Genesis 3

The Fall

September 30, 2018
Not long after being created, Adam and Eve chose to reject their Maker and plunge themselves—and all their children—into sin. God’s response to them is both heartbreaking and hopeful.
The point of this passage is that God is so great and so worthy of worship and trust and obedience that a single act of disobedience against him—a single bite of of a fruit—deserves to have the whole creation come crashing down in response.
Because of their sin, Adam and Eve needed to be sent away from their home. The rest of the Bible tells us that none of us have truly been at home from that point on.
