Ideas for Biblical Integration
Share the story of Genesis 3. Eve is tempted by Satan, who came in the form of a snake. Adam and Eve sinned by disobeying God’s command, but God, in His great mercy and love, made a promise that He would send someone to crush the serpent’s head. As early as Genesis 3, we see God’s promise to send a Savior. Jesus is that snake-crushing Savior! When Jesus died on the cross, he fulfilled God’s promise in Genesis 3. Yes, Satan struck his heal as Jesus died on the cross, but Jesus crushed Satan’s head as He paid for our sins in death and rose again to life!
I hope these books and activities are a blessing to you and your family as you seek to educate your precious little ones!
In Christ alone,
Trish
