by sinning. They didn’t obey or respect God. They are now known as the first sinners.
Oh no! Guess what happened? They lost the human spirit that God had given them. Now they had old sin natures living in their bodies and a soul, and they understood what sin was. Next week, we will see what happens. This is called the fall of man.
Last week, we learned that we all have to respect and obey God. He wants kids to respect and obey their parents, teachers, coaches, police, and others in authority over them.
You may hear from your teacher about something called, The Theory of Evolution. Theories are just guesses. They are not truth that we always hear from God. He is veracity.
The Bible is God’s Word, and it tells you to obey.
When your teacher is wrong, you still have to respect them. It would be wrong to jump up and start yelling at your teacher and call them a liar. This would show disrespect to them, which is never ok to do.
If you act like Adam and the woman, and don’t obey, you need to make sure that you tell God the Father privately what you have done wrong.
