Introduction
Throughout your life you will read many interesting books. Some books will teach you things. Other books will take you on imaginative adventures. And one book will show you God’s amazing plan for the world—and for you! The Bible tells the incredible story of God’s love for us.
God made everything, including human beings. Why? Because hewanted to share his love. He made usso that one day we will be with himin heaven. But God does not forceus to love him. Instead, he gave usfreedom. Sadly, with thatfreedom we’ve made some bad
decisions. Adam and Eve hurt humanity by sinning.
But hope is not lost! The Bible is full of heroes and heroines who have made the right decisions! Many men and women believed in God’s love for us and did brave and daring things to help others know God’s care for the world. Noah listens to God and learns how to build an ark to save his family and animals from a great flood. God tells Moses to use his staff to heal snake bites and to part the Red Sea. And God sends an angel to ask Mary if she will be the mother of Jesus, who came to save us!
This amazing story of God’s saving love is now part of each of our lives. Every time you read the Scriptures you meet God. Whether you read the stories in order or jump around, they each contain something important that God wants you to know. And in every story, we can hear God saying to each of us, over and over again: I love you!
Old Testament
Creation
Genesis 1 and 2
In the beginning there was nothing—not one thing! Only God existed. God made everything in the world out of nothing.
First God said, “Let there be light,” and then there was light! Then God made the sky, the sea, andthe earth. God made all kinds of treesand plants. Next God made the sun,the moon, and the stars. God saw thatit was good.
There were no living creatures in thewaters yet, so God made dolphins, whales,and fish of every kind. God also madebirds that fly in the sky. Then God made allsorts of land animals: cows, horses,kangaroos, and all the other wild and tameanimals too. And God saw that it was good.
God loved everything he had created, but he was not yetfinished. So God made the firstman, Adam. God put Adam incharge of all creation, even theanimals. Then God said, “Adamneeds a helper, so he will not bealone.” While Adam slept, God madethe first woman. When Adam awoke, hewas so happy. “There she is at last!” heexclaimed. He called the woman Eve. Godlooked at them and blessed them. And Godsaw that it was all very good.
These are the six days of creation. On theseventh day God finished his work andrested.
You made everything good, O God. Thank you for your gifts!
Adam and Eve in the Garden
Genesis 3
God loved Adam and Eve and placed them in a beautiful garden. In the garden everything wasperfect. There was no illness ordeath or sadness. Every eveningGod walked with the man andthe woman. God asked Adamand Eve to care for the gardenand its creatures. God also
told them that they could eat fruit from all the trees except for one. They were not to eat fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden. “If you eat it,” God said, “you will die.”
Every day Adam and Eve talked to God and walked with him. They were very happy.
One day the serpent approachedEve. “Did God really tell you not toeat the fruit from this tree?” heasked.
“We can eat from every tree inthe garden except this one,” sheanswered. “If we eat its fruit, we will die!”
“That’s not true,” the serpent lied. “If you eat this fruit, you will knoweverything, just like God does.You will be like God!”
Eve chose to listen to the serpent and to disobey God. She took some of the fruit, ate it, and gave some to Adam. He also ate it. Adam and Eve both disobeyed God. At that moment they realized that they were not wearing any clothes.
When God came to visit them, they were ashamed and hid themselves. God already knew they had sinned by choosing not to listen to him. “You cannot live in this perfect garden anymore,” God told them sadly.
God still loved Adam and Eve, so he made them a promise. God would one day send a Savior to save them from sin.
God, may I always listen to your voice and do your will with love.
Cain and Abel
Genesis 4
Adam and Eve had two sons. Cain was a farmer. He grew vegetables and fruit. Abel was a shepherd. He took care of sheep.
One day both brothers offered a sacrifice of gifts to God. Because Abel loved God so much, he gave God the very best of his flock. Cain brought God some fruit, but not the best produce of his land. God knew what was in each brother’s heart. God was pleased with Abel’s gift, but not with Cain’s.
Cain then grew angry and was jealous of his brother. God warned Cain, “If you give your best, it will be accepted. Control your temper so you do not sin.”
Cain did not obey God. Instead he said to Abel, “Let us go out to the field.”
When the brothers arrived, Cain killed Abel!
God knew what Cain had done. But God still asked Cain, “Where is Abel?”
Cain pretended he did not know. “Am I in charge of my brother’s care?” he sneered.
After this terrible sin, God sent Cain away. Cain was worried that other people would hurt him. But God still loved Cain, so he promised to protect him from harm.
Lord, may I always give you the best of what I have and what I am.
Noah and the Flood
Genesis 6– 9
Adam and Eve had other children, grandchildren, and great- grandchildren. As the years passed, many people lived on the earth.
Over time more and more people disobeyed God and sinned. They did not want to follow God’s way. Eventually, most people chose evil and the Earth became a violent place. Seeing this, God was sorry he had made humans.
