GENESIS 3

In Genesis 1&2, the stage is set for what all goes wrong. At the end of 1&2 it talks about the tree with the fruit. In chapter 3 it introduces Satan. Satan was a very beautiful angel, he wanted to be the number 1 man so he rebelled against God and in return God sent him to Hell. Satan either appeared in the form of a serpent, or physically posessed the serpent. He then went after Eve. Eve was decieved in verse 4 when the seprent said, “You will not certainly die [if you eat the fruit from the tree], for God knows that when you eat from it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Eve ofcourse ate the fruit and then convinced Adam to eat it also. We don’t really think about it but this means basically, you are trying to make your self God, which is Idolitry. Does anyone here know what makes something a sin? Something is a sin if God doesn’t do it. God does not lie, he does not steal, he does not curse, etc. We all want to be like God and God wants us to be like him too. That is why it hurts him so much whenever we sin. It is because we are seperated from God. Lets understand, God does not need us, he was perfectly content without us… On the other hand though, we desperately need God, so we shoyuld do whatever we can to be like him.
