Genesis Lesson 3-3 - The fall of man and the Covenant of Redemption

Until this chapter, the men lived in a world in peace and harmony with its environment, its like, and his Creator. The last verse of chapter 2, verse 25, is a statement that summarizes this beatitude - "The man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed." But that would change.

Genesis 3:1-13 The temptation and fall

Satan in the form of a serpent, came to the woman and tried to eat of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Since Adam probably told him what God had said, rather than the hearing itself, it was lower on the link and most vulnerable of his cunning. Satan has strengthened its appeal by boldly and directly calling God a liar when he denied that she would die if she ate. The first lie the liar himself (John 8:44) has denied the arrest. Instead, the liar said, would be informed and Eve become like God, knowing good and evil. The temptation was that God was withholding something she enjoys very much. Satan create an appetite for something she did not. John described it as "the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the boasting of what he has and does." (I John 2:16)

Since it does not seem to be any immediate effects of death after eating from the tree, she persuaded Adam to eat too. Paul said: "For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived one, she was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner." (I Timothy 2:14). However, the tsunami swept consequences in more than two of them. The awareness that they were naked came first. So in a sense, their eyes were opened. The devil was right after all - you "know good and evil." Shame on their own nakedness are shocked. This was indeed the immediate result of the flood of guilt assaulted their conscience. They have now seen another and gets completely different than they had before. The effect of guilt following powerful innocence has probably been such a trauma in their feelings, fears, and physical reactions they must feel completely vulnerable, exposed, and threatened the other presence in the media we all know so well. They wanted to hide this shameful change each other. Their complicity in this whole relationship has been affected, and they wanted to reach for anything that can cover them the other point of view and the scrutiny of Him who gave them the command not to eat. Shame on nudity is one of the permanent effects of being left on the psyche of mankind as a constant reminder of guilt and condemnation of sin we are all born as. This is an incentive to recognize the continuing, though little of it for what it is.

Thus began the pattern that every sinner innate practiced since when he has knowingly done wrong. Firstly, they have covered and concealed themselves with fig leaves in an attempt to conceal guilt. They hid from each other and God that created them. They tried to do what they had found. We do the same thing today, we just do not use fig leaves to do. We deny or rationalize or intellectualize the seriousness of the things we did. Sometimes the guilt is so serious that people are trying to stifle with drugs. Others were finally falling into all sorts of personality disorders such as schizophrenia, split personality, etc. These are just fig leaves to hide behind instead of admitting to confess his sins and.

The second thing they did - when the Lord asked if they had eaten of the tree - was to place the blame elsewhere, but on themselves. When God asked Adam and Eve, "Have you eaten of the tree that I commanded you not to eat?" They sho.
