WORD
Genesis 3: 5
Satan: “For God knows that in the day
you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and
you will be like God, knowing good and
evil”
God: “In the day you eat of the fruit, you
shall die”
RESULTS IN THE DISTRUST OF GOD’S
WORD
The Fall
“she (Eve) saw that the tree was good for
food, that it was pleasant to the eyes and
the tree desirable to make one wise, she
took of its fruit and ate” v.6
‘then the eyes of both were opened, and they
knew they were naked; and they sewed fig
leaves together and made themselves
covering….” v.7
RESULTS IN THE DISTRUST OF GOD’S

“And they heard the sound of the LORD God
walking in the garden in the cool of the day,
and Adam and his wife hid themselves from
the presence of the LORD God among the trees
of the Garden” v.8
‘I heard your voice in the garden, and I was
afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself”
v.10

The Word of God is the Word of Life;
“wonderful Word of life”

RUPTURES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
GOD AND MAN
VV. 8-16, 23-24
“In the day you eat of the fruit, you shall
die”
Sin leads to shame, guilt and fear
“Therefore, the LORD God sent him out of
the garden of Eden to till the ground from
which he was taken. So he drove out the
man; and He placed cherubim at the east
of Garden of Eden, and a flaming sword
which turned every way, to guard the way
to the tree of life.” vv 23-24
RUINS GOD'S “GOOD” CREATION

VV17-
“Cursed is the ground because of you; through
painful toil you will eat of it all the days of
your life. It will produce thorns and thistles
for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.
By the sweat of your brow you will eat your
food until you return to the ground, since from
it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust
you will return.”
Genesis 3: 17-19
RUINS GOD'S “GOOD” CREATION
To the woman he said, “I will greatly
increase your pain in childbearing; with
pain you will give birth to children. Your
desire will be for your husband, and he
will rule over you.”
v. 16
“…until you return to the ground, since from
it you were taken; for dust your are and to
dust you will return,”
v.19
RUINS GOD'S “GOOD” CREATION
So the LORD God said to the serpent, “because of
you have done this, cursed are you above all the
livestock and all the wild animals! You will
crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the
days of your life.” v.14
“And I will put enmity between you and the
woman, and between your offspring (seed)
and hers; he will crush your head, and you
will strike his heel.” v.15
