Genesis - "In The Beginning"

12/23/2025

Good morning Margarita.

Just finished reading Genesis 1 - 3.

Wonderful reminder of the goodness of God and the grace of God; because He made man in His image which was perfect.

Adam had a pure relationship with God for he was created “perfect” and placed in a perfect world where everything was “good”.

Here is my insight from chapter 3:

1. Genesis 3:4 - the serpent’s plan and purpose, was to destroy all the “good” that was created.

2. The serpent’s lie brought sin, (and a curse upon all the earth),

2 Genesis 3:7

Eve wanted to be wise, but the lie and her disobedience brought them shame. They were no longer pure or perfect.

They gave up their freedom and perfect world.

“What would a man give in exchange for his soul?

Mark 8:37

3. Adam’s disobedience brought “death” to this world.

Verse 3:21 - God made a covering for their sin by sacrificing an animal that would cover their sin and shame.

4. Genesis 3:23

Their disobedience broke the sweet and holy relationship that they both had with God, 

5. They were separated from the Presence of God and sent out from the holy and perfect garden of Eden, where they walked and talked and saw God.

What a huge price to pay when we want to sin!
