3. CREATION OF ADAM
Genesis 2 :7
then the LORD God formed the man of dust
from the ground and breathed into
his nostrils the breath of life, and the man
became a living creature.
Created man in his own image
Formed him from dust of the ground and
breathed life
Gave him dominion over all creatures
Placed him in a Garden
He did not know good and evil
4. THE GARDEN OF EDEN
the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east
LORD God made to spring up every tree that is
pleasant to the sight and good for food.
4 Rivers
The Pishon - flowed around the whole land of
Havilah- gold, bdellium and onyx stone
The Gihon - flowed around the whole land of
Cush
The Tigris - east of Assyria
The Euphrates.
God put man in the garden of Eden to work it and
keep it.
Tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil
5. CREATION OF EVE
Genesis 2: 21-23
So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the
man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and
closed up its place with flesh. 22 And the rib that
the LORD God had taken from the man he made into
a woman and brought her to the man. 23 Then the
man said,
“This at last is bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called Woman,
because she was taken out of Man
6. GOD’S FIRST COMMANDMENT
Genesis 2:16,17
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “You
may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not
eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely
die.”
God gave Adam and Eve freewill
He wanted to test their obedience
He gave them choice to obey or disobey
When we obey God we honor him and he is
pleased with us and He rewards us
7. THE FALL
Serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field
It was also one of Gods creation
It was cunning, deceitful, could talk, reason man, knew God’s
command
Serpent: “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in
the garden’?”
Woman : “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the
garden, but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree
that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest
you die.’”
Serpent : “You will not surely die. For God knows that when you
eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God,
knowing good and evil.”
LIE
8. THE SOURCES OF TEMPTATION
Genesis 3:6
“It was pleasant to the eyes”
“It was good for food”
“It was a tree to be desired to make one wise
1John 2:15,16 Do not love the world or the things
in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the
Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the
desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and
pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the
world.
Lust of the flesh, eyes and Pride of life
9. THE CONSEQUENCES
Hide from God
Blame others
Punishment –
The arrival of sin & death
Removal from the Garden of Eden
and from the presence of GOD
Sin & death is passed on to all
humankind
For Serpent - your belly you shall go,
and dust you shall eat
all the days of your life
10. What is sin? - 1 John 3:4
“Sin is the transgression of the
law”
Transgression - an act that goes
against law
Disobedience toward God
Sin separates us from God
THE SIN
