And So The Story Continues

When they were in the garden, God told them that they could eat from every tree except the tree of knowledge. A snake tented Eve to eat from the tree and she gave some to Adam, this made them know and understand everything better. “And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. (Genesis 3: 14-15)

Then God makes them realize that they can know what is good and what is not, this makes them have to be able to choose what they want. We are all free to choose whatever we want, and no matter what we choose, there will be a consequence, so we have to be careful with what we chose.

Then we see as Adam and Eve start to multiply and how their family starts growing. We read about what happened with Cain and Abel and how each of them had chosen a different path, and depending on their actions were their consequences. An example is what happened with Cain. He decided to go through the bad path and he was greatly punished by God.

Because the heart of men started to be very corrupted and there started to be a lot of violence, God decided to punish them and there was huge storm that lasted a really long time. God had told Noah to build and ark and in it take a male and a female of every animal. He decided to obey and was able to survive with his family after all he had to through.

Then I think God realized that maybe he had been very harsh and that’s why he said “I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more everything living, as I have done.” (Genesis 8: 21) and to make sure others know he keeps his word he makes a covenant with them, and I think that the covenant was about us not doing what was wrong and instead to choose right and if we did, God wouldn’t punish us with a storm as the big as the one that happened long ago. I believe that he left a sign to remind us all about it, the rainbow. “And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.” (Genesis 9: 16)
