The Choice in the Garden
God gave Adam and Eve a beautiful garden and a clear instruction. The serpent questioned what God said. Adam and Eve chose to disobey.
Remember: Yes. We need God’s wisdom, not just our feelings.
God gave Adam and Eve a beautiful garden and a clear instruction. The serpent questioned what God said. Adam and Eve chose to disobey.
Remember: Yes. We need God’s wisdom, not just our feelings.
The serpent tried to make God’s command sound unfair. When we start doubting God’s goodness, a wrong choice can begin to look right.
Remember: Questions are welcome. Listen carefully to Scripture and wise guidance.
After disobeying, Adam and Eve felt ashamed and hid. Their choices affected their relationship with God and each other.
Remember: God calls us to honesty and repentance, not hiding.
In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed, “Not my will, but thine, be done.” Where Adam disobeyed, Jesus obeyed the Father. Jesus is our Savior and example.
Remember: God’s will is wiser than my wishes.
