Biblical Account of First Human Disobedience
God created the whole world by
His creative power. He spoke all
things into existence by His spoken
word. But He created man in His
image. God put the man and his
wife in the Garden of Eden. He told
them to eat from all the trees in the
garden except one tree. That tree is
the tree of knowledge of good and
evil.
But Adam and Eve did not obey this
command by God. This led to their
dismissal from the Garden of Eden.
Meaning of Disobedience
To disobey means breaking of rules
and regulations.
It also means refusal to keep to
instructions given by one’s superior.
Disobedience, therefore, means a
deliberate act of not doing what one
is told to do by God, his parents,
teachers, country and authorities
Disobedience of Adam and Eve (Genesis 3:1 19)
In the Bible, we have the first
recorded account of disobedience.
Adam and Eve did what God told them not to do. They ate the fruit of
the tree of knowledge of good and
evil, which God told them not to eat.
God warned them that the day they
ate of it, they would die. But Satan
deceived them and they ate of the
fruit.
Satan came to Eve in form of a Serpent and told her to eat the fruit
from the tree of knowledge of good
and evil. Eve told the serpent that
God said that they should not eat of
that tree, else they would die. The
serpent said, that they would not die,
rather they would “be as wise as
gods. This means they would be
independent of God.
When the woman saw that the fruit was good, she ate and gave to her husband.
They ate and realized they were naked.
They sowed fig leaves to cover their
nakedness. When they heard the
voice of God in the cool of the day,
they hid themselves because they
were afraid.
Consequences of the Disobedience of Adam and Eve (GENESIS 3:14-19)

result or the punishments the disobedience Adam and Eve brought into the world. Everyone of them received his or her own punishments.

- dust from which he was formed.

Learner’s Disobedience and Consequences
Just as we have divine laws, given
by God for everyone to obey, so do
we have dos and don’ts, rules and
regulations, bye laws and laws that guide and conduct our relationships in the homes, schools, communities,
churches and the country as a whole.
As students, one must obey these
rules and laws and show respect to
elders, parents, fellow students, class prefects, teachers, principals,
constituted authorities, places and
things such as National symbols.
Consequences of Disobedience
Every disobedience to rules, laws
and authorities must always attract a
punishment which can be given in
different forms and ways, depending
on the gravity of the offence.
For example:
Disobedience to any school rules,
attracts punishment; for example,
lateness to school or fighting, stealing,
using abusive words, etc, have their
corresponding punishments which can take any of these forms:
Grass cutting, flogging, isolation, kneeling down suspension from school, denial of privileges such as food, snacks, playing with mates, gifts, and so on.
CONSEQUENCES OF DISOBEYING

regulations of the state contained in
her constitution, which are meant to
moderate the behaviours of persons

times, certain actions of people run
