Adam & Eve’s Story
Genesis 1:26-28 KJV “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”
In the beginning The Most High Yahweh created all of heaven and all of earth, and all of the things and animals to fill the earth. Then he did something miraculous and wonderful, he created Adam and Eve and he created them in his likeness. Before The Heavenly Father created Adam and Eve he created all of the animals of the earth. From the ocean came the all of the sea animal and from land came all of the creeping things. Everything the Lord created he looked to something to create the next thing, but with Adam the Lord did not look to anything but he looked to himself and then he formed Adam. After Adam was created the Lord instantly started teaching Adam, and showing him around the Garden of Eden. The Lord told Adam that everything in the garden he could have, and there was nothing kept from him except the tree of knowledge. Adam was told not to eat of the tree of good and evil and all would be well. Then Adam was given the task of naming all of the animals. This lead Adam to realize something, that he did not have a partner. After he realized this he began to desire a partner for himself, and this is when The Lord puts Adam into a deep sleep. Eve was then formed from a part of Adam, creating the first humans and they were anointed with The Heavenly Father’s covering. And for a little while Adam and Eve lived peacefully in the garden.
Genesis 3:2-6 KJV “And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.”
Adam and Eve did not live in the garden very long before they were tested. Into the garden came a serpent to provoke Eve and test her loyalty. And the serpent began to ask Eve about the tree of knowledge. The serpent was actually the devil coming to try Eve and get her to fall to his order. The devil wanted dominion over the entire earth because it was given to Adam and Eve to rule in partnership with The Most High Yahweh. The devil did not want that to happen so he came up with a plan to get them to fall and dis-obey The Most High Yahweh, and he chose to try Eve. What the devil did to Eve is something that we are taught about once you become Christian. The devil likes to question the word to your knowledge and make you doubt in The Heavenly Father, causing you to not trust in him and his word. This is dangerous because it causes a rift between us, his church, and The Heavenly Father. When the devil questioned Eve, she confirmed that she knew that they were not supposed to eat of the tree. Then he fed her a lie saying she will not surely die if she eats of the tree, calling God a liar. The Most High Yahweh cannot lie because it is against his very nature of who he is, all good and all righteousness and evil cannot dwell with him. So when Eve listened to the old serpent and ate of the forbidden fruit and Adam then ate of it too, this is what lead to their fall and their eyes were then opened. Of Corse this lead to them being cast out of the Garden of Eden and they were given punishments, including the old serpent.
But the Lord is kind and merciful. The Heavenly Father gave them grace and stayed with them even after they transgressed and hearkened to the serpent. He never left their side and stayed faithful, and made a way for them to come back home. Something that people do not realize, The Heavenly father never saw them as their fall or as their mistakes, he just saw them as his children that needed help. We all need help from The Heavenly Father in how to best follow him, so lets all pray and ask.
