Once sin entered the world with Adam ad Eve, it continued to infect others  God made Adam and Eve out of love in his image and likeness  They were to show their love by obeying his command  They disobeyed out of pride and original sin entered mankind Cain their first son was a ‘tiller of the soil” Abel their second son was a ‘keeper of flocks” Abel offered his best to God and Cain was envious Cain killed Abel out of anger

When God saw how great was man’s wickedness on earth…he regretted that he had made man… Genesis 6:5 …

But Noah found favor with God…so God told Noah to build an ark and bring two of each living animal……. Seven days from now, I will bring forth rain for forty days and forty nights
