Genesis 3 · Grade 4

The Fall and the First Promise

Name Date

Read and Think

Genesis 3 explains why the world is broken. The serpent twisted God's words and made God seem unkind. He told Eve she would not die but would be like God. Eve trusted the serpent's word instead of God's. She ate the fruit and gave some to Adam, and he ate too.

Right away things changed. Adam and Eve felt shame and tried to cover themselves with fig leaves. When God came walking in the garden, they hid. God asked, Where are you? Of course God knew where they were; He was inviting them to come and confess. Instead, Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed the serpent.

God judged the sin. Life would now include pain, hard work, and death, and Adam and Eve were sent out of Eden. But even in judgment God showed grace. He made garments of skin to clothe them, and He promised that the woman's offspring would crush the serpent's head. Christians have read this as the first promise of Jesus, who defeated sin and Satan.
