The novel A Father who Keeps His Promises: God's Covenant Love in Scripture by Scott Hahn highlights the significant events in Scripture. Hahn starts with a story of a father in Armenia digging through the rubble of a collapsed school to save his son. When his son is found alive, he states that his father would never forget him.

Genesis 2 is about Adam and his entrance into Eden. God told Adam he was allowed to eat from the tree of life, but not the tree of knowledge. He would die a spiritual death if he did. Due to Adam’s loneliness, God created Eve, to be his wife. Adam later faced a test when a serpent entered Eden. The serpent convinced Eve to eat the forbidden fruit.

God tested Abraham by asking him to give Isaac as a burnt offering. He went, and a ram was sacrificed instead. This showed God that Abraham feared Him and did not withhold his
