It shows us that evil had a beginning and was not a part of God’s original plan. 2. It explains the origin and ongoing fact of pain, suffering and misery in the world. 3. Solves the mystery of Death. 4. Reveals the character of God; that He is just and merciful. Before we consider these points let me address a criticism leveled at this chapter of the Bible. Just as there are many who reject Genesis 1, saying that it is nothing more than Hebrew mythology, so there are many that would want to assign Genesis 3 to that same category. C.S. Lewis, said in response to those kinds of suggestions, “I have been reading poems, romances, vision-literature, legends, myths all my life. I know what they are like. I know that not one of them is like this.” I. The world was not always the way it is right now. Sin was not part of God’s original plan. Everything was very good! II. This chapter explains the origin and ongoing fact of pain, suffering and misery in the world. a. The existence of evil has been an obstacle to belief in a loving God for many. In a recent survey that asked the question: If you could ask God anything, what would it be? The overwhelming response was, “Why is there pain and suffering in the world?” “Either God wants to abolish evil, and cannot; or he can, but does not want to… If he wants to, but cannot he is impotent. If he can, and does not want to, he is wicked. But, if God both can and wants to abolish evil, why is there still evil in the world?” Epicurus “A loving God could not possibly be the author of the horrors that go on daily, and have gone on since time began, and will continue as long as life exist. It is an inconceivable tale of suffering and death, and because the tale is fact- is, in truth, the history of the world- it is obvious that there cannot be a loving God.” Templeton b. Charles Templeton is right! God is not the author of these horrors! The fact is that God made man upright, and that man made himself a sinner, III. This chapter solves the mystery of Death! Dust to dust! IV. This chapter reveals the character of God: just and merciful. a. Promise of a Savior. b. Nakedness clothed. V. That Savior has come, and is coming again.
