Explaining Sin And The Fall

One sin. That's all it took. In our day, sin is treated casually - as a marketing device (think 'Sin City'). But ONE SIN is all it took for man to be thrown out of the garden. One sin is all it took for chaos to sweep the created realm. This tells us two things: 1) sin must be really bad, and 2) God must be really holy. Questions That We'll Answer: A) The Serpent's Deception & The First Act of Disobedience: What lies and half-truths did the serpent use to entice Eve? How did both Adam and Eve's decision to eat the forbidden fruit constitute disobedience and a rejection of God's authority? B) Immediate & Lasting Consequences of The Fall: What were the instant repercussions of their sin, leading to shame, hiding, and broken fellowship with God? How did the curses pronounced in Genesis 3 affect humanity and creation, and how do we still experience the effects of the Fall today? C) Guilt, Blame & The Promise of Redemption: Why did Adam and Eve resort to blaming others instead of accepting responsibility for their actions? In what verse is the first glimmer of hope for humanity's redemption found, pointing forward to a future deliverer who would conquer evil?
