… why is it that we have a natural propensity to drift towards ungodliness?
What does Gen 3 have to say?
1) The way sin is sown
a) Doubt
“Did God really say?”
b) Desire
You could be like him.. knowing good and evil.
2) The impact sin has
…verse 7
… They hide from God.
… they blame others.
Gen 2:23 … Adam is captivated by Eve.
But in Gen 3:12, blame is being attributed
verse 14 … specific judgement of God
… the serpent
… the woman
- childbirth will be painful.
- will desire her husband and he will rule over her.
– to take the place of the husband.
– to be in the right relationship with her husband.
… the man
- Frustrate his work
- until death comes.
3) Hope?
…the seed of Eve will crush the serpents head.
- will have off spring.
- one who will bring an end
- the nature and character of God in the face of human sin.
