【The Fall】The Story of God in the Bookends of the Bible

I. SATAN’S TEMPTATION
Genesis 3.1-5
Now the serpent was more crafty than every other animal of the field which Jehovah God had made. And he said to the woman, Did God really say, You shall not eat of any tree of the garden? And the woman said to the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; But of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, You shall not eat of it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die. And the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die! For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will become like God, knowing good and evil.

2 Corinthians 11.3
But I fear lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your thoughts would be corrupted from the simplicity and the purity toward Christ.

II. MAN’S FALL

Genesis 3.6-8
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desired to make oneself wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate. And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves. And they heard the sound of Jehovah God walking about in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah God among the trees of the garden.

Romans 5.12, 19
Therefore just as through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin, death; and thus death passed onto all men because all have sinned…For just as through the disobedience of one man the many were constituted sinners…

Romans 7.20
But if what I do not will, this I do, it is no longer I that work it out but sin that dwells in me.

III. GOD’S RESPONSE

Genesis 3.9
And Jehovah God called to the man and said to him, Where are you?

Genesis 3.15
And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed; He will bruise you on the head, but you will bruise him on the heel.

Genesis 3.20-21
And the man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living. And Jehovah God made coats of skin for Adam and for his wife and clothed them.

1 John 3.8
For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

Revelation 20.10
And the devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where also the beast and the false prophet were; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
