the CREATION

The Bible begins with these words, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1; NIV).

God’s Word gives us the entire creation story including how the first two persons, Adam and Eve, were created and placed in a beautiful garden where all their needs were met.

The Bible says, “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27; NIV).

Adam and Eve were free to enjoy everything in the garden, except for one thing. God’s instructions were clear about one tree. They must not eat its fruit.

Life was wonderful until Adam and Eve did the one thing they were told not to do. We call that sin!
