Disobeys for a Fruit ( Genesis 3.1-6 )

Disobeys for a Fruit
 ( Genesis 3.1-6 )

Of all the animals in Eden there was one craftier than the rest. That was the serpent. One day the serpent crept towards the woman and teased her. " Can you eat fruit from all the trees?" the serpent asked.

" Oh, yes!" the women replied. " We can eat fruit from every tree but one. God has warned me and Adam that if we eat fruit which comes from the tree in the middle of the garden we will die."

The Serpent laughed at her. " You will not die! God just says you shouldn't eat from that tree because he doesn't want you to be like him and be able to tell good from bad."


                                      *( example of Eve and the serpent )*




































After the serpent said this to her, the women did not know what she should do. She walked over to the tree in the middle of the garden and looked up. The fruit did not look bad at all. She thought about disobeying God. She knew she had a choice to make. God had given her freedom to choose whether to obey or disobey. So the women chose, she chose to disobey God.

                          *( example picture of Eve and the forbidden fruit)*


She picked a piece of fruit and took a bite. Then she brought a fruit to Adam and asked him to eat as well. When they both had taken a bite they suddenly knew that they had been bad to disobey God...
