A Hard Life Begins

OUTSIDE the garden of Eden, Adam and Eve had many troubles. They had to work harder for their food. Instead of  beautiful fruit trees, they saw lots of thorns and thistles grow around them.  This is what happened when Adam and Eve disobeyed God and stopped being his friends.


But worse then that, Adam and Eve started to die. Remember God warned them that they would die if they ate the fruit from a certain tree. Well, the very next da6 that they ate they began to die. How foolish they were not to listen to God!

The children of Adam and Eve were all born after God put their parents out of the garden of Eden. This means that the children would also have to grow old and die. 

 If only Adam and Eve had  obeyed Jehovah, life would have been happy for them and their children.  They could all have lived forever in happiness on earth. No one would have had to grow old, get sick and die.
