Ask the Questions
Bigs Discussion Questions
What was your favorite part of today’s Bible story?
Genesis 3 what happened when Adam and Eve disobeyed the one rule God gave them.
What did you learn about God in today’s Bible story?
God wants us to obey Him. When we disobey God, that is called sin. Sin keeps us from God, but God never stops loving us. He sent His Son, Jesus, to rescue people from sin and bring them back to God. When we sin, God will forgive us because of Jesus.
Why do you think Adam and Eve hid when they heard God walking through the garden?
Adam and Eve sinned against God. God told them not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but they listened to the serpent and ate from the tree anyway. Adam said, “I was afraid, so I hid.”
What does it mean to sin? To sin is to go against God and His commands.
Elementary Discussion Questions
What was the serpent’s end goal?
Help kids to see past Eve eating a piece of fruit. Help kids to understand that Satan has an end goal: to get us to disobey, disbelieve, and distrust God’s perfect plan and commands. Read John 10:10, “The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy.” Help them consider how Satan might be tempting us today.
Why did Adam and Eve suddenly feel ashamed?
Guide the kids to see that in Genesis 1-2, Adam and Eve felt no shame and were naked in the garden. Remind the kids that the forbidden fruit came from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Before eating the fruit, Adam and Eve were innocent and didn’t know right from wrong. By choosing to disobey God, they were guilty and suddenly aware of their guilt. They felt shame because they gained the burden of knowing what evil is. Shame is a consequence of sin, but that even in that shame and sin, God still loves us.
Why did Adam and Eve have to leave the garden?
Help the kids understand that sin always has consequences. Sin separates us from God. Help the kids discuss the only way to God is through His Son, Jesus Christ. Explain that Jesus’ death on the cross paid the penalty for sin that we owe. His death took the place of our deaths. Read 1 John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” Help the kids understand that if we confess our sins and believe in Jesus, we will be saved.
