Lesson: 102 Lesson Name: Man was Blessed of God
Theme: God's Goodness Reading: Genesis 3:1-7 Memory Verse: Rom. 5:12
Memory Verse Text: By one man sin entered in to the world. Attention Getter: Tell a story of someone who was so good to you even though they had no reason. How would you treat them? Point 1: Adam and Eve were incredibly and wonderfully made: They had everything they needed physically, materially (garden had all he needed), emotionally (Eve was the perfect counterpart), and spiritually (God came near in the cool of the day). Adam was given dominion; God raised him up and gave him his place, as well as suitable work and satisfaction. Finally, they were given guidelines for their own good.
Point 2: God put him in the garden (God had a purpose for him). It is important for man to have a purpose. God has a high purpose for each of us.
Point 3: Specify about the two trees in the midst of the garden: 1) The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and 2) The Tree of Life. Prohibition: It was God's garden and under God's rules. So was Adam.
Point 4: Specify how that man was given a free will in order that he wouldn't be a robot. Show how the Serpent questioned God's Goodness (Gen. 3:5), questioned God's Word (Gen. 3:1), and lied (Gen. 3:4). He's the same today. Show how Eve twisted what God had said so that it sounded better. Illustration: Tell of one who lied and the resulting cost or mistake. Summary: Trust the ONE whose Word is true, not the one who lies. God wants the very best for us.
