Dr. Meiman Lai Saidi
Preface: Session Truth by Bill Manning, he said that sin robs us of the rich relationship we were created to have with God, others, and creation. Adam and Eve were blaming and shaming that facing the consequences; Life in the Garden of Eden must have been wonderful, yet Adam and Eve gave it up for a moment of ill-considered gratification and disobedience to God brought a severe penalty. This week's lesson exposes "The Destructive Effects of Sin"
Scripture Reading³Ð¥@¬ö Genesis 3:1-9
- Now
the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, ''You must not eat from any tree in the garden''?" - The
woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, - but
God did say, ''You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.'' " - "You
will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. - "For
God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

| - When the woman saw that the fruit of the
tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. - Then the eyes of both of them were opened,
and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. - Then the man and his wife heard the sound
of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. - But the LORD God called to the man,
"Where are you?"

A. Look Where You Are: ¬Ýªü §A¦b¨º¨à? Genesis 3:1-9
The sin of Adam and Eve disobedience to God that they have done what God has expressly forbidden, they cannot bring themselves to face Him. They were made to live in God's presence, but now they are fleeing from Him in fear. All that they find in their hiding place is darkness, fear and fig leaves to cover themselves, but it is impossible to hide from God.
God was drawn to Adam and Eve not by a desire to punish them, nor by a need for satisfaction, but by love. This same God sees us, and knows us, and loves us. And He comes to our hiding places too.
Why should God cry out such words, "Where are you (v. 9)?" if God knows everything? Because this question is not spoken for God's benefit but it was spoken for the benefit of Adam and Eve; when God asked them, "Where are you?" He was saying, "Look where you are! See where your sins have brought you." That question to face up that had been brought on by their sins.
B. What is This You Have Done? §A§@ªº¬O¬Æ»ò¨Æ©O? Genesis 3:10-13
- He answered, "I
heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid."

| - And he said,
"Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?" - The man said,
"The woman you put here with me--she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it." - Then the LORD God
said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."

Adam was pointing his finger at Eve and saying, "It was her fault!" 3:12.
To Eve the Lord said, "What is this you have done?" (3:13). And Eve followed the example set by Adam. She said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate" (3:13b).
Instead of admitting her guilt, she blamed the serpent for what she had done. All of us have had the painful experience of being unjustly shamed.
C. Facing the Consequences Genesis 3:14-24 §A¬J§@¤F³o¨Æ¡B´N¥²¨ü©G¶A¡B Because You Have Done This: - So the LORD God
said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. - And I will put
enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.

said, "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." - To Adam he said,
"Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, ''You must not eat of it,'' "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. - It will produce
thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. - By the sweat of
your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return." - Adam named his
wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.

| - The LORD God made
garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. - And the LORD God
said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." - So the LORD God
banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. - After he drove
the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

When Satan spoke to Eve through the serpent, he said, "You will not certainly die" (Genesis 3:4), for God's judgment against Adam and Eve was the certainty of death (3:19b). It was Jesus who said, "When [the devil] lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies" (John 8:44). In the Garden of Eden, God announced that a day will come when the offspring of woman will crush the serpent's head (Genesis 3:15). This is a promise of Christ's ultimate victory over Satan. Until that day comes, Satan remains our enemy. He continues to lie and tempt humans to think that their way is better than God's. The willfulness that rejects God's way is the very essence of sin, and sin always has consequences. As a consequence of her rebellion, the woman would experience anguish in bearing and raising children. Sin would distort and impair her relationship with her husband (3:16). God told Adam that because of his sin, his toil to work the land and produce food would be very difficult, and death would be unavoidable (3:17-19). CONCLUSIONS: µ²½×: God's anger is an expression of grace, it brings us to repent. It is quite possible that believers are more familiar with God's anger than are unbelievers. The Scriptures tell us, "The Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son" (Hebrews 12:6). God is the initiator³Ð©l¥D. He knows everything about us and still loves us.
God gave Adam and Eve a second chance. The same gracious love by which He saved Adam and Eve. "Give thanks to the Lord for he is love and never give up! QUESTIONS: - After
eating the forbidden fruit, what were the immediate consequences of their actions? ([1v. 7]. [2] [v. 8].) - Adam
and Eve felt shame and fear following their sin. Why does sin always bring feelings such as shame and fear? - What
does it mean to you that God does not force you into serving and obeying Him? Is Genesis 3 trying to tell us something about human nature and a problem that we all have with regard to self-sovereignty? If so, what do we need to do about it? - Where
do you see God's grace at work in this story? - How
we can stop the blame game and take ownership of our own actions?
SUGGESTIONS: 1. Read 1st Corinthians 10:12, "if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don''t fall! ©Ò¥H¦Û¤v¥H¬°¯¸±o꺡B¶·nÂÔ·V¡B§K±o¶^Ë¡C13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. §AÌ©Ò¹J¨£ªº¸Õ±´¡BµL«D¬O¤H©Ò¯à¨üªº¡B¯«¬O«H¹êªº¡B¥²¤£¥s§Ąü¸Õ±´¹L©ó©Ò¯à¨üªº¡D¦b¨ü¸Õ±´ªº®ÉÔ¡BÁ`nµ¹§A̶}¤@±ø¥X¸ô¡B¥s§A̯à§Ô¨ü±o¦í¡C" MUSIC: Assurance of Victory music by Dr. Meiman Lai Saidi; Words from 1 Corinthian 10:12-13 Remind yourselves that through Christ, we can have victory over sin. We need to walk faithfully with Christ. 1. Ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and transform your life. 2. Invite the Holy Spirit to take control of your life. 3. Stay close to God by prayer, worship, and Bible study. 4. Choose entertainment wisely. 5. Get away from tempting situations immediately. 6. Find a Christian friend to be an accountability partner. |
