Genesis 3

Satan’s Tactics

1.  He twists the truth
 

“Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree 
in the garden?’”                                    Genesis 3:1  

2.  He makes God look more severe than He is.

3.  He isolates us.  

4.  He wants us to fixate on sin.  

“And when the woman saw that the tree was good 
for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and 
a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of 
the fruit thereof, and did eat…”           Genesis 3:6  

5.  He draws others into our sin.

The Consequences of Sin

1.   The Imago Dei is marred.  

2.   Shame

3.   Alienation

4.   Fear

      “I heard you and I was afraid, and I hid.” 
                                                                 Genesis 3:10

5.  Blame  

6.  Pain  

The human condition after sin entered in is
 “depravity”.
