Right and Wrong: THE GUIDANCE WE NEED -Continue

 Jehovah gave the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, everything they needed to be truly happy. (Genesis 1:28, 29; 2:8, 15) He also gave them simple instructions that he expected them to obey. However, he let them choose for themselves whether they would follow those instructions or not. (Genesis 2:9, 16, 17) Sadly Adam and Eve chose to live by their own standards rather than God's standards. (Genesis 3:6) What has been the result. Is the human family better off deciding for themselves what is right and wrong? No. History proves that ignoring God's standards does not bring everlasting peace and happiness.

The Bible provides the guidance we need in order to make wise moral choices, regardless of our background. (2 Timothy 3:16, 17; see the box "A book for All People.") Consider how the Bible does this.
