8. CREATION

9. God made all things out of nothing: angels, sun, moon, stars, the earth with land and sea, plants and trees, fish, birds and animals. Genesis 1, Psalm 104, Isaiah 45:12, Job 38:4-7, John 1:1-3, Revelation 4:11, Hebrews 11:3.

10. God made the first man. Genesis 2:7

11. God put Man in a garden on earth. Genesis 2:8

12. God said: "You can eat the fruit from all trees in the garden." Genesis 2:16

15. God made Man and Woman to be like Himself. Genesis 1:27, Genesis 5:22

16. God walked with Man and Woman in the garden. God talked to Man and Woman. Genesis 1:28, Genesis 2:16-18, Genesis 3:8-9

17. THE FALL

18. Satan was an angel. The angel thought too much of himself. The angel wanted to be equal with God. Isaiah 14:9-17, 1Timothy 3:6

19. So God threw the angel out of heaven to earth. Isaiah 14:9-17, Revelation 12:7-9

20. Satan used a snake. Genesis 3:1. After the humans disobeyed God, God announces a curse on the snake as an animal (verse 14), and then goes on to speak to Satan (verse 15). We thus believe that Satan spoke to the woman through the snake: Genesis 3:13-15. There are several accounts in the Bible where Satan used people and animals, for instance: John 13:26-27, Matthew 16:23, Revelation 12:9, Revelation 20:2.

21. Satan talked to Woman through the snake. Genesis 3:1

22. Satan lied to Woman: "You can eat fruit from this tree. The tree gives knowledge about good and evil. You will not die. You will know good and evil. You will be like God." Genesis 3:4-5

23. Woman chose to obey Satan. Woman ate the fruit. Woman did not obey God. Woman sinned. Genesis 3:3-6, 1 John 3:4

24. Man was there with Woman. Woman gave the fruit to Man. Genesis 3:6

25. Man chose to obey Satan. Man ate the fruit. Man sinned. Genesis 3:6, Genesis 3:18

26. Then Man and Woman realised: "We did not obey God." Genesis 3:7

27. Man and Woman hid from God. But God found Man and Woman. Genesis 3:8-10

28. God said: "You did not obey Me." God told the Man, Woman and snake that they will struggle on earth and then die. Genesis 3:13-19

29. A war started between God and Satan. God promised that one day He will win the war. Genesis 3:11, 14-15

30. God sent Man and Woman out of the garden. Genesis 3:23

31. SIN AND JUDGEMENT
