Jesse Tree: The Story of Adam and Eve


Genesis also tells the story of Adam and Eve and the beautiful Garden of Eden where they lived.  God's own breath had given life to Adam and Eve.  Fruit trees in the garden provided food, and they lived without having to work.  They were very happy.  But a sneaky serpent tempted them to disobey God.  One tree grew fruit God had forbidden them to eat, but the serpent told them it was the most delicious fruit in the garden, and besides, if they ate it they would gain knowledge of good and evil, and be just like God.  So they ate the fruit.  They knew right away that they had done a very bad thing--and so did God.  Because of their disobedience, God made them leave the Garden of Eden.  

Genesis 2:4-3:24
