BSF Genesis 3 on 11 March 2013

ONE

Revelation 12:7
Angels fought a war in heaven. Satan was hurled to earth.

Those who do not want to be under the Authority of god they will question reliability of the bible.

- Satan twisted god's words. He plants the idea. He lead Eve to the path. Tempted Eve.
- Eve magnifierd the strictness of god and added to god's word. She doubted the intention of god. Eve followed on and be tempted.
- Satan denies the consequence of sin. Hinting that disobedience brings advantage. Intent is bad but look like he wants to benefit Eve

- Satan appeals to her pride and Eve thought god was hiding something good from her.
- Eve want to be equal like God.
- we do not want justice unless when we are the victim.

- Eve lost sight of God's providence, her abundance. Forgot to consult her husband, forgot God's instructions and lost sight of God. Doubt god's heart.

- Adam let Satan tempt Eve and he watched. He did not remind Eve of god's will. He joined in and to deny God's word.

- it's the same way we watch and wait like Adam.

^^^ Sin takes hold when we doubt God's Word & God's heart. ^^^


- learn to listen only the voice of our Heavenly Father.


TWO

- A and E had openness, transparent and nothing to hide. They experience shame and guilt. Suddenly they remembered that they are going to die.

- yet endless times God seeks out us. He was providing a platform to repent and reconcile

- Adam blamed god. He did not even answer the question. Eve chose the will of the devil instead of god's will. Evasion of responsibility when disobedience.

- There is no condemnation in his question. God was trying to bring Adam back to confess.

- one sin leads to another

^^^ when we sin, make a beeline for God. ^^^

- we have to look to god. He graciously make provision for us. Remember the goodness of god.


THREE

Verse 14-24 : Adam & Eve Banished but Protected.

- God reveals redemption plan.

- Serpent probably was not crawling before. Before the fall, maybe animals could talk.

- genesis 3:15. Origin of all conflict in relationships. He will strike his heel - God will chase him away.

- pain - in child bearing and child rearing. Women will desire the husband. Origin of conflict and struggles in relationship.

- it was never god's intention. Sin alienate us from god. Lose intimacy with god. After the fall, it is goin to be a struggle to provide for a living and requires a great toil and suffering to bring food to the table.

- spiritually dead in sin. Adam and Eve were created to live eternally.

- we will for one day unless we choose to eat from the tree of life. We have to choose to come under the authority of god.

- meaning of Eve = Life.
- Adam believed that he can have life again. He heard the gospel.

---- God created a way and made provision and gave us the choice to choose Christ.
---

::: God made the skin to cover them. It takes a life to pay for the sins. To make the skin garment.

-- want us to mature spiritually to train themselves to distinguish the good from evil.
