n the beginning, there was God.
+
God is a Family and is made up of
+
two Beings. One is God the Father
+
and the other is the Word. God had
+
a plan to reproduce Himself.
+
Through much design, His plan
+
began with the creation of angels,
+
heaven and earth. The earth was
+
beautiful and full of life.
+
After millions of years, there was
+
trouble with some of the angels.
+
This caused great problems on earth

+
and it became a very dark, dead
+
place, covered in water.
+
God then decided to create
+
human beings. If they obeyed Him,
+
these beings would eventually be
+
born into the God Family. Human
+
beings needed a home, so God
+
recreated the earth.
+
Re-creation of Earth
+
God created the earth by telling the
+
Word what should be done. The
+
Word obeyed and completed His
+
work through the power of God’s
+
Holy Spirit.
+
The earth was covered with thick
+
clouds. On the first day of creation
+
God caused the dark clouds to go
+
away. Once again, the earth felt the
+
warm sunshine after a long time
+
without it. This also caused night to
+
be dark and daytime to be bright.
+
Look down at your chest. What
+
is it doing? As it moves up and
+
down, you are breathing air. On the
+
second day, God created the air that
+
is needed for life. This air was clean
+
and had many big white clouds. The
+
air covered the earth like a giant
+
bubble.

+
The next step in God’s creation
+
was to make land. On the
+
third day, God separated the dry
+
land from the water. He called
+
the land Earth and the water
+
became the oceans, lakes and
+
rivers. But this dry land was
+
empty. So God created grasses,
+
plants and trees to cover the
+
earth.
+
On the fourth day, God let the
+
sun, moon and stars shine bright.
+
He did this by removing the last
+
of the dark clouds, gases and
+
dust. The moon and stars were
+
for night and the sun was for
+
day.
+
On the fifth day, God filled
+
the oceans with life. Fish,
+
sharks, whales and other sea
+
creatures were created. God also
+
filled the sky with every flying
+
creature. On this day, God created
+
all the birds that you see.
+
God blessed these animals.
+
This allowed both the water and
+
air animals to multiply and fill
+
all the earth.
+
The dry land still had no animals.
+
On the sixth day, God
+
filled the earth with every creature.
+
He created lions, bears,
+
squirrels, horses, and cows. He
+
DAY 4
+
DAY 5
+
also created reptiles
+
like snakes
+
and lizards. The
+
land was filled
+
with all kinds of
+
animals.
+
On the sixth
+
day, God also created
+
man from the
+
dust of the
+
ground. God
+
made man in the
+
same form as
+
Himself. Humans
+
have eyes and ears—
+
and so does God! God
+
put men on a level
+
greater than all the animals
+
in the sea, land or
+
air. Man was in charge
+
of all of these animals.
+
The first man was
+
Adam.
+
God made a special
+
place for Adam to live.
+
This place was the
+
beautiful Garden of
+
Eden. God gave Adam
+
the job of naming all of
+
the creatures on earth.
+
Adam obeyed and listened
+
to his Creator. He
+
named all the birds, all
+
LEVEL 2 / LESSON 1 4

5 CHILDREN’S BIBLE LESSON
+
the land animals and all the fish in
+
the sea.
+
Yet Adam was lonely. He was created
+
on a higher level than all the animals.
+
He wanted company. God saw
+
that Adam was
+
alone and He
+
knew what Adam
+
needed. God
+
caused Adam to
+
fall into a deep
+
sleep. He then
+
took a rib from
+
Adam and created
+
a woman from it.
+
When Adam
+
awoke, God gave
+
this woman to
+
him. He was very
+
happy to see a
+
friend and a mate.
+
Her name was
+
Eve.
+
God also
+
blessed Adam and
+
Eve. He told them
+
to start a family
+
by having children.
+
In time, He
+
wanted their children
+
to fill the
+
earth. God put
+
man in charge of
+
all the creatures of the earth and all
+
the fruit of the trees and plants.
+
God looked at all that He had
+
made. He saw the sun, moon, stars,
+
air, land, sea, fish, birds and animals.
+
He also saw the first man and
+
woman. And He said, “All I have
+
created is very good.”
+
The earth was complete. But
+
God was not done with creating.
+
The Sabbath
+
On the seventh day, God created
+
something very special. After six
+
days of hard work, God created a
+
day of rest and called it the Sabbath.
+
He rested on this day and He commanded
+
man to also rest on this day.
+
God made this a law: Man is to
+
work six days a week, but on the last
+
day of the week, man must rest. God
+
set the seventh day as the Sabbath
+
forever. That is why we keep the
+
Sabbath today.
+
God created this day because
+
He knows what is best for man. He
+
knows man must take time to rest,
+
to listen to God and to learn from
+
Him. Every Sabbath, God wants us
+
to learn more of His laws and way
+
of life. God taught Adam and Eve
+
on this day.
+
Adam and Eve lived in the beautiful
+
Garden of Eden. There were
+
two unusual trees in the garden. One
+
tree was called the Tree of Life. God
+
told Adam and Eve that they could
+
eat the fruit from that tree anytime.
+
And if they ate from this tree, they
+
would live forever.
+
God also planted another tree, the
+
tree of the knowledge of good and
+
evil. God told Adam and Eve that
+
LEVEL 2 / LESSON 1 6
+
7 CHILDREN’S BIBLE LESSON
+
they could not eat of this tree. If
+
they ate its fruit, they would die.
+
God was serious. He knew what
+
was best for Adam and Eve. He
+
loved them and He gave them a
+
choice.
+
In the Garden of Eden, there was
+
another being. This being was once
+
a great angel, but he became evil.
+
He hated God’s laws and His way.
+
His name was Satan, and in the
+
Garden, he appeared in the form of
+
a serpent.
+
One day, Satan came to Eve. He
+
asked her if there was any tree that
+
she could not eat from. She replied
+
that she could not eat of the tree of
+
the knowledge of good and evil.
+
Because Satan hated God, he tried
+
to get Eve to not listen to God’s loving
+
commandment.
+
Eve ignored what
+
God had taught her.
+
She disobeyed God
+
and chose to listen
+
to Satan. Eve ate the
+
fruit of the wrong
+
tree. She made a
+
very big mistake.
+
She asked Adam to
+
eat of the same tree.
+
He disobeyed God
+
and ate of the tree of
+
knowledge, too.
+
This was a big
+
event for man. God
+
had taught Adam
+
and Eve His laws but
+
they disobeyed. By
+
eating this fruit, they
+
decided to choose
+
for themselves what
+
is right and what is
+
wrong. When we disobey,
+
there is certain
+
punishment we must
+
face.
+
Soon after, God
+
was walking in the
+
Garden looking for
+
Adam and Eve.
+
Adam and Eve were
+
very afraid because
+
they knew they had
+
broken God’s law.
+
They were hiding
+
from God.
+
God asked, “Have
+
you eaten of the tree of the knowledge
+
of good and evil?” Adam
+
quickly said it was Eve who made
+
him do it. Eve said it was Satan who
+
made her do it.
+
This made God very upset. He
+
punished Adam and Eve. He had no
+
other choice. God’s law is a wonderful
+
law, but when we disobey
+
God, it is called sin. Sin brings punishment.
+
God made Adam and Eve leave
+
the Garden of Eden because they
+
sinned. He also put two great angels
+
at the entrance to the garden so man
+
could never enter. Adam and Eve
+
were forced to build a family, work
+
and live in a hard land.
+
Cain and Abel
+
Adam and Eve had two sons. One
+
was named Cain and the other Abel.
+
Cain grew up and became a farmer.
+
He grew many vegetables and
+
fruits. Abel grew up and became a
+
shepherd. He looked after sheep.
+
Both Cain and Abel were commanded
+
to give an offering to God.
+
Abel gave his best lamb, which God
+
liked very much. Cain gave an
+
offering of fruit and vegetables. But
+
God did not like this offering
+
because Cain’s attitude was bad.
+
Cain was very jealous of his
+
brother and became very angry with
+
him.
+
LEVEL 2 / LESSON 1 8
+
9 CHILDREN’S BIBLE LESSON
+
One day in the field, Cain was
+
alone with his brother Abel. Because
+
he was angry and full of hate, he
+
killed Abel. Cain saw the horrible
+
thing he did and he tried to hide.
+
God came and asked, “Where is
+
your brother Abel?” Cain did not
+
answer correctly. God punished
+
Cain for his great sin. Cain moved
+
far away from the rest of his family.
+
During this time, Adam and Eve
+
began to have more children and the
+
earth slowly filled with human
+
beings.
