Fall of Man, Genesis 2:25-3:7
Genesis 3 is a pivotal moment in Scripture when Adam and Eve chose to believe the lies of Satan rather than trust the will of God. Satan’s work has always been to draw us away from God—through doubt, half-truths, and deception. Adam and Eve’s choice in the garden was not just their story; it’s ours too. As Romans 3:23 reminds us, “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
To understand our own sin, we must first understand the first sin. What does their rebellion teach us about the danger of Satan’s lies? At the heart of every temptation is an invitation to reject God and trust the deceiver instead of the Creator. This text teaches three vital lessons: the need to trust God’s wisdom, trust His word, and trust His design.
