OUT of the garden of Eden, Adam and Eve had to work hard to eat. Instead of tasty fruits, they found thorns and thistles. Because Adam and Eve disobeyed God, he was no longer their friend.
Adam and his son worked hard But worse than that, Adam and Eve were destined to die. Didn't God say they would die if they ate the fruit from a tree? So, the day they ate, they began to die. All the children of Adam and Eve were born after God cast them out of the garden of Eden.
This means that their future children will grow old and die. If only Adam and Eve had obeyed Jehovah, their lives and their children would have been happy. No one will grow old, get sick and die.
God wants people to be happy, and he promises that the day will come when it will be the same. All will be friends of God. And the whole earth will be beautiful.
But Eve was no longer God's friend. So she had great difficulty in giving birth. One can be very difficult when he disobeys God, right? Adam and Eve had many children. Their eldest son was named Cain. The second son was Abel. Do you know what happened to them?
