RELATIONSHIPS BROKEN

GENESIS 3

Adam and Eve's transgression of God's command

resulted in dire consequences, both short-term and

long-term, for them and all of humanity.

God's creation was good (Gen. 1:4, 10, 12, 18, 21, 25), and with the addition

of the first man and woman, and it was good (v. 31). This couple resided

in the garden of Eden, a glorious paradise for our first ancestors to tend

and grow as they walked in communion with their glorious Creator. But

then evil slithered into the garden of Eden and set off a chain of events

that has affected humanity's experience with creation and the Creator

to this day.

Points to consider:

✞   Sin is transgressing God's commands.
     * How do temptation and sin relate to doubts about

        God and His Word?

✞   Sin brings shame and harm.

     * What are some ways we try to cover up and run

        from our sin and shame?

✞   Sin comes with a great cost.

     * What are some ways people experience the cost of

        sin in their lives?
