Genesis 2:10-14.

Sin. When people choose to disobey God’s plan for
living, they are choosing to sin. And sin ruins people’s
lives. Genesis shows that living God’s way can be rewarding and makes life fulfilling.
JJ
Promises. God has promised to help and protect
his people. He made a covenant with Noah that he would
never again destroy the earth with a flood and gave a wonderful sign for us to remember his promise: the rainbow.
