Test of Faith: Adam & Eve -- Week 1

This year's theme is "Test of Faith" and in our first unit we learn about Adam & Eve.  Unfortunately, they had trouble believing and obeying God and they failed their test of faith.  There are some important truths to learn from Adam and Eve:

  1. Adam and Eve sinned when they disobeyed God’s command. Genesis 3:1-6.
  2. When Adam and Eve sinned, they separated mankind from the good life God had given to mankind. Genesis 3:10, 23.
  3. When Adam and Eve sinned, they damaged mankind’s relationship with God. Genesis 3:8.
  4. When Adam and Eve sinned, they brought physical suffering on mankind. Genesis 3:16-19.
  5. God punished the sinners, Adam and Eve, and cursed the serpent who led Adam and Eve to sin. Genesis 3:14-19.
  6. The effects of this single sin were felt not only by the sinners, but also all of mankind who followed. Genesis 3:15-19.
Talk about these truths as a family and then print one of the following books as a reminder of what you've learned.
