Genesis chapter 3
3:1 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?
3:2 The woman said to the serpent, We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,
3:3 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.
3:4 You will not certainly die, the serpent said to the woman.
3:5 For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.
3:6 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.
3:7 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.
3:8 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.
3:9 But the Lord God called to the man, Where are you?
3:10 He answered, I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.
3:11 And he said, Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?
3:12 The man said, The woman you put here with meshe gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.
3:13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, What is this you have done? The woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.
3:14 So the Lord God said to the serpent, Because you have done this, Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life.
3:15 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.
3:16 To the woman he said, I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.
3:17 To Adam he said, Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, You must not eat from it, Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life.
3:18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.
3:19 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.
3:20 Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.
3:21 The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.
3:22 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.
3:23 So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.
3:24 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.
Genesis Chapter 3 Tells the story of that paradise lost; the result of the first willful human sin. The consequences: immediate shame and lifelong separation from their home with Our Heavenly Father. This chapter is really telling us about how Satan does the tricks that he does and what Our Heavenly Father does when you follow Satan instead of him when you are a child of his. Also Our Heavenly Father will take things away if you decide to disobey. That does not mean he will do like he did with Adam and Eve, but he will correct his children in any way he sees fit. This chapter tells us about how sin entered the world. It also shows you how sin enters your life. Adam and Eve chose to do what they knew was wrong. They chose themselves over Our Heavenly Father, and by doing that, they damaged themselves. Both Adam and Eve were enticed by the gardener to do the act, the gardener turned out to be the adversary. Adam and Eve are living in union with God in the Garden of Eden, and they botch things up after eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil after God explicitly tells them not to. God boots them out, and from then on humanity is forced to toil with the land. The book of Genesis shows as you go 4,5 and 6 it will show partly how the end of the world will look. We will take it as long as it is to show how it will come about.
Closing Prayer; Heavenly Father we thank you for your word in the book of Genesis chapter 3. Help us to remember to obey your commands and help us to want to become children of yours and follow your will for our lives. In the name of Our lord and savior we pray.
This prayer below is also called the sinners prayer, and it gets people to.become a child of Our Heavenly Father or strengthens thier faith within him whenever they are already a child of Our Heavenly Father
Prayer for salvation; Lord Jesus; Please come into my heart as my Lord and Savior.Take
complete control of my life and help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and I know you will answer my prayers. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
