sin brings judgement

Genesis Three….(v.15-19) Sin Brings Judgment

Verses 15-19….

Man was created a glorious creature, shining and surrounded with God's glory and able to talk to God face to face. Now that he had sinned, that glory faded and he saw his nakedness as something to be ashamed of.

The serpent was the first to receive sentence….there would be perpetual enmity between snakes and humans just as there is perpetual enmity between the children of God and the children of Satan.

The woman's sentence was in child bearing and the woes of motherhood and the fact that she would be subject to her husband's leadership. The man's sentence was the cursing of the ground that he would now be dependant on for life….it would be hard work to get a living from the soil.(Romans 5:18)

He had come from dust, he would live from the soil and his body would eventually return to the soil and become the dust once more. In the light of all this, we can only cry with the Pslamist, "Oh Lord, What is man that You are mindful of him? And the son of man that You visit him?" (Psalm 8:4)

Satan first was judged for sin; The serpent now made long and thin;

The woman subject to her man, Forever now from Eden banned.
