Series on Genesis on Sin
![from a state of innocence to our present predicament. THE DOCTRINE/ THEOLOGY OF SIN Genesis 3:1-7 Pastor and Teacher Charles E. Whisnant How is the idea of sin faring in preaching in the United States today? We might not be surprised to discover that preaching about sin seems bothersome for many contemporary pastors. Of all the theological topics inviting discussion from the pulpit, there is probably none more potentially distasteful to modern sensibilities than traditional notions of sin and the eternal consequences for those not
saved.
In contrast to traditional teachings about sin, modern secular ideologies teach people that they can control their own destinies, determine their own characters, and reliably make choices on instinct. How, then, do today's pastors
sell
the idea of sin in a secular age? I'm convinced the opening chapters of Genesis are not optional. They establish the vital foundation for everything we believe as Christians. Sadly, it is a foundation that is being systematically undermined by the very institutions that should be most vigorously defending it. More and more Christian educational institutions, apologists, and theologians are abandoning faith in the literal truth of Genesis 1-3. Scripture offers the only accurate explanations that can be found anywhere about how our race began, where our moral sense originated, why we cannot seem to do what our own consciences tells us is right, and how we can be redeemed from this hopeless situation. Scripture is not merely the best of several possible explanations. It is the Word of God. . GENESIS 3 is an accurate historical record of what actually happened in the garden. I want to first give an introduction to the chapter before we get into the chapter itself. Genesis Chapter 3 is familiar to us. It is a chapter that deals with the serpent in the garden, and temptation, and forbidden fruit, and a woman who was deceived, and a man who followed her in violating God's word and God's command. Then it talks about the curse, and the price that was paid for that disobedience. Familiar to almost everybody, to one degree or another, is the record of Genesis Chapter 3. And at the very outset, I want to just lay down a simple statement that we're going to build on all the way through, and that is this: Most people who comment on Genesis 3 turn it into something other than an historical account of a real event. It is as the word of God says it is. This Chapter may well be the most important chapter in the Bible. Certainly, it is true that if you don't understand this chapter, you don't understand the rest of the Bible. You cannot understand the solution to the problem, unless you understand the problem. You cannot understand the cure unless you understand the diagnosis. You will never be able to understand God's remedy for this world, if you don't understand the malady under which this world lives and functions. This chapter explains absolutely Everything about our universe, and about life in that universe, and all of us who live in it. It explains everything about why things are the way they are, why we are the way we are, and what God is doing in history, and why He's doing it in terms of salvation. Genesis 3 explains the human dilemma. All the problems in the universe have their origin in the events of this historic account. -- physical problems, spiritual problems, moral problems, social problems, economic problems, political problems -- all the problems in the universe have their origin in the events of this historic account. This chapter then is the foundation of any true and accurate world view. And without this foundation, every and any world view is utterly wrong. If you do not understand the origin of sin and its force based on Genesis Chapter 3, then your understanding of the world is wrong. Everything then is misunderstood; Everything is misevaluated; Everything is misread; Everything is misdiagnosed, and Hopelessly incurable. You see, if you go back to the end of Chapter 1, it says:
And God saw all that He had made.
And He had made all that has ever been made, so He saw the whole created universe.
And, behold, it was very good.
When God completed the original creation, everything was
very good.
But truthfully, folks, everything in our world now is very bad. It is anything but good. And it has been anything but good through all of human history. When God completed his perfect creation, it was
very good
because: There was no disorder. There was no chaos. There was no conflict. There was no struggle. There was no pain. There was no discord. There was no disease. There was no decline.
