[size=large]Bible Study of Truth or Consequences[/size]
[size=x-large]S[/size]in has enormous consequences. When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, they opened the floodgates of pain, sickness, and death. God is the source of life. Separated from Him, our first parents were plunged into a life of suffering. Obedience produces joy; disobedience results in sorrow. The psalmist David put it this way, "You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of you; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore" Ps. 16:11.
Jesus added: "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" John 10:10.
1. What was Satan's first lie? In your mind, circle the one word that reveals the difference between what God said and what Satan claimed. "Then the serpent said to the woman, 'You will not surely die" Gen. 3:4 Satan's statement directly contradicted God's warning regarding eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good & Evil. In your own words, describe what this great controversy was all about in the Garden of Eden.
2. How did Adam and Eve's relationship to God change after they sinned? "And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife his themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden" Gen. 3:8. When Adam and Eve sinned they____________________________________________themselves.
3. How does Sin effect our relationship with God? "But your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear" Isa. 59:2. Sin_________________________________________________us from God. One of the tragic consequences of sin is that it breaks our relationship with God. Disobedience to God's expressed command places a barrier between us and God. The guilt of our sins causes us to hide from God's glorious presence. Sin creates shame, guilt, and condemnation. It leaves us with emptiness in our souls.
4. Whom did Adam Blame for his disobedience? What was the result of sin on the relationship between our first parents? "Then the man said, "The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate" Gen. 3:12. How did Adam attempt to justify his behavior? How do we attempt to justify ours?
