Genesis 3:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 3:6

4 ^aThen the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.

5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

6 So when the woman ^asaw that the tree was good for food, that it was¹ pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit ^band ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.

7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, ^aand they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves¹ coverings.

8 And they heard ^athe sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the² cool of the day, and Adam and his wife ^bhid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

9 Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”

10 So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, ^aand I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”

11 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”

12 Then the man said, ^a“The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”

Genesis 3:6-13

There are two things that happened here that changed our relationship with God and each other. They go hand-in-hand with what has been the point so far in this sermon, because they are both, perhaps, the most significant part of the problems we face today. There is failure to stand by the decisions not to be disturbed in the truth of God's Word. And there is a drive away from God by Satan's own self-deception of, This is your right!

Brethren, we live in such divisive times that are only getting worse as rights are being demanded, and the making of decisions that are not built on truth, but on what is best for our side and convincing others that it is to ensure our rights! Do we really think that we can make proper decisions based on the truth of God's Word as long as we hold on to the this is my right, attitude that is trumpeted all around us throughout this world from all sides?
