I want to tell you a story that is changing the lives of people all over the world.
It’s not a story that anyone made up.
Instead it is from the Bible which is the word of the Most High God. Therefore it is true and reliable.
There is only one God, and He is the Most High God.
The Most High God is more powerful than any person,
spirit,
religious teacher,
government,
or god that people worship.

He existed in the beginning before there was anything else.
When God began to create things, He just spoke
and everything came to being.
He created everything on earth and in heaven.
He created things we cannot see, like angels. Angels are beautiful spirits who worship and serve God in heaven.

God also created everything we can see –
the sun,
moon, stars,
the earth, and all the plants and animals.
Finally, He created a man and woman in His own image. When God created everything He said: “This is really good!”

God gave the man and woman a beautiful garden to live in. Each day they walked together and had a wonderful relationship with Him and with each other.
God told them to take care of the garden and to enjoy everything.
He gave them a special command.
He said: “You may eat the fruit of any of the trees in the garden. There is just one tree in the middle of the garden that you may not eat from. If you eat from the fruit from it, you will die.”

The man and woman’s relationship with God and with each other was perfect. God created us to have this kind of relationship with Him and with each other.
