In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. He made everything in six days. The earth, water, light, and the firmament/heaven. God made the grass, the seeds, the herbs, trees, and fruit. God made so many good things. In fact, everything that God made was good. God made the sun, the moon, and the stars. He made the beasts, the animals--the cattle, the creeping thing, and the beast of the field. And God also made man. God made man in his own image-- Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. The Bible gives us some more information on the creation of the first man, Adam; he was made from the dust of the ground-- Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. GOD PLANTED A GARDEN IN EDEN AND PUT THE MAN, ADAM, THERE. God planted a garden eastward in Eden and he put Adam there. Genesis 2:8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. In Eden, the Lord made trees to grow out of the ground--every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food. The garden of Eden must have been very beautiful. God also made the tree of life to grow in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Genesis 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Plants need water so that they can grow and thrive. God made a river to go forth out of Eden to water the garden . That river became into four heads or rivers. The Bible tells us the names of those ancient rivers (see Genesis 2:10-14)-- The Pison river, The Gihon river (which may be the Nile River in Africa), The Hiddekel river (which may be the Tigris located in the region of modern day Iraq), and The river Euphrates which is still called by the same name today and is located in the middle east in the area of Iraq. These are very old and ancient things that we are talking about and things that are very exciting to know about and to think about and to remember. God put the man that he had formed in the garden of Eden. The man's name was Adam. God gave Adam everything he needed. Genesis 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. God gave Adam a command. He told Adam that Adam could eat freely of every tree of the garden. Adam had plenty that he could eat. But God told Adam that there was one tree that he was not to eat of--the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God told Adam that in the day that Adam ate of that tree, Adam would surely die. Genesis 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. GOD MADE A WOMAN TO BE WITH ADAM, HER NAME WAS EVE Adam was alone. Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. God made a woman to be with Adam, to be his wife. Adam named his wife, Eve (see Genesis 3:20). The Bible tells us how God made Eve-- Genesis 2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. Adam and Eve were the first people that ever lived on the earth. Adam was the first man and Eve was the very first woman. God made a perfect world for them to live in. God blessed Adam and Even and he gave them good instructions, too, so that they would know what to do on the earth. Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have domin
