Sermon Outline:

Genesis 3:6–9 (NKJV)

6So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.

7Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.

8And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

9Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”

I Man’s feeble effort to lessen the consequences of sin

II God’s initiative to save undeserving sinners

Genesis 3:14–15 (NKJV)

14So the Lord God said to the serpent: …

15And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.”

Sin is a thief
It will rob your soul of its life.
It will rob God of His glory.

Sin is a murderer.
It stabbed our father Adam.
It slew our purity.

Sin is a traitor
It rebels against the King of heaven and earth.

C.H. Spurgeon
