An Incredible Beginning-Studying the Word

Genesis 3

Questions Directly From Devotional

1. Satan, that sneaky snake, approached Eve with sort of a Groucho Marx shifty eyebrow aside and asked her something she quickly identified as a lie (Genesis 3:1-2)Whey do you think he began this way?

2. Has the devil changed any since Eve's day? What sorts of tricks does he use to tempt people today?

3. Satan told Eve that if she ate the fruit she would "be like God"(Genesis 3:5) a worthy desire. But how was he deceiving Eve this time? Who should she have spent time with if she actually wished to be more like God?

4. A big oops in verse 6. What did Eve turn toward instead of away from? Why was this a fatal mistake?

5. Adam and Eve have both eaten what God has forbidden. What was the result(Genesis 3:7)? What did they see about themselves that they had not seen before?

6. In Genesis 3:14-15, Satan is now cursed. How does God reveal, even in this cursing, that all is not lost?

7. Compare husband/wife relationships before sin (Genesis 2:23-24) and after (Genesis 3:6). What has changed and how has it affected husband/wife relationships throughout history?

An Incredible Beginning-Reflection

Reflecting on Genesis 1:27

We were created in the image of God. We are the only creature that bears God's image, the only one with spiritual as well s physical features. We are the only creature with a conscience, with a fully developed personality and will, and the only one designed to live forever.
John 4:16, "We have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world"

An Incredible Beginning-Reading the Word

Sorry Girls, due to technical difficulties, Monday's post is on Tuesday.



The Reading comes from Genesis 1-3.

Genesis 1-- For six days God worked, then on the seventh day He took rest. For centuries, scholars have debated whether the days are literal or figurative days. What is your position?

Genesis 3:7-- What are your feelings towards the sad words, "They knew that they were naked"?

PRAISE GOD FOR A BEAUTIFUL WORLD TO LIVE IN

Introduction

Before we get into things I wanted to touch on how this will all work. Each day, Monday through Friday will be a new post. The introduction in the book explains the layout of the book. Monday will offer a brief overview and summary of information to help you understand the passage. Tuesday gives helpful background information on the passage. Wednesday provides a short Bible Study. Thursday presents a chance for you to apply the passage to your own life. Friday will afford you with opportunity to pray based on the weeks scripture. The goal of the entire book's study is to give you an in-depth survey of Scripture. By studying, praying, and responding together about the book, I hope that we can all grow in our relationships with God as well as each other.

Get ready for Monday!
