Friday - Lesson 5: Adam and Eve and Their Family Offered Sacrifices

  • Why is it important for Heavenly Father’s children to remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ? (To show our gratitude for the great blessing of the remission of our sins and the resurrection of our bodies after death; to remind us to keep his commandments so that we will have his Spirit to be with us.) How can you better remember Jesus and his sacrifice? (See enrichment activity 3.)

Thursday - Lesson 5: Adam and Eve and Their Family Offered Sacrifices

  • How does Satan feel when we disobey God’s commandments? (Moses 5:21.)
  • Even though the Lord did not accept Cain’s offering, he did not reject Cain. He gave Cain specific warnings about the dangerous choices he was making. What was the Lord’s warning to Cain? (Moses 5:23.) How did Cain react to this warning? (Moses 5:26.) How should you react to warnings from the Lord as given through the Spirit, parents, or Church leaders? What are some things we have been warned about?
  • What did Satan want Cain to swear to him? (Moses 5:29–31.) Who knew of the murder of Abel even though Cain kept his secret? (Moses 5:34–35.) Why can’t people hide their actions from God?

Tuesday - Lesson 5: Adam and Eve and Their Family Offered Sacrifices

Tuesday

  • Why was it important for Adam and Eve and their family to know about Jesus Christ? (Moses 5:15.) Why is it so important for each of us to remember Jesus?
  • How did Adam and Eve’s children learn about the gospel of Jesus Christ? (Moses 5:12, 58.) How are you learning about the gospel? Why didn’t some of Adam’s children believe what Adam and Eve taught them? (Moses 5:13.) How can you avoid being led astray by Satan and his followers?
  • How did Cain feel about the Lord? (Moses 5:16, 18.) Why was Abel’s sacrifice accepted while Cain’s was not? (Moses 5:18; Hebrews 11:4.) Explain that God knew that Cain loved Satan more than God and was offering a sacrifice at Satan’s command rather than following the commandment of the Lord. Cain’s offering was done without faith in Jesus Christ. Abel had faith in Jesus Christ and was sincerely worshiping the Lord.

Monday - Lesson 5: Adam and Eve and Their Family Offered Sacrifices

The lesson

I love that we are studying the Old Testament this year in primary and sunday school.  Lesson 5: Adam and Eve and Their Family Offered Sacrifices is a wonderful teaching tool for us to teach children that the symbolism of sacrifices goes all the way back to the beginning of the world as we know it.

I love the introduction attention activity that relates to the importance of remember Heavenly Father and the Saviour.

Monday

The memorization game - relate that to How important it was for Adam and Eve to remember God and Jesus.  It is also very important for us to remember them every day.  We pray to Heavenly Father,  We read scriptures and when we are baptised all we do is in his name.

  • How was life different for Adam and Eve after they left the Garden of Eden? (Moses 5:1–4.)
  • What were Adam and Eve commanded to sacrifice to the Lord? (Moses 5:5.) Why did Adam offer sacrifices? (Moses 5:6.) Why is it wise to obey Heavenly Father’s commandments even if we do not completely understand why?
  • What did the angel tell Adam was the purpose for offering sacrifices? (Moses 5:7.) What does similitude mean? (A likeness or comparison.) Explain that the offering of sacrifices was to remind the ancient people about the sacrifice that Jesus Christ would one day make in taking our sins upon him and giving his life for us. This was a way for the people to always remember Jesus.
