Introduction
The first time I ever picked up the Bible I remember reading about Adam and Eve. They were the first humans ever created by God. They were in nature “pure”. God told Adam before Eve was created that he was not to eat of the tree of good and evil. After that, God warned that in the day he did eat of that tree man would surely die. After Eve was created Satan changed into a serpent to tempt her. He told her that God had lied to her. He said that she wouldn't die, in fact, she would become like God. She would know everything, just as God does. Eve allowed herself to be deceived. After she took that bite she sealed the fate of all mankind. However we were not doomed yet. Even after being kicked out of the garden we still had God on our side. He gave us Jesus Christ. Who went through so much pain and torment in order to save us for the mistake Adam and Eve made. I know so much pain and suffering in the world and I wonder where it originated. How do I escape from the sin of the world and be safe. The answer came in the healing and powerful words of the bible. My pastor read me my favorite scripture of the bible a long time ago. I will never forget it. “And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him and help meet for him.” (Genesis; chapter two). I wondered was alone in my struggle. I had figured that I would be fighting alone. God would never leave or forsake us. I learned this the hard way.

Part One
Jesus, God’s only Son, paid the penalty for the sins of the whole world, including yours and mine. My heart broke when I had learned what Jesus had done for people who had beaten and scorned him. Even as his wrist and ankles were being nailed to the cross he cried out to God “Father...

... to live by if I ever get lost. “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true” (Revelation 21:1-5). “Do not love the world or anything in the world… For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away…” (1 John 2:15-16)

Conclusion
The fall of man and death of Christ. I picked these two topics because I felt that they were closely related. Two people sin and God sins his one and only son to correct their mistake. God’s love is unfailing, perfect and supreme. In his infinite love, God invites us to cultivate our eternal potential by his grace, through the atonement of the Lord of the Jesus Christ. In every gospel Jesus Christ’s inspires love, hope, and gratitude in the hearts of everyone.
