Text: Genesis 3

Preached Sunday 7/19/20 

The Problem v.1a

Satan is Real & Sin is Powerful 

"Crafty" 

Biblical Names for Satan: Destroyer, Adversary, Devil, Murderer, Father of Lies, Evil one, Prince of this world, etc. 

Satan hates God and God's people

Satan is no pushoever - you can NOT withstand his tactics on your own. 

The Plan v.1b-5

Satan speaks to Eve. Where was Adam? 

"Did God actually say?" - Satan is an imposter from the beginning

- Counterfit religion, self-rightousness, false Gospel, fake ministers

Satan purposely misquotes God - He refuses to use the personal name of God (YHWH) 

He is subtle and contradictory 

Eve blindly follows along and distorts the Word of God

Sin is a gradually fall 

Know and Obey the Word of God! 

The Peril. v.6-7

Man can not stand on our own

What you do with the Word of God matters supremely! 

Adam purposely disobeyed God - Romans 5

There is an urgent Gospel for an urgent problem! 

The greatest peril in the world today is SIN - not COVID 

Nakedness now becomes shameful

The Penance v.8-13

Adam and Eve hear God and immediately try to hide and cover themselves 

This is the beginning of religion - self rightousness 

God comes looking for Adam and Eve and calls them forth - Seeking and Saving that which is lost 

The Gospel is clear in Genesis 3! 

Each person must take the blame for our own sin. 

The Penalty v.14-19

Sin always comes with consequences. 

You can not sin and get away with it! 

The Provision. v.20-24

God always makes a way! 

Herein lies the true hope. 

A new name. v.20

A new clothing. v.21

A new home v.22-24

Have you received God's eternal provision?
