A big mistake
Genesis 3
Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden.
They were very happy. God told Adam and Eve that they must obey Him. He told them that
they could eat any food from the garden, but they must never eat the fruit from one tree. They were sad. God said, "Now that you have done wrong, you cannot be in my
beautiful garden. You must go from here. You will not be so happy. This is because you did
not obey me.
God sent a good angel to the garden. The angel had a sword. No one could go into the
garden from now on. This was a very sad day. The world was now a place of sadness and sin.
Adam and Eve were not happy. The animals were not happy.
God was very sad because people could no longer be with Him. God made a plan. He planned
to send His Son Jesus, to die on the cross and to forgive us for our sin. If we ask Jesus
to forgive us for our sin, and if we ask Him to be our friend, then we can be with God,
just like Adam and Eve were once with God in the Garden of Eden.
