1 Genesis 1:31, God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day. Genesis 1:1, In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth God created the world in six days. First He separated things into Light/Darkness (day 1); Waters above/waters below (day 2); Land/Sea and plantation (day 3). Then He filled the spaces with: Sun, moon and stars (day 4); Birds and sea creatures (day 5); Land creatures and human beings (day 6). Knowing that God is the One who made all things means that He has authority over us, and we ought to listen to what He says. C BC Adam and Eve in a perfect world

2 God promised a Saviour from the awful consequences of sin The Lamb of God would be slain for the sins of the world. Adam and Eve were not to eat from the tree in the middle of the garden. To break this rule would result in death BC They tried to blame God for their sin. Genesis 3:12 The man said, The woman You put here with me

3 Genesis 4:3-5, As time passed, it happened that Cain brought an offering to Yahweh from the fruit of the ground. Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. Yahweh respected Abel and his offering, but he didn t respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell. Abel 3200 BC Cain Genesis 4:6-8, Yahweh said to Cain, Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen? If you do well, will it not be lifted up? If you don t do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it. Cain said to Abel, his brother, Let s go into the field. It happened when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.
