Devilish doubt and shortsightedness brings sin and death into the world (Genesis 3)

A) The serpent brings doubt about God to Eve (Genesis 3:1-5)

•  - God put Adam in a beautiful garden to work and care under freedom and a protective rule don't eat from the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat you will surely die. (Genesis 2:15-17)
• Principle: taking the action brings the consequence.
•  - Not wanting to come under the authority of God's word. Wanting to be equal to God (be like God). Pride in a desire to rule. Serpent refutes God's integrity ("you won't die).
• Sin takes hold when we doubt God's word and goodness. Jesus was tempted but knew God's word and stood firm in his knowledge (Matthew 4). We know Jesus suffered but didn't sin (Heb 1-2).
• 11 tactics the devil uses to keep people from God
  
• Letting doubt about God take root, enables us to "devalue our relationship with God." BSF Notes. I need to see life from God's view and start a relationship with God today. When we see our value in God's eyes our lives change (Psalm 139)

B) Woman sees good nourishment, desires wisdom - so they ate and eyes were opened - naked and ashamed (Gen 3:6-7)

•  - She should have just asked God for wisdom (James 1:5), receiving pure, peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and GOOD FRUITS, impartial and sincere (James 3:17)
•  - Finding wisdom, getting understanding gains and profits favor, nothing you DESIRE compares with wisdom (Proverbs 3:13-18). Long life, great riches and honor.
•  - The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction (Proverbs 1:7)
•  - LOOK carefully how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use fo the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the LORD is.  (Eph 5:15-17, Romans 12:1-2)
• Thank you, God for showing me my heart and sinful roots within me. Help me to be clear-minded and self-controlled so that I can pray, love each other deeply... let you're will be done within me. 
• Solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. (Heb 5:14)

Barrier against temptations God's Judgement, and God's goodness (James 1:13-18)

C) Original sin is evidenced by our natural desire to hide our true selves and blame others (Gen 8-13)

8-10) Adam and Eve hide, God asks "Where are you?", "Hiding, naked and afraid"

11-13) God asks, "Who told you that you were naked? Did you disobey?", "It's the woman you gave me", "Serpent deceived me"

D) God promises bring blessings and curses, revealing his good character

14-15) God cursed the serpent to crawl on belly, her offspring will strike your head

 - He washed their feet and opened their minds:  - Romans 16:20, The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. 1 Cor 15:25, For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.(1 cor 15:27, eph 1:22, heb 2:8)

16) God to woman, pain in pregnancy/birth - desire control, but husband rules

17-18) God to man, cursed is the ground because of you, life; a struggle to live, thorns/thistles, grain

19) Sweat to eat, dust you were made, until dust you will return.

20-21) Adam named wife Eve, she's the mother of all who live, God sacrificed animal made clothes for them

 - Rags to Riches, how the Holy Spirit changes us everyday

22-24) God said "human beings have become like us" banished from the garden, flaming sword back and forth guards the way to the tree of life

Principle: Eternal death is only for those who refuse of Gospel of Jesus Christ.
