On Sunday morning, we looked at the terrible fall into sin in Genesis 3. The man and woman, tempted by the serpent, decided to do what God had told them not to do. This led to all of us being like them, choosing what we wanted instead of what God has for us. This led to awful outcomes for them, conflict between them, the reality of shame, and hiding from God. This passage is helpful for us in at least two ways. One if that it shows us what sin is like, even in our own lives. We need to trust God's word and understand his rules are for our good, and resist temptation with the help of the Spirit. The second way is that it shows us why we need Jesus, God's perfect solution to the sin problem. If left to ourselves, we hide, we don't earn our way back to being right with God. Spend some time this week both confessing your sins and asking for God's help, as well as thanking God for sending Jesus to die for our sin.
