Scripture: Gen 3:1 – 4:8
Introduction:
Summary and Goal:
In the previous two sessions, we saw that God created everything good, including people as the pinnacle of creation. Adam and Eve were made in God’s image and instructed to rule over the world and worship God through their work, rest, and relationships with one another and with Him. As we will see in this session, that didn’t last. Adam and Eve chose to sin against God in open defiance of His goodness and loving provision for them. Their sin had drastic consequences as it brought death to all humanity and ruptured our created purpose. But as dark as that moment was, we will see that it was pregnant with hope—hope that could only come from God in His promise to one day send Someone who would make everything right again.
Theological Theme:
People sinned against God and ruptured our created purpose, but God has provided
forgiveness in Christ Jesus.
Christ Connection:
God promised that one of Eve’s offspring would crush the head of the serpent. Jesus
is the promised One who defeated sin and death once and for all.
“ There is more mercy in
Christ than sin in us.”
–Richard Sibbes (1577-1635)
Missional Application:
Because we have been forgiven through faith in Christ and given His righteousness,
we trust in God and His grace as we fight against sin in our lives and proclaim the
reason for our hope found in Christ Jesus.
