INTRODUCTION: Genesis 3:1-24<\/p>\n
A. Have you ever wondered how one could allow a moment of pleasure to destroy his\/her marriage or reputation?<\/p>\n
1. What causes one to mortgage his life to pay the high price of sin?<\/p>\n
2. What causes one to turn his back on God, his family or his brethren?<\/p>\n
3. Genesis 3 will give us some insight into these questions.<\/p>\n
B. The Bible is a book about sin.<\/p>\n
1. Genesis 1 & 2 sets forth man in his innocence.<\/p>\n
2. The remaining 1,187 chapters depict man as a sinner, and as one who is in need of grace – the salvation that can only be found in Christ.<\/p>\n
3. In this lesson I want us to go back in our minds to the garden of Eden, to a time when sin first entered the world, and notice some very important points that will help us in our daily walk as a Christian.<\/p>\n
DISCUSSION:<\/p>\n
A. SATAN ATTACKS GOD’S WORD<\/p>\n
1. Genesis 3:1<\/p>\n
2. Satan is trying to get Eve to doubt that God really means what He says.<\/p>\n
a. Satan seems to be saying, “Did God really say this, surely that’s not what He meant to say.”<\/p>\n
b. Or, “You must have misunderstood.”<\/p>\n
c. It may be that Satan was ridiculing God’s word.<\/p>\n
3. There was no misunderstanding about it, God gave the command in simple and plan terms.<\/p>\n
a. Genesis 2:16-17<\/p>\n
b. Eve even repeated the command verbally in Genesis 3:2-3<\/p>\n
4. This is exactly what Satan and his followers are trying to get people to do today – doubt God’s word.<\/p>\n
a. For example …. Mark 16:16<\/p>\n
b. “Let God be found true, but every man a liar” (Romans 3:4)<\/p>\n
c. Don’t allow Satan to trick you into thinking that God doesn’t really mean what He says.<\/p>\n
5. As a side note, you will notice in this verse that Satan comes in disguise.<\/p>\n
a. Eve felt no alarm<\/p>\n
b. Satan does not come with a wailing siren<\/p>\n
c. He disguises his purposes<\/p>\n
B. SATAN LIES<\/p>\n
1. Genesis 3:2-5 (v. 4)<\/p>\n
2. John 8:44<\/p>\n
a. Satan lied to Eve and she believed him.<\/p>\n
b. Satan is still lying today, and a great multitude is believing<\/p>\n
3. Notice that in Satan’s lie to Eve – he added only one little word<\/p>\n
a. God said they would die … Satan said they would “NOT”<\/p>\n
b. Today a good example of Satan lying by changing one little word is seen in James 2:24<\/p>\n
4. This is how Satan works on us today – through deception<\/p>\n
5. Satan tricks Eve into focusing on the “one tree” (the forbidden one) and to forgot about all of the other trees.<\/p>\n
a. Today, some focus on a moment of pleasure and forget about the other blessings<\/p>\n
b. Satan shifts our focus<\/p>\n
C. THE AVENUES OF TEMPTATION<\/p>\n
1. Genesis 3:6<\/p>\n
2. 1 John 2:15-17<\/p>\n
a. Eve saw that it “was good for food” – lust of the flesh<\/p>\n
b. Eve noticed that it “was pleasant to the eyes” – lust of the eyes<\/p>\n
c. Eve concluded it would “make one wise” – pride of life<\/p>\n
3. These are the same avenues that Satan used to tempt Jesus<\/p>\n
4. James 1:13-15<\/p>\n
a. God does not cause us to sin<\/p>\n
b. We sin when we give in to one of the avenues of sin<\/p>\n
5. Satan sets these avenues before us constantly<\/p>\n
D. ADAM WAS WITH EVE AND DIDN’T TRY TO STOP HER<\/p>\n
1. “She gave unto her husband WITH HER.”<\/p>\n
a. It seems that Adam may have been right there with Eve when she was tempted.<\/p>\n
b. Adam kept silent – He made a serious mistake<\/p>\n
2. We need to look out for one another, not as lording over anyone, but as concerned brethren<\/p>\n
a. Ezekiel 3:16-21<\/p>\n
b. We need to warn people of their sins for two reasons:<\/p>\n
1) To save a soul from death … James 5:19-20<\/p>\n
2) To save our soul from death (Ezekiel 3:18)<\/p>\n
E. NO ONE CAN HIDE FROM GOD<\/p>\n
1. Genesis 3:7-8<\/p>\n
2. Adam and Eve realized that they had sinned and wanted to hid from God.<\/p>\n
3. Many today are trying to hid from God<\/p>\n
a. Some think they can commit sin that no one but themselves know about<\/p>\n
b. Many in the day of judgment will cry for the mountains to fall on them to hid them from the wrath of God (Rev 6:12-17)<\/p>\n
4. Jeremiah 23:23-24<\/p>\n
5. 1 John 3:20<\/p>\n
6. There is an all seeing eye watching us.<\/p>\n
a. This ought to make us act a little better<\/p>\n
b. Children generally act better around their parents<\/p>\n
F. PASSING THE BUCK<\/p>\n
1. Genesis 3:9-13<\/p>\n
2. This is an age old problem, no one seems to want to take responsibility for their errors.<\/p>\n
a. This has been true from the very beginning<\/p>\n
b. Adam blamed Eve – Eve blamed the serpent<\/p>\n
3. Until we realize that we are to blame for our sins we will never do anything to resolve the problem<\/p>\n
a. Romans 14:12<\/p>\n
b. Matthew 12:36-37<\/p>\n
c. Matthew 16:27<\/p>\n
G. THE PROMISE OF THE MESSIAH<\/p>\n
1. Genesis 3:14-15<\/p>\n
2. Eve though man sinned, disobeyed God’s commands, He loved man so much that He had a plan for his salvation.<\/p>\n
a. Throughout the Old Testament we see this plan unfolding, until it was time for the plan to go into effect.<\/p>\n
b. Galatians 4:4-5<\/p>\n
1) God sent His Son at the perfect time<\/p>\n
2) God sent His Son to save the obedient before and after the cross<\/p>\n
3. Satan was going to bruise the heel of Jesus, i.e. give Him a minor blow – nailed to the cross.<\/p>\n
4. Christ, though, was going to bruise the head of Satan, i.e. give him a severe and mortal blow – His resurrection<\/p>\n
5. Our God has given us such a glorious and simple plan to follow<\/p>\n
H. PUNISHMENT COMES TO THOSE WHO DISOBEY GOD<\/p>\n
1. Genesis 3:16-19<\/p>\n
2. Eve was punished<\/p>\n
a. Pain in child birth<\/p>\n
b. Her husband was to rule over her<\/p>\n
3. Adam was punished<\/p>\n
a. He would have to battle weeds<\/p>\n
b. Food would no longer be freely provided<\/p>\n
c. Have to work for his food<\/p>\n
d. Die and return to dust<\/p>\n
4. Deuteronomy 28:1-6 … 28:15-19<\/p>\n
a. “IF” … “THEN”<\/p>\n
b. If we obey we are rewarded, but if we disobey we will be punished<\/p>\n
5. 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9<\/p>\n
