Genesis 3 Sin

Genesis 3 The Fall of Man Genesis 3:1-7 Sin
Satan’s 3 step approach

1) Question the truth – has God said?
2) Deny the truth – You shall not surely die
3) Twist the truth – You will be like God
Does Satan use this approach today?

Genesis 3:8-13
The result of sin

What were the immediate resulting consequences (before the curses) of the sin?
Man’s relationship with God suffered.
Adam didn’t understand how his sin had affected his relationship with God.
FEAR showed up.
Adam blamed Eve – Eve blamed the serpent.

What are the immediate results of your and my sin?
Why does sin impact our relationship with God?
Why doesn’t He just look the other way once in a while?

The Curses
Genesis 3:14-19
The serpent – on your belly, enmity, bruised head.
The Woman – pain in childbirth
Adam – toil, cursed ground, thorns and thistles, return to dust.

Sin is serious. The consequences range from impacting our relationship with God to everyday life.
We should be on guard against temptation, and recognize it for what it can lead to.
