Adam and Eve Sinned

Outline:

Intro

Last week we talked about God being the Creator of all things, His creation, and how we were made in His image.

This week we are talking about sin.

Sin

Genesis 3:1-7 (CSB)

1 Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the wild animals that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You can’t eat from any tree in the garden’?”

2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit from the trees in the garden.

3 But about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God said, ‘You must not eat it or touch it, or you will die.’ ”

4 “No! You will certainly not die,” the serpent said to the woman.

5 “In fact, God knows that when you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

6 The woman saw that the tree was good for food and delightful to look at, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom. So she took some of its fruit and ate it; she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.

7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

Sin = disobeying God’s commands

Adam and Eve ate of the tree God told them not to eat of. They disobeyed His command.

Because of Adam and Eve’s sin, we all are born into sin.

Romans 5:12 (NLT)

12 When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned.

Bottom Line:

Sin is choosing my way and disobeying God.
