God Created People Genesis 1-2
Paraphrased Story : God made the world in six days. On the sixth day, God said, “Let us make man in our likeness.” God made a man out of dirt. He breathed and made the man come to life. The man’s name was Adam. God gave Adam a garden where he could live, work, and care for the animals. But Adam was alone. God did not think this was good. God made Adam fall asleep. God took one of Adam’s ribs and made a woman. Adam was so happy! The woman became Adam’s wife. Adam named his wife Eve. God blessed Adam and Eve and told them to have lots of children to fill the earth. Everything God made was very good! God rested on the seventh day.
