Journaling Through Genesis - 3:9-15

This study examines Genesis 3 as the foundational text for the proto-gospel, highlighting God's immediate initiative to seek out Adam and Eve after the fall. The analysis emphasizes that God's question, "Where are you?" reveals His omniscience and His role as a seeking Savior who confronts humanity with the conviction of sin. While Adam and Eve respond with fear, shame, and blame-shifting, God pronounces a curse on the serpent and introduces the promise of a Redeemer who will crush the serpent's head. This passage is presented as the first announcement of good news, establishing that salvation begins with the recognition of guilt and ends with the assurance of Christ's ultimate victory over evil.
