Biography
Genesis 1-2
In the beginning, God created the world in six days. On the sixth day, He made the first man, Adam, from the dust of the earth and breathed life into him. Adam lived in a beautiful garden called the Garden of Eden, filled with trees, flowers, and animals. However, God saw that Adam was lonely and decided to create a companion for him.
So, while Adam was sleeping, God took one of his ribs and created a woman named Eve. When Adam awoke and saw Eve, he was very happy because she was his perfect partner. God told them they could enjoy everything in the garden but warned them not to eat from one specific tree, the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
The Temptation
One day, a crafty serpent approached Eve and questioned God’s command. The serpent suggested that eating the fruit from the forbidden tree would make them wise like God. Curious and tempted, Eve decided to eat the fruit and gave some to Adam, who also ate it.

As soon as they tasted the fruit, they realized they had disobeyed God and felt shame for the first time. They tried to hide from God among the trees, but He called out to them. When confronted, Adam blamed Eve, and Eve blamed the serpent.
The Consequences
Because they disobeyed God, Adam and Eve had to leave the Garden of Eden. God explained that life outside the garden would be difficult; they would have to work hard for food and experience pain. Despite their disobedience, God still loved them and promised that one day, He would provide a way to restore their relationship with Him.
