This is a horror story. To be in sin and without God is the most horrific of all possibilities. The order of authority in Creation was turned upside down and mankind was left hanging in desperation.
- Adam and Eve had responsibility to honor, maintain, and obey God’s Word.
- They had to respond in a Godly manner to temptation.
- Since they did neither, there was no recovery for them.
You and I have that same responsibility. We have the same expectation to respond well. And for us, through Christ Jesus, there is recovery.
Thoughts to Consider
- Responsibility, Reaction, Recovery
- God gave Adam & Eve responsibility over themselves and the animals
- Adam neglected his responsibility to God and Eve
- The serpent took dominion over an lied to Adam & Eve
- Adam & Eve reacted to the lie by wanting the fruit
- Adam & Eve could have called God for help!
- Adam & Eve felt different / shame
- God provided punishment but also a way of salvation
— Genesis 3: 1-7
