SERIES: THE GENESIS EFFECT: How We Got Here From There
MESSAGE: A VERY BAD DAY
TEXT: Genesis 3:1-7
SYNOPSIS: We'll look at the anatomy of sin. God's original instruction to Adam was generous and protective (an act of grace). But it must be said that the thing we can't have always seems to take up the middle of our vision (the tree of the knowledge of good and evil planted in the middle of the garden). The original sin has within it the elements characteristic of all sin thereafter: 1) Confusion or ignorance of what God says, 2) a basic doubting of God's goodness 3) the belief that a choice won't hurt me, 4) the taking hold of something illegitimately, and 5) the resulting shame, fear, desire to hide, and disconnect.
