Genesis 1:27; 3:20; 4:1-2; Job 20:9a; 34:3; 42:5; Proverbs 20:12; Matthew 11:15 The Bible tells us that a long time ago, God made the earth and everything in it. God made the first people on earth. Adam and Eve. God made their two boys, Cain and Abel. God wanted them to enjoy the world He had created. God gave them special parts of their bodies called senses. He gave them fingers to feel, eyes to see, a nose to smell, ears to hear, and a tongue to taste with. You are using your eyes to look at words and pictures. What is something that feels wet? (water). What can you hear with your ears? (bird) What can you taste? (orange) God made our fingers, eyes, noses, ears, and tongues. God made our senses. God gave us fingers so we could touch. Close your eyes and touch your leg. Think about how it feels. Open your eyes. God gave us eyes to see. Look at your hand. Think about how it looks. God gave us noses to smell. What are some things that smell? God ga...

Genesis 1:27; 2:7; 3:20; 4:1-2; Psalm 139:1-6, 13-18 The Bible tells us what God made. God made a man named Adam. God also made a woman named Eve. And God made two boys named Cain and Abel. It is God who made Adam’s, Eve’s, Cain’s, and Abel’s bodies. God made for each of them a head…and arms…and hands…and legs…and feet! And God made you and me. God knew all about you before you were born. He saw your body even before you were made. God even knows how tall you will be when you are grown-up. Just like Cain and Abel, God made our bodies. He made for each of us a head…and arms…and hands…and legs…and feet! God made our bodies to do many things. He made our arms to throw a ball. God made our legs to stand and sit. He made our hands and fingers. They can wash, pick up things, even pet animals. God made our feet and toes to help us run, walk, and hop. God made our faces so we could eat, breathe, and see. God made our bodies to grow and change. As you grow, you can...

Genesis 3:30; 4:1-2 The Bible tells us that God made a man. His name was Adam. God also made a woman to be a friend and helper for Adam. Her name was Eve. Eve was Adam’s wife. There were two people in God’s world. Adam loved Eve very much. And Eve loved Adam, too. God wanted them to have children. So, He gave them a baby. It was a boy. They named him Cain. Eve said, “I have a baby boy with God’s help.” Adam and Eve loved their baby. The rocked him and kept him safe. Cain grew. Now there were three people in the family. Then God gave Adam and Eve another baby. God gave them another baby boy, a brother for Cain. They named him Abel. Eve may have said, “I have another baby boy with God’s help.” Adam and Eve loved Abel, too. They rocked him and kept him safe, just like they had with Cain. And Abel grew. Now there were four people in this family. Adam and Eve took care of Cain and Abel. They gave them food to eat and water to drink. They taught them many thin...

God Made People

Genesis 1:26-29, 31; 2:7-8, 21-23 The Bible tells us that God made our world. God had made the sun to shine brightly in the daytime and the moon and stars to shine in the nighttime. God had made plants of all sizes and shapes. God had made fish that swam in the water. There were birds that flew in the air. And God had made many animals, like bears, that lived on the land. God looked at what He had made. And God saw that it was good. But God wasn’t done making things. He wanted someone to take care of the world. So God did something very special. God made a man. First, God formed the man out of the dust of the ground. Then He breathed breath into the man. The man became a living person. God named him Adam. God made the first person, Adam. God wanted Adam to have a friend and helper to live with him and love him. He knew it wouldn’t be good for Adam to be alone. So God did another special thing. While Adam was sleeping, God made a woman. When Ad...
