Witnessing Christ in the Old Testament: The Fall

The interns from Truth in Love Ministry—Caleb, Aaron, Ethan, and Noah—continue their takeover of the Witnessing Christ Podcast with the next episode in their new series, Christ in the Old Testament. As Latter-day Saints work through the Old Testament this year, this series walks alongside those readings to show how every chapter ultimately points to Jesus Christ.In this episode, the interns turn to Genesis chapters 3–5, exploring the Fall into sin and its devastating consequences. They unpack Satan’s deception in the Garden, humanity’s loss of innocence, and the immediate effects of sin—shame, blame, separation, and death. But at the center of the Fall is not just bad news. In Genesis 3:15, God makes the first gospel promise, revealing that the Seed of the woman will crush the serpent’s head. The interns show how this promise points directly to Jesus, who comes to undo what Adam destroyed.In this episode, you’ll hear:Why the Fall is a tragic rebellion against God—not a necessary or “good” step forward.How Genesis 3:15 serves as the first clear promise of Christ in Scripture.What Scripture teaches about sin, death, and humanity’s separation from God.Key differences between biblical Christianity and LDS theology regarding the Fall.How Romans 5 explains Jesus as the Second Adam who reverses the curse of sin.Practical ways to use Genesis 3–5 to point LDS friends and family to Christ alone for salvation.This episode reminds listeners that while humanity fell into sin through Adam, God immediately stepped in with a promise of redemption. From the very beginning, salvation is God’s work—fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who restores what was lost in the Fall.Share this podcast with your Christian friends and subscribe on your favorite podcasting platform!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
