Introduction:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Man created and placed in the garden (Gen. 2:8), and given labor (v. 15).<\/p>\n

2. When given these instructions, man was then under LAW from God!<\/p>\n

3. The word of law (vv. 16-17), indicates man had freedom of will in the matter.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I.   Remember, God’s Influence, And Man’s, Was Not The Total Influence Present.<\/h2>\n

A. We’ve got God, and man.<\/p>\n

B. But Satan had come to earth (Rev. 12:9), to deceive the whole world!<\/p>\n

C. He makes his influence felt in approaching Eve (Gen. 3:1). Beguiling her with his subtlety (2 Cor. 11:3). He led her, and she and Adam violated the instructions God had given. She ate, and gave to her husband (Gen. 3:6).<\/p>\n

II.  We Now Ask, What Was This Behavior Called?<\/h2>\n

A. It was a step against the will of God, for God censures (Gen. 3:16-19).<\/p>\n

B. These, having knowledge only of God, now have participated in that which gives them knowledge of good AND evil!<\/p>\n

C. In 1 Timothy 2:14, the action called “TRANSGRESSION” — Going over, cutting across the will God gave.<\/p>\n

D. The common word: SIN! Defined: “Sin is the transgression of the law”<\/em> (1 John 3:4).<\/p>\n

III. We Have The Reality of Sin, It Has Made An Entry Into The World, And Among All Men Living.<\/h2>\n

A. We thus see it in Adam and Eve.<\/p>\n

B. And in their family — Cain (Gen. 4).<\/p>\n

C. And, in the generations to follow, to find the wickedness of man great in the earth (Gen. 6:5) — hearts on evil continually.<\/p>\n

D. Death by sin, and death unto all men for ALL HAVE SINNED (Rom. 5:12).<\/p>\n

E. The rule: Romans 3:23 “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God!”<\/em><\/p>\n

IV.  It Will Help Us To See Some Facts About Sin.<\/h2>\n

A. Transgression of the law, as we have noted (1 John 3:4).<\/p>\n

B. Encouragement to sin can come from many sources; finally, it must reside in one’s own lust, and giving in to enticement (James 1:14-15).<\/p>\n

C. Men can be in service to sin (Rom. 6:17).<\/p>\n

D. Sin can indwell the person (Rom. 7:17).<\/p>\n

V.   At The End…<\/h2>\n

A. At the end of a sin working within one, directing one, there is separation from God — spiritual death (Eph. 2:1).<\/p>\n

B. At the end of a life given to sin, there is eternal separation from God — into Heaven, nothing of defilement will enter (Rev. 21:27).<\/p>\n

C. The solution: Get rid of the sin, and live above it, contrary to it; live for God!<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. That is possible through the Christ, the gospel, and one’s obedience to it.<\/p>\n

2. Faith, repentance, confession and baptism into Christ completes the alien’s obedience; the baptism is for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38).<\/p>\n

3. Now, live the godly life, guided by the Word!<\/p>\n
