God created the earth and the whole universe in six days. As the climatic act, he made Adam and Eve. When he had finished his work, God rested on the seventh day.
He placed Adam and Eve in Eden and provided everything they needed to live and enjoy life. He gave them instructions on how to live, and warned them not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Satan deceived Eve; she and Adam disobeyed God.
God told Satan, Eve, and Adam what their punishments would be, and he assured Eve that one of her descendants would triumph over Satan. He covered their nakedness but banished them from the garden.
Eve gave birth to Cain and later to Abel. Abel did his best to respect God, but Cain was godless. Cain killed Abel because he was jealous of Abel’s relationship with God.
As God had warned, Adam died. Because his sin affected the whole human race, as the population increased, the world became corrupt and violent. This broke the Lord’s heart, but it made him so angry that he decided to destroy the world.
Noah was a good man. To protect Noah from the coming flood, God told him to build an ark for his family and for animals.
After the flood, God commanded Noah to repopulate the earth. He promised he would never destroy the world again with a flood, and gave the rainbow as his promise.
Instead of spreading out as God had ordered, people gathered to build a city and a tower. Because everyone spoke the same language, God put an end to their rebellion by confusing their tongues and scattering them across the earth.
