The First Human Beings ( Genesis 1.26-31 ; 2.4-7,18-23)

The First Human Beings 
( Genesis 1.26-31 ; 2.4-7,18-23)

At that time there were no people on the earth. God wanted to create someone who would be like him, just as you are probably like your mother or father. So he made the first person.

He took a handful of sand dust,made a figure and blew on it,then created a life that was the first man.In God's hand this first man was made and he was like God.God named him "Adam",which means " Mankind"
                                    
                                    *(example picture of Adam)*


God brought all the different kinds of animals to Adam and told him they could be named whatever he wanted them to be named.So he called one a butterfly and another a monkey.He named the birds everything from flamingo to pheasant.

When Adam finished naming every single creature on earth, God saw that the animals were not able to be Adam's special friend.

So while Adam slept God took a part of Adam and with that part he made someone like Adam but  different.She was the first women.When Adam woke up he was very happy because now there is someone just like him,someone who could be his friend and helper.But she did not have a name yet.

                   *(example picture of Adam and Eve)*


When God finished making Adam and the women,he was pleased. He decided he would rest for one day, and bless all that he had made. That is why there is one day in every week that God has set aside for us to take a brake from work and enjoy the good things he has given to each of us.
