The Creation Story

Long, long ago, Yahuah created everything in the world. He made the sun and the moon to shine during the day and night. He created the land and the sea, and filled them with animals, trees, and plants. Everything was beautiful and perfect.

Yahuah then decided to create people. He formed Adam from the dust of the earth and breathed life into him. Adam was the first man. Yahuah took one of Adam's ribs and made Eve, the first woman. They were very happy in the Garden of Eden.

Yahuah told Adam and Eve that they could eat from any tree in the garden, except for one. They were not allowed to eat from the Tree of Good and Evil. But one day, a serpent tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. She also offered it to Adam, and they both ate it.

When Yahuah found out what Adam and Eve had done, he was very sad. He had to punish them for disobeying his command. Adam and Eve had to leave the Garden of Eden and face the difficult life outside.

But even though Adam and Eve made a mistake, Yahuah still loved them. He promised to send a Savior who would one day come and save the world from sin. Yahuah always keeps his promises, and he loves us too.
