Focus Verses: John 8:31-32 (NKJV)
Q #1. Why do we need to be set free?
Answer: Genesis 3:1-7 (NKJV)
Satan deceived Eve into believing Three Things:
- that the tree was good for food
- that it was pleasant to the eyes
- that it was a tree desirable to make one wise
. . . Then, she took of its fruit and ate.
Ultimately, when Eve “took of its fruit and ate”, she opened the curse
gate of sickness, sorrow, suffering, fear, cancer, guilt, aging, and death
upon the human race. This is the result of doubting God and His love.
1 Timothy 2:14 (NKJV)
Q #2. Was there any other fallout from the Fall in the Garden
besides what occurred after Eve “took of its fruit and ate”?
