At the Fall, Jesus Christ was prophesied!
Adam and Eve’s Encounter (1-6)
- They could do anything but eat from the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil
- A serpent, used by Satan, speaks to Eve
- At first, she overcame the serpent’s temptations, but she continued to listen
- They both ate the fruit - sin enters the world!
- Immediately, their eyes were opened
- They were ashamed and fearful
- The imago dei was corrupted within them
- God walked through the garden, and they hid from Him
- “… instead of being found in the place of worship, they are hidden among the trees…” - Adam Clarke
- God knew of their disobedience, yet He still called for them
- “HE shall bruise your head…”
- “For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.” - 1 Corinthians 15:21-22
