“And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?”— Genesis 3:8–9 (KJV) In Lesson 4, we saw how humanity departed from God. This separation from God began when man turned away from God's Word and trusted another voice. Satan questioned God's Word. Eve listened to anot

“Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”— Genesis 3:1 (KJV) In the first three lessons, we saw that God created all things, that we come to know Him through His Word, and that God works in our hearts through His Word.

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.”— Genesis 1:1–5 (KJV) In

The Bible begins with these words: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”— Genesis 1:1 (KJV) If we reduce this sentence to its subject and verb, we are left with two simple words: God created. Those two words reveal something very important. Man did not create—God did. Most books in the world focus on what people have done, what people should do, or what people need to accomplish. But the Bible is fundamentally different. It reveals what God has done and wha
