Basic Bible Study - Old TestamentLesson 2LESSON BACKGROUNDGod finished creating our world. Can you imagine what it was like? Everything was wonderful! Do youremember the first time you saw a beautiful mountain or walked through a large flower garden? Thinkabout the most beautiful sunset you have seen. Do you remember all the different animals you haveseen at the zoo? This is what it was like to see the Garden of Eden. The Garden of Eden was the mostwonderful place you have ever seen or imagined. It was a paradise, a beautiful place.UNDERSTANDING CHART #2Read the following verses before you start this lesson—Genesis 1:26-31; Genesis 3:1-24 and Genesis4:1-5. There will be other Bible verses in the lesson to read while you study.As you look at the chart, start with picture number 1 and continue to number 5. Read the Bible verseswritten on the chart.Look at the pictures in number 5. Find the words, “GOD BLESSES.” See the words “Genesis 3:15a.” Inthe very first book of the Bible (Genesis), we read a prophecy (something told about the future) about ablessing from God. This blessing is God’s Son, Jesus.God said to the snake (the devil), “I will make you and the woman enemies to each other. Your childrenand her children will be enemies” (Genesis 3:15a). In this verse, “her children” means Jesus. This verseteaches that Jesus and His friends will always be enemies of the devil and his friends. This means we willhate the actions of the devil and the actions of the devil’s friends.We can choose to be friends of Jesus or friends of the devil. If we are friends of Jesus, He will save usfrom the punishment of our sins. (NT) Matthew 1:21b says, “.he ( Jesus) will save his people from theirsins.”On the chart, find the words, “GOD PUNISHES.” God sent Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Edenbecause of their sin (Genesis 3:23). There was more than one punishment. Read Genesis 3:14-19. Thepunishments were:1. The snake will crawl on his belly and eat dust.2. The woman will have pain in childbirth, and the husband will rule the family.3. Man will have to work hard and sweat to make the soil produce anything.4. All people will have a physical (body) death. “I used dust to make you, and when you die, youwill become dust again” (Genesis 3:19b).Notice the punishments that God gave to Adam, Eve and the snake (devil). These punishments continuetoday. The devil is also called a snake, a serpent, a dragon and Satan (NT) (Revelation 12:9).Do you see the star on the chart by the words “GOD BLESSES”? It is the symbol we use atChristmastime to remind us that the wise men saw the star. This star told them that Jesus, the king, wasborn. Jesus is the blessing that God promised.Find on the chart the words “SACRIFICE/OFFERING.” To make a sacrifice, or offering, to God,people would do the following:1.2.3.4.Find a perfect animal without blemish or defect.Kill the animal.Build an altar. An altar is a raised place made of earth or stone where they could burn thesacrifice.Burn the animal on the altar.Notice the words “FIRST SIN” at the bottom of the chart. Adam and Eve ate fruit from the tree, even17

Basic Bible Study - Old Testamentafter God told them not to eat from the tree. This was the first sin. Adam and Eve made a choice todisobey God. God loves us, but He does not force us to love Him.Do you see the red line on the chart? The red line will be on each chart. It is called “Jesus’ Family Line.”It shows the ancestors, or family line, of Jesus. Jesus’ family line started with Adam and Eve’s son, Seth.Read Genesis 4:25.LESSONGod created a man and a woman. Their names were Adam and Eve (Genesis 3:20). Can you imaginewhat it was like to be with God and talk with Him? Adam and Eve enjoyed a wonderful and closefriendship with God because there was no sin. “Sin” means breaking God’s rules.God said, “You may eat from any tree in the garden. But you must not eat from the tree that givesknowledge about good and evil” (Genesis 2:16b,17a).The devil, who was in the form of a snake, tempted Adam and Eve to eat the fruit from this tree. He liedabout God. Adam and Eve chose to disobey God. They ate the fruit from the tree. Adam and Eve madea serious mistake. They sinned.Because Adam and Eve ate the fruit, they understood what is good and what is bad. Read Genesis 3:3,4.They knew that they were naked and covered themselves with fig leaves (Genesis 3:7).God had to punish Adam and Eve because they broke His rule. God made them leave the Garden ofEden. Now Adam and Eve were not friends with God. They couldn’t fellowship with God. Why?Because they sinned. They broke God’s rule. There was a punishment for breaking God’s rule. NowAdam and Eve were separated from God. That was a terrible situation. God did not want Adam andEve to be separated from Him. God still wanted them to be His friends. Why? Because He loved themso much.STOP AND THINK The devil is still in ourworld today. He is a liarand wants to trick peopleinto sinning. Why?Because the devil hatesGod, and he knows thatsin separates people fromGod. God has a plan so thatHis people don’t have tobe separated from Him.God loved all people somuch that He gave Hisonly Son to die and takeaway their sins. The devil is powerful.We should not obey him.We should obey God.God is more powerful,and God loves us. (NT)James 4:7 says, “So giveyourselves to God. Standagainst the devil, and hewill run away from you.”18The Bible doesn’t say what God asked Adam and Eve to do to come in close fellowship with God again.Genesis 4:3,4 says that Cain and Abel, sons of Adam and Eve, brought offerings to God. Cain broughtsome of his harvest, but Abel brought the firstborn lamb. God was pleased with Abel’s offering. He wasnot pleased with Cain’s offering. Obviously, God must have told them what to bring as an offering. Abelobeyed and Cain did not. (NT) Hebrews 11:4b says, “But Abel offered a better sacrifice to God becausehe had faith.” Cain was angry that God wasn’t pleased with his offering (Genesis 4:5-7). Cain continuedto disobey God. Cain killed his brother, Abel (Genesis 4:8). God placed Cain under a curse. Caincould no longer farm the soil, and he would be homeless (Genesis 4:11-12).God always requires obedience. As you continue to read the Old Testament, you will see that a timecame when God required a blood sacrifice of animals as a payment for sin. (NT) Hebrews 9:22b says,“Sins cannot be forgiven without a blood sacrifice.”Many years later, God offered His only Son, Jesus Christ, as a sacrifice for sin. Jesus died on the crossbecause of our sins. Remember what (NT) Matthew 1:21 said? Jesus would save us from our sins.Jesus was the final sacrifice for our sins. “Christ himself suffered when he died for you, and with that onedeath he paid for your sins” (NT) (1 Peter 3:18a). After Jesus died, the blood of animals was no longerneeded.

Basic Bible Study - Old TestamentLesson 3LESSON BACKGROUNDGod forced Adam and Eve to leave the Garden of Eden. What happened to them? Read Genesis4:1-8. Adam and Eve had children. The first two children were named Cain and Abel. Abel becamea shepherd, and Cain became a farmer. God must have told Cain and Abel how to offer a sacrifice toHim. (NT) Hebrews 11:4b says, “But Abel offered a better sacrifice to God because he had faith.” It isclear that Abel obeyed God. Abel sacrificed the way God had told them. Cain did not obey God. Godpunished Cain for his disobedience.Cain went away from God. He would not worship God anymore (Genesis 4:16). Cain rebelled againstGod. He even killed his brother, Abel. Cain and his family started the first false religion. They rebelledagainst God’s rules. They broke His rules.Adam and Eve had two lines, or groups, of descendants. The godly (good) line and the ungodly (bad)line. The ungodly line is sometimes called “sons of man.” They are descendants of Cain. They did notfollow God’s rules. The godly line is sometimes called “sons of God.” They are the people who followGod’s rules. They are the descendants of Seth. Seth was Adam and Eve’s third son. Seth was anancestor (in the family line) of Jesus. (NT) Luke 3:38b tells us that “Seth was the son of Adam. Adamwas the son of God.”In Genesis 4:1–8:22, you will read the history of the descendants of Cain and Seth. You will noticethat sometimes the two families named their children by the same name, like Enoch or Lamech. At firstSeth’s family line followed God’s rules. Then they forgot to obey God.Almost all the descendants of Adam and Eve became very wicked. For 1500 years the people continuedto be bad. The people were so wicked that God said they were evil all the time (Genesis 6:1-5). Becausepeople were so bad, God said He would have to destroy them. God would send a flood to destroy theevil people. The flood was a punishment for their sin.UNDERSTANDING CHART #3On the left side of the chart you will find the names of Adam and his three sons — Seth, Abel and Cain.You can see the names of some of their descendants. Of course, Abel didn’t have any children becauseCain killed him. As you read Genesis 5:1-32,

The word “Bible” is a Greek word (biblos) meaning “books.” The Bible is like a library—it is a collection of 66 books. The names of the 66 books of the Bible are printed in the front of your Bible. The Bible has two main parts — the Old Testament and the New Te
