Adam and Eve who created
original sin

[Genesis 3:6]
When
the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to
the eye,
and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it.
She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.

God
created the whole world with His Word. On the sixth day, God breathed into
the man's nostrils made of clay, and he became a living being.
The first man God created himself is called Adam.
|
4
|
|
God created a garden in Eden in
the eastern land so that Adam could live.
He caused all kinds of trees to grow in the Garden of Eden that produced all
kinds of beautiful and good fruit. There was also the tree of life and the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the middle of the garden.
A river flowed from Eden to water the garden. God made the river that started
in Eden divided into four streams to become four rivers.
The rivers were named Pishon, Gihon, Tigris, and Euphrates.

God told Adam to take Adam to the
Garden of Eden and take care of it and keep it.
And God also gave Adam a command and a promise that he must keep.
"And the LORD God commanded the
man, ¡°You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat
from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
for when you eat from it you will certainly die.¡±"(Genesis 2:16-17)

|
|
God, who prepared the Garden of
Eden for Adam, did a special thing for Adam.
God put Adam into a deep sleep, took out one of Adam's ribs, and filled its
place with flesh.
And he made a woman from Adam's rib to become his wife and brought her to
Adam.
We call this woman Eve.
|

|
|
Adam was overjoyed when he saw Eve
whom God had brought, and he confessed this.
¡°Ah, this is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. Because it came from a
man, I will call her a woman.¡±
God Himself created a home for Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve became a married
couple and lived happily in the Garden of Eden. Because the two of them had
sinned, they lived naked, but there was no shame in them.
|
8
|
|
One day Satan entered into a sly
and cunning serpent and approached Eve and said,
¡°Did God really say that you should not eat from any tree in the garden?¡±
The serpent asked Eve a question, as if God had told her not to eat
everything.
|
9
|
|
Upon hearing this, Eve said to the
serpent. ¡°We can eat all the fruit of the tree in the garden, but God said
not to eat or touch the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden,
otherwise we would die.¡±
|
10
|
|
Hearing
Eve's answer, the serpent spoke as if waiting. ¡°You are not going to die, so
God said this so that when you eat the fruit of the tree and your eyes are
opened, you will know good and evil, and you will become like God.¡±
The serpent spoke to Eve as God
told Adam and Eve not to eat in order not to give them something good.
|
11
|
|
After
hearing the serpent's words, Eve looked at the tree and saw something
different.
The fruit of the tree looked so delicious and beautiful.
Its fruit seemed to make people wise, like the words of a serpent.
Doubts began to arise in Eve's heart about God's Word.
|
12
|
|
Eve succumbed to the serpent's
temptation to become like God if she ate the fruit.
Eve ate from the tree of good and evil, which God had told her not to eat.
Eve made her husband, Adam, also eat the fruit. Adam also broke God's command
by eating the fruit like Eve.
|
13
|
|
The first humans created by God, Adam and Eve, broke God's
command and sinned.
The eyes of the two men who sinned began to see things that had not been seen
before they sinned.
They were ashamed of their nakedness, so they made clothes from fig leaves to
cover themselves.
|
14
|
|
At that moment they heard the
sound of God walking through the Garden of Eden.
God called and found Adam. Because Adam and Eve sinned, they could not appear
before God.
Adam answered by hiding among the trees in the garden from God.
¡°I heard the voice of God, but because I was naked, I hid because I was
afraid.¡±
|
15
|
|
God asked Adam again. ¡°Who told you
that you were naked? Did you eat from the tree I told you not to eat?¡±
Adam made excuses by saying, ¡°The woman you put here with me - she gave me
some fruit from the tree, and I ate it¡± Eve was also God He explained that
the snake deceived him and ate the fruit.
|
16
|
|
God placed
a curse on the serpent to eat dirt and crawl on its stomach for the rest of
its life.
He punished Eve with the pain of childbirth.
He punished Adam for having to work hard and sweat to eat for the rest of his
life.
And the most terrible punishment is that they disobeyed God's command and
died by eating the fruit of the tree of good and evil.
|
17
|
|
God made
clothes from animal skins on Adam and Eve, who sinned, and cast them out of
the Garden of Eden. And so that no human could ever enter there again, God
set up angels on the east side of the Garden of Eden and set fires burning
like blades of swords around them to protect the tree of life.
|
18
|
|
The sin that Adam and Eve committed by breaking God's
command and eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge is called original sin.
All humans born after Adam and Eve were born with original sin. Because of
original sin, no human being can meet God by their own strength, and they
have fallen to the seat of death.
Jesus is the God who came to this earth to free humans from the suffering of
this original sin.
Jesus, who was sinless, paid for all human sins, died on the cross, overcame
death on the third day, and rose again to open the way of salvation for
people to meet God.
We thank Jesus for the grace that opened the way for us to meet God again,
and we must become people of faith who try not to commit any sins.
