The first man was created according to divine perfection,
God made him pure and clean to dwell in his habitation.
Then, God saw that the man was in great solitude,
God made the perfect companion to warm his heart.
They were always in the presence of the Lord,
For all their needs, God was the provider.
There was nothing more they could want or desire,
The greatness of God was complete in their lives.
The most cunning of animals, the serpent, spoke to the woman,
He spoke pleasant words, and she had faith in them.
The woman ate the fruit and gave it to the man,
Both went to hide when they realized they were naked.
This sin made humankind corrupt and impure,
From that moment on, everyone would be filthy, for sure.
All humans were far from the Lord,
The sin of humankind separates them from the Creator.
A great sacrifice was needed for reconciliation,
God punished sin in his only Son.
Jesus took upon himself the sins of all humanity,
This gesture of love gave everyone a new opportunity.
Sinners were justified by the sacrifice of Jesus,
All sins were cleansed because of the blood on the cross.
By the grace of God, humans were freed from condemnation,
Through the great love of the Father, they have eternal salvation.
