The Catastrophic Fall of Man | Dr. Stephen Conley

Text:  Genesis 3:1-7

Satan’s Deceitful Devices (Genesis 3:1-5)

• Satan is the crafty serpent in the Garden of Eden (Revelation 12:9).
• Satan strategy involves attacking and distorting God’s Word.
• Satan’s goal is for us to doubt and disobey God’s Word

Man’s Defiant Disobedience (Genesis 3:6-7)

• Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s Word in unbelief, seeking their own moral autonomy.
• Adam and Eve’s sinful pattern in Genesis 3 is paralleled for us in James 1:13-16 and 1 John 2:15-17.

God’s Promised Savior (Romans 5:12-17)

• Through one man’s (Adam) sin, death has passed to all of us and reigns over us.
• Through the Gospel of Christ, we can be justified by grace and live eternally with Him.
