ILLUSTRATED BIBLE STORY

Adam and Eve Become Selfish

GENESIS CHAPTERS 2-3

JEHOVAH MADE THE FIRST HUMAN,

ADAM, OUT OF DUST. HE PUT ADAM
AND HIS WIFE, EVE, IN A BEAUTIFUL
GARDEN IN A PLACE CALLED EDEN.

HE GAVE THEM ALL SORTS

OF BEAUTIFUL TREES AND
DELICIOUS FOOD.

HE LET THEM TAKE CARE OF THE ANIMALS, AND

HE INVITED ADAM AND EVE TO LIVE FOREVER IN
THE PARADISE AS HIS FRIENDS. BUT JEHOVAH
GAVE THEM ONE SPECIAL COMMAND . . .

 JEHOVAH
SAYS THAT WE
SHOULD NOT EAT FRUIT
FROM THAT TREE AND
THAT IF WE DO, WE
WILL DIE.

MAKING A SNAKE APPEAR TO TALK,

SATAN THE DEVIL LIED TO EVE.

YOU
WILL NOT
DIE.

SATAN WANTED EVE TO THINK ONLY ABOUT

HERSELF AND NOT ABOUT JEHOVAH.

IF YOU EAT
IT, YOU WILL BE
LIKE GOD.

I TASTED
THE FRUIT, ADAM.
YOU SHOULD
TOO.

 BECAUSE ADAM AND EVE
SELFISHLY DISOBEYED HIM, WHAT IS THIS
JEHOVAH GOD WAS DEEPLY HURT. YOU HAVE DONE?
YOU WILL EVENTUALLY
DIE AND RETURN TO
THE DUST.

JEHOVAH EXPELLED ADAM AND EVE FROM

THE GARDEN OF EDEN, AND CHERUBS
GUARDED THE ENTRANCE TO IT.

ADAM AND EVES SELFISHNESS COST

THEM PARADISE, ETERNAL LIFE, AND
THEIR FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD.
