All that day Adam and Eve were not happy. Evening came, and they were afraid. They knew God would come to visit the,. They ran to hide among the bushes. They did not want to see God.

But God called them. God called, Where are you? They knew they could not hide from God. So they came out of their hiding place. They stood before God. They said, We were afraid.

And they told God what they had done.

Adam did not say that he was sorry. He said it was Eves fault. Eve did not say she was sorry. She told God it was the serpents fault.

When they had told God about it, God called the serpent. God said to the serpent, From this day on, you shall crawl upon your stomach. You, and all serpents to come, shall eat dust. The children of this woman shall be your enemies. And one of them will crush your head.

When God said that, He was thinking of the time when Jesus would come to be our Savior and crush your head.

God said to Eve, Your happiness is spoiled. You shall have children. But you shall have my pain and sorrow.

Then He said to Adam, Because you disobeyed me, thorns and weeds shall grow on Earth. You shall have to work hard. And at last you shall die and become part of the Earth again.
Then God sent them out of the garden. He put an angel at that garden. The angel had a flaming sword. No one could come into the garden.

God also had animals killed and made coats of their skin for Adam and Eve.
Adam and Eve were very sad. They went out of the garden with sad hearts.
Now they had to make their own garden. It was hard work. Weeds grew fast. Sharp thorns came on many plans. Adam had to work hard to get enough to eat.

The animals had been friends of Adam. But now they had become wild. The lion and tigers growled at Adam and Eve. The little animals ran away from them.

So, by the sin of Adam and Eve, Gods beautiful world was spoiled.

But, worst of all, God did not come to walk and talk with Adam and Eve as He used to. Their sin had come between them and God. God had sent them away from Him. Their sin separated them from God. To be separated from God is death.

All death came into the world because of sin. But even then, so very long ago, God was planning to send His Son to be our Savior, to save us from sin and to bring us back to God.
