Jr. Tree of Life Creation
Respect Part: 1
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
“For by Him, all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible.” Colossians 1:16a.
Some people think that they were once monkeys, and that the earth exploded into existence. This is a lie from Satan and his group of fallen angels. They want people to think that God doesn’t exist.
God always tells the truth. He is veracity. That is why it’s so important to learn Bible Doctrine every day, so that you can tell the difference between a truth and a lie. God’s words are written down in the Bible.
Genesis 1-2-Time Period-Eternity Past Age of the Gentiles
God made the Heavens and the earth and everything in it. He painted beautiful sunrises and clouds to look like cartoon characters. He made trees that wave to us in the breeze, and cabbages that look kind of like
leafy bowling balls.
Only He knows why ducks quack and swim, and why tigers are painted with stripes. He made snakes with diamonds on their backs and caterpillars that change into butterflies. What a wonderful imagination God has!
Isn’t it amazing that spiders can walk on ceilings, and kangaroos have pockets to carry their babies around? God even thought of a way to light up the skies without lamps when He made the sun, moon and twinkling stars.
I bet God must have had a good laugh when He decided to make a man named Adam out of dust. God gave him soul life when He breathed into him the breath of life. He even gave Adam a human spirit so he could learn Bible Doctrine.
“Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.” Genesis 2:7
Adam could think, make his own choices, and trust. God placed Adam in a beautiful garden, called Eden, and gave him the job of naming all of the animals and tending to the garden. He taught him Bible Doctrine every day and made one rule: Not to eat from the “Tree of Knowledge
of Good and Evil,” or he would die. Adam could say “yes” to God or “no” to God. What will he decide to do? We will find out next week.
God is your authority. He knows what is best. He wants you to say yes and obey Him so that you will be happy. This shows respect.
When you say no to God, then you are miserable.
God created you and gave you parents. It’s your job to say yes to them. When you do, that means you respect their authority. God gave them the job of teaching you right from wrong so that you will be a responsible adult.
You have many people in your life to respect. When your teacher is giving you a spelling lesson, you need to be quiet and listen. This shows respect. When you do this, you are saying yes to God. God also wants you to respect your coaches, the police and the President of the United States.
It’s never ok to steal shoes, clothing, candy or gum from a store, or to throw rocks and break out windows. If you do this, you aren’t showing respect, and you are saying no to God. When you break the law, the police can arrest you and put you in jail. This would be saying no to God.
When you say no to God, you need to privately tell God the Father the bad things you think, do, or say. This is sometimes called rebound or confessing your sins.
