Disobedience Genesis 3: 17-1 9 The Bible tells how sin entered the world through Adam because he disobeyed God. Paul discusses the spiritual connection between Adam and someone else in Romans 5:12-21. Use the letters in "disobedience" to fill in the missing letters in the Scripture from Genesis 3:17b-19. Then use the letters above the numbers to find the spiritual connection Paul discusses in Romans 5:12-21.

Wicked Cities Genesis 14: 12-13; 19: 1-29 Lot was Abram's relative and traveled with him. When Lot and Abram parted ways, Lot settled and became wealthy in a city that was very sinful. God destroyed this city and another city. Lot and his family were saved. But Lot's wife looked back at the city as she was leaving, even though angels had instructed her not to do so. For her disobedience, Lot's wife was turned into a pillar of salt. Use the code below to find Lot's connection to Abram and the names of the two cities destroyed because of the people's wickedness.
