Eschatology: Guaranteed Triumph (Genesis 3:15)

The Lord made very clear to Adam and Eve that if they fail to protect or obey the Lord they will die. We find that they do in fact fail, they do eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but they still walk out of the garden of Eden. Did the Lord make a false threat? What is death and the intention of death? Is the Gospel promised only through the prophets or do we find a Gospel promise earlier in Scripture?

Sojourning Under the Sun: Exile (Genesis 3)

Adam is in the garden of Eden, called to honor the Lord, and love the Lord.  There is a tree that God placed in Eden which will confer upon him the knowledge of Good and Evil.  Is it wrong to eat of this tree just because the Lord says so?  Is the Lord holding something back from Adam that would be good for him?  How bad would it be for Adam to eat of the tree?  What would ultimately happen to the human race and this world?  This chapter in Genesis truly is a history changing moment.

Deceived then Relieved (Genesis 3:15)

Do we think about what it means when we say things like, “Jesus is the reason for the season?”  There is no doubt that Christ’s entrance into history is significant, but why is it significant?  What does it teach us about God being Sovereign and man not being as sovereign as man thinks?
