In the beginning, God created

the heavens and the Earth….

(Genesis 1:1)
GOD …in 6 days, He created light, and the waters and
the trees, and all the animals of the air and sea…
…and God saw that it was good.
(Genesis 1)
GOD
. . . in His perfect time . . . He created . . . . .
GOD MAN
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 foul of the air, and over the cattle, and
over all the earth… (Genesis 1:25)
GOD MAN LIFE

“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” (Genesis 2:7)
GOD MAN LIFE
And Man – male and female – were
created perfect . . . to live forever in
God’s loving care and fellowship . As
with His Angels, God created Man
with a free will . . . Man could choose
to love and serve God willingly . . . Or
they could choose to yield to the
temptation and lies of Satan, the
chief of the Fallen Angels.
Since God did not want a race of
mindless robots, God tested Man’s
obedience in their Garden of Eden
home by placing the tree of
knowledge of good and evil in the
garden...
Who would Man choose to follow ?
GOD MAN LIFE
Man was soon tempted . . .
and choose to follow the lies
of Satan. All Man’s
perfection was now gone . . .
as was their beautiful Garden
of Eden home. In its place
was the guilt and shame and
misery of . . . . .

of the Son of God so that you may know that you
have eternal life.
(1 John 5:13)
“but these have been written so that you
may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the
Son of God; and that believing you may
have life in His name”
(John 20:31)
 And we know that the Son of God has
come, and has given us understanding so
that we may know Him who is true; and we
are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus
Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
(1 John 5:20)
