Genesis 3
We begin with Adam and Eve living in the Garden of Eden with only one command: not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The serpent tempts Eve, questioning God’s word and suggesting God is withholding something good. Eve adds to the command by saying they must not even touch the tree, then sees the fruit as good, eats it, and gives it to Adam, who also eats.
Their eyes are opened, and they feel shame, making coverings and hiding from God. When confronted, Adam blames Eve and God, while Eve blames the serpent. God pronounces consequences: the serpent will crawl and be crushed by the future seed of the woman (a prophecy of Christ); the woman will face pain in childbirth and tension in marriage; the man will toil for food, and death will come to all.
Despite judgment, God shows grace—He provides garments of animal skin to cover their shame, signifying the first death and foreshadowing Christ’s sacrifice. They are expelled from the garden, not as punishment but to prevent them from eating the tree of life in their fallen state. Cherubim guard the way back.
Sin always brings consequences, repentance restores fellowship, only God—not humans—define what is truly good, and Jesus’ innocent sacrifice covers humanity’s shame. The story reveals both tragedy in broken fellowship and hope in God’s plan of redemption through Christ.
