 Week 2 The Fall of Man

a) The Enticing Offer– Begins with a question that contains a suggestion (a 

loving God would not withhold good)– The Tree is a symbol of God’s authority reminding man 

that freedom must be exercised within God’s guidelines.

– The serpent’s question implies that God’s Word is subject to human judgment.

– The first two doctrines under attack are the integrity of God’s Word and the reality of accountability

lens marred by sin and thus project evil onto innocence.

of filling the earth.– Man’s toil as caretaker will be frustrated by 

thorns and thistles.

 d) The Amazing Love of God– God calls out to man.  – Genesis 3:15 is often seen as first glimpse of the 

gospel.  – The expulsion from the garden and the securing of 

it was an act of mercy, indicating that man cannot save himself.
