365 Days, Day 4

God created Eve from one of Adam's ribs. They lived peacefully in a beautiful garden, taking care of it as God asked. God warned them not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge, but a sneaky serpent convinced Eve to try the fruit. She shared it with Adam, and suddenly they felt guilty and afraid to face God. God made Eve in a wonderful way. When Adam was asleep, God took a rib out of him. God made a woman with that rib and brought her to Adam. They loved each other. Adam named the woman Eve. They lived at peace in their beautiful garden. They cared for it as God asked, and God walked with them there. Two special trees grew in Eden. One was named the Tree of Life. God warned them about the other tree. It was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. If you eat of this tree, he said, you will die. Now there was a sneaky creature in the garden, the serpent. He said to Eve, Did God say you shouldn't eat the Tree of Knowledge? Eve answered, He said if we do, we will die. That is not true, the serpent lied. Eat it and you will be like God. Eve believed him and ate the tree's fruit. She gave some of it to Adam, and he ate it. Suddenly they knew they were wrong. For the first time they were afraid to meet God.
