Eve was the first woman God created.The Bible tells us Eve was the first woman God created. She was created out of Adam’s rib (Genesis 2:21). Eve is said to be the mother of all the living because everyone came from her family line. Just as Adam was made in God’s image, Eve was also made in God’s image (Genesis 1:27) and God loved Eve the same as H

Yes, God can save you and only God can save you.It is important to understand why we need to be saved. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden, their sin separated us from God. Because of God’s great love for us, He had a plan to save us from this separation. God sent Jesus to earth to die for us, taking the punishment we deserved. Wh

The rainbow is God’s sign of His promise to never flood the whole earth again.A long time ago, a flood covered the entire world. The only people who survived were Noah and his family—only eight people! The only land animals that survived were those on the ark, a huge boat God told Noah to build before the flood.When they came out of the ark, God pu

Some people don't want to believe that God created us.Lots of people think humans came from ocean creatures that changed into creatures that walked on the land. People believe that over time those land creatures changed into apelike creatures that eventually changed into humans. This idea is called evolution. People often believe in evolution becau

It might be hard to imagine, but when Jesus was on Earth, He was sinless. He didn’t sin once, not even when He was young!Because Adam and Eve sinned in the garden of Eden, every person born after them has what is called a "sin nature." That means that we naturally want to sin. But because Jesus is God, even when He was here on Earth, He was born wi

We are no longer bound to follow the Old Testament law. Jesus fulfilled it.There was no way for a person to fully keep the Old Testament law. As soon as we sin, we break God`s law. The reason for the law was to point us to Jesus and to show us our need for a Savior (Galatians 3:24). Since we couldn’t keep the law, Jesus came to fulfill the law and

The Bible covers a long period of time from the creation of the world until about 2,000 years ago.The Bible begins with the creation of the universe. However, the first books of the Bible were written about 3,400 years ago, around 1400 BC About 40 different people helped write the books of the Bible in three different languages (Hebrew and Aramaic

The Book of Revelation uses unusual pictures to teach us about the end times.The Apostle John wrote the Book of Revelation. He wrote the book after God showed him special events that would happen in the future. John wrote these things down so that we could know about them too. John's book is difficult to understand because God showed him amazing th

God isn't like us. He is greater and one of a kind!Still, the Bible tells us that God created people after His own likeness (Genesis 1:26). Since people laugh, we can certainly wonder if God has a sense of humor! We wonder if God has a sense of humor when we see the giraffe's long neck, elephant's twisting trunk, and platypus's bill. Or we might wo

God gave us the earth and we have the privilege of taking care of it.God created each tree, flower, ocean, and mountain. All the reptiles, insects, mammals, birds, fish, and amphibians were created by God! He made everything with great care and creativity.God created humans too, and He gave us a special spot in creation. He asked us to take care of

God doesn't have favorites.Even though God loves every person He has created, some things in the Bible seem to show that God blesses certain people in a special way. For example, the Bible in Deuteronomy 7:6 says that God has chosen the Jewish people: "You (Israel) are a holy nation. The Lord your God has set you apart for himself. He has chosen yo

A child of God is anyone who has accepted Jesus as their Savior and Lord (John 1:12). Anybody can become a child of God by believing that Jesus died, was buried, and rose (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).God wants all people to accept His Son Jesus, so that they will become His children. Due to the bad things we do (the Bible calls this sin), we are separate

Joseph was one of the best pictures of Jesus from the Old Testament. Let’s find out why..."God sent me ahead of you to save many lives." (Genesis 45:5b).Imagine having 10 older brothers who hate you and can’t say a kind word about you! No fair!Jacob, the father of Joseph and his brothers, loved Joseph more than his other children. So, he made Josep

We can learn a lot of good things from the Good Samaritan, including kindness, compassion, and love.In the story of the Good Samaritan, a man is robbed and he is badly hurt. He was so injured that he almost dies (Luke 10:30). Three men pass by him. The first man was a priest who walked right by the hurt man. He didn’t stop to help him or even ask i

The Gospels each tell the story of Jesus coming down to earth to share God’s love, which is God’s most important message to people. The Gospels ar

Eternal means "lasting forever."All the people on earth, no matter who they are, have a part of them called a soul. We can’t see our souls, but we know they’re there because that’s where our personalities come from. God created our souls to be a part of us, just like he created our noses, hair, eyes, or brains to be a part of us.We don’t know a lot

People from Bible times will be in heaven.In heaven, we’ll see everyone who believed and followed God. That includes people in the Bible.

Jesus’ first miracle was turning water into wine at a wedding.The Bible does not tell us any miracles Jesus did as a little boy. His first miracle did not happen until he was an adult.

Elisha was the prophet after Elijah. He followed Elijah for many years before God took Elijah up to Heaven. Elisha was the prophet who came after Elijah. During Elijah's final years on earth, Elisha trained under him. Elisha's ministry lasted about 60 years. During his time as a prophet, there were many kings—Jehoram, Jehu, Jehoahaz, and Joash.God

Jesus is called "Lord" as a sign of honor and respect.A "lord" is usually a master or ruler of some sort. In the old days, lords were people who ruled over a group of people or took care of them. The people would call them "lord" to show respect.When we say "Jesus is Lord," we’re telling Jesus that we honor and respect Him, because He is in charge
