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.

God told Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit of the tree of the "knowledge of good and evil". They did not listen to God's instruction and they found out good and evil.

Until then they only knew good. God created us different than all the rest of His creation we had the free will to choose what we did.

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.

The devil knew what God was talking about and it was not physical death but spiritual. The devil tricked them into eating the fruit of the tree that they were told not to eat of.

GENESIS 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

Now why did God put that tree there in the first place?

God created us in His image with the freedom to choose.

Why didn’t God just take care of it and give them another chance?

God would be infringing on our right to choose. If God did just give them a start over they would not have choice.

Why did God create man in the first place if He knew we were going to make the wrong choice?

He loved us and knew that Christ could take away our sin and make it as if we never sinned from before, now, and forever. When Jesus came down and sacrificed Himself for all we had the choice to choose Christ.

GENESIS 3:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

God loves you and wants the best for you. Here is a sample prayer, If you’re not saved ask God for salvation in Jesus Christ’s Name. Have faith in what your praying and you will be saved.

“God I know that I have sinned against you and am deserving of punishment. But Jesus Christ took the punishment that I deserve, so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven."

"Jesus Christ, with your help I place my trust in you for salvation, and I ask that you will forgive me of my sins. I thank you for your wonderful grace and forgiveness.”

Come and tell a Christian church you have asked for salvation and they will help you grow in Christ. Come to Sunday school you will find it to be a great reward.

Amen!!!
