LET THERE BE LIGHT / GENESIS 1:3

The Hebrew word for “light” is ‘or which refers to the first waves of light energy that came on the earth. Later, God placed “lights” (Hebrew ma ’or, literally, light-bearers, Genesis 1:14) in the heavens. Some were to produce light, and others were to reflect light. The primary purpose of these light-bearers was to mark seasons, days, and years (Genesis 1:5, 14).

THE WOMAN … ATE IT … HER HUSBAND … WITH HER / GENESIS 3:6

START YOUR DAY RIGHT WITH DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 3:6

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

THE WOMAN … ATE IT … HER HUSBAND … WITH HER / GENESIS 3:6

When Adam and Eve sinned, moral and spiritual death came immediately (Genesis 2:17; John 17:3). Physical death came later (Genesis 5:5).

  1. God had said, “when you eat of it you will surely die” (Genesis 2:17). Morally, God’s life died in them, and their nature became sinful. They became morally corrupt and impure in contrast to God’s perfect and pure nature. Spiritually, their former relationship with God was destroyed. Their former innocence was replaced by guilt and fear of judgment. Since then, every person born comes into the world with a sinful nature (Romans 8:5-8). This corruption of human nature involves an innate (inborn) desire and strong pull toward choosing the way that seeks satisfaction for self without concern for God or others. The sinful nature is passed on to all human beings (Genesis 5:3; 6:5; 8:21; Romans 3:10-18; Ephesians 2:3).
  2. The Bible does not teach that all sinned when Adam sinned or that his personal guilt was placed on the whole human race (Romans 5:12). It does teach that Adam introduced the law of sin and death to the whole human race (Romans 5:12; 8:2; 1Corinthians 15:21-22), and since then every person has chosen to go his or her own way (Isaiah 53:6).

YOU WILL BE LIKE GOD / GENESIS 3:5

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 3:5

For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

YOU WILL BE LIKE GOD / GENESIS 3:5

Satan has always tempted individuals to believe that they can be like God and decide for themselves what is good and what is evil, what is right and what is wrong.

  1. An unexpected result in trying to be “like God” was the reality that Adam and Eve separated themselves from God Almighty and became false gods to themselves (Genesis 3:22; John 10:34). People still try to gain moral knowledge and make ethical judgements using their own reasoning rather than God’s Word. But God is still the ultimate judge of what is right and wrong.
  2. Scripture says that all who act like they are their own gods “will perish form the earth and from under the Heavens” (Jeremiah 10:10-11). This will also be the fate of the antichrist, who will claim “to be God” (2 Thessalonians 2:4).

YOU WILL NOT SURELY DIE / GENESIS 3:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 3:4
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

YOU WILL NOT SURELY DIE / GENESIS 3:4

God expects obedience to Him and acceptance of His Word as absolute truth (Genesis 2:16).

  1. Satan knew this and tried to destroy the woman’s faith in God and His Word by raising doubts about His motives and instructions. Satan suggested that God did not really mean what He said (Genesis 2:16-17). Here we have the first lie Satan proposed to a human being: denial of the judgment of death for sin.
  2. One of the primary sins of people is unbelief in God’s Word. It is doubting that He really means what He says about salvation, righteousness, sin, judgment, and death. Satan’s most persistent lie is that choosing to sin and rebel against God will not necessarily lead to separation from God and eternal punishment (1 Corinthians 6:9; Galatians 5:21; 1 John 2:4).

THE SERPENT / GENESIS 3:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 3:1
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

THE SERPENT / GENESIS 3:1

The “serpent” is later identified with Satan, or the devil (Revelation 12:9; 20:2). Satan evidently took control of the serpent and used it as an instrument of temptation (2 Corinthians 11:3, 14: Revelation 20:2; Matthew 4:10). The serpent attacked God through God’s creation. He raised questions about God’s motives and the truth of His Word (Genesis 3:3-4). Adam and Eve believed Satan’s lie and acted upon it. As a result, the curse of sin came upon humanity, and God pronounced severe consequences (results coming from choices) on His creation, including the human race (Genesis 3:16-19).
