Adam And Eve In The Garden of Eden Bible Story
Adam And Eve In The Garden of Eden Bible Story
God called him Adam.
The Lord made a beautiful garden for him to live in. The garden, called Eden, was full of many wonderful things. Beautiful flowers grew everywhere. Birds sang in the trees, streams flowed through the valley and animals roamed across the fields.
God had made the man in His image to keep Him company and look after the world.
God brought all the animals to Adam one at a time to be given their names. "Elephant", he would say, or "Tiger", or "Porcupine".
But God felt sorry for Adam. "None of these animals is really like him," thought God, "he needs someone to share his life.
Someone who cares for him and who he can care for." That night, God took a rib from Adam's side and made a woman.
When Adam awoke the following morning, he found a wife, Eve, lying asleep beside him. Adam was so happy. He took her hand and she woke up. She looked up at him and smiled. God put Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden to care and nurture the land.
He told Adam and Eve that they could eat from any fruit from the trees except for the tree of good and evil. God warned them that if they ate from the tree they would die.
One day Satan came disguised as a snake and spoke to Eve, convincing her to eat the fruit from the tree of good and evil.
Eve told the serpent that God said they should not eat it and they would die if they did, but Satan tempted Eve to eat saying that she would become like God if she did.
Eve believed the lie and took a bite of the fruit. She then gave some to Adam for him to eat.
Adam and Eve, now knowing that they had sinned, immediately felt ashamed and tried to hide from God.
