The First Choice - Adam and Eve

 Text: Genesis 1–3 (focus on Genesis 2:15–17; 3:1–24)

The story of Adam and Eve is the beginning of the Bible and the beginning of humanity. It teaches us who God is, who we are, and why the world needs God’s help and grace.

God Created Everything Good

God created the world, the animals, and finally Adam and Eve.

l They were made in God’s image

l They lived in the Garden of Eden

l They had everything they needed

l They walked and talked with God

 

God said His creation was very good.

Lesson: God created us with love and purpose. We are not accidents.

God’s One Command

God gave Adam and Eve freedom, but He gave one command:

“You must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.”

This command was not meant to hurt them—it was meant to protect them.

Lesson: God’s rules are for our good, even when we don’t fully understand them.

The Temptation

The serpent came and tempted Eve.

l He made her doubt God’s word

l He made sin look good and harmless

l Adam and Eve chose to disobey God

 

They ate the fruit and immediately felt shame and fear.

Lesson: Temptation often begins by making us doubt God and trust ourselves instead.

Sin Enters the World

After they sinned:

l They hid from God

l They blamed others

l Their relationship with God was broken

 

This is called the Fall—sin entering the world.

Lesson: Sin separates us from God and affects every part of life.

God’s Judgment and God’s Mercy

God punished Adam and Eve for their disobedience:

l Life became harder

l They were sent out of the garden

 

But God also showed mercy:

l He clothed them

l He promised a Savior who would defeat evil (Genesis 3:15)

Lesson: God is just, but He is also loving and merciful.

What This Story Teaches Us Today

God loves us and wants a relationship with us

l Disobedience has consequences

l God seeks us even when we hide

l God provides hope even after failure

l We all need a Savior

Conclusion

Adam and Eve made a wrong choice, but God did not give up on humanity. From the very beginning, God had a plan to rescue us through Jesus Christ.

When we fall, God calls out to us just like He did in the garden:

“Where are you?”

He invites us to come back to Him.

Closing Prayer

Lord, thank You for creating us and loving us. Help us to trust You and obey Your word. Thank You for Your mercy when we fail. Amen.

Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis summary

  "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis is a foundational Christian book that explains the core beliefs of Christianity in a clear and logical way. Originally based on a series of radio talks, Lewis avoids theological complexity and focuses on universal principles shared by most Christian denominations. It’s aimed at both believers and skeptics, offering a reasoned argument for faith. 1. The Moral Law and God’s Existence Lewis begins by arguing that all humans have an inherent sense of right and wrong, which he calls the "Moral Law." This universal moral sense points to the existence of a moral God who created the universe. The Moral Law isn’t a product of human culture or instinct but something deeper and universal. 2. What Christians Believe Christianity asserts that Jesus is the Son of God who came to Earth to save humanity. Humanity is flawed and sinful, but through Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross, people can be reconciled with God. Lewis emphasizes that Christianit...
