MANS FIRST TEMPTATION AND THE
FIRST SIN
Genesis Chapter 3 part 4

When?
● Genesis chapter 3 is a difficult chapter to date because
we are not told how long Adam and Eve lived in the
Garden of Eden.
● It could have been 5 days, or it could have been 50 years.
All we can say for sure is that chapter 3 is the first
recorded history following the creation of our universe.

Who?
● God - The Creator of the universe, earth, animals, men,
and women.
● The First Man – In this chapter, we are told the man’s
name was Adam.
● The First Woman – Adam named his wife Eve “because
she was the mother of all living” (3:20).
● The Serpent – A crafty deceiver who convinced Eve to
disobey God.

MANS FIRST TEMPTATION AND THE FIRST SIN (3:1-7)
Chapter 3 introduces us to a new character, a serpent.
● Who is he?
● Revelation 12:7-9 NIV
“Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought
against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But
he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The
great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the
devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled
to the earth, and his angels with him.”

2 Corinthians 11:1-3 NIV
“I hope you will put up with me in a little foolishness. Yes,
please put up with me! I am jealous for you with a godly
jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I
might present you as a pure virgin to him. But I am afraid
that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your
minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and
pure devotion to Christ.”l,

● Genesis does not mention Satan by name
● Nor does it specifically state that Satan or any other
demonic being controlled the serpent
● Satan is called “that serpent of old” in Revelation
○ Do to the time between Genesis 3 and Revelation 12

THE FIRST TEMPTATION AND THE FIRST SIN
(3:1-7):
● The serpent came to the woman and asked her about
God’s rules regarding which trees they were eat from.
● The woman told the serpent they could eat from every
tree except the in the middle of the garden. For if they
ate of that tree they would die.
● The serpent told her she was mistaken. For if she ate
from the fruit of the tree. Her and Adam would “be like
God, knowing good and evil.”

The Order
God's Order
● Adam first, as the head, then
his wife, as helper(2:18-25)
● God gave Adam the
responsibility of the garden
and all living things(2:15)
● When God came calling, he
called to Adam(3:9)
Satan’s Order
● The serpent wanted to
subvert God’s order
● First approach Eve rather
then Adam(3:1)
● Eve spoke the the
serpent(3:2)
● Eve ate first(3:6)

The woman ate the fruit and then gave some to
her husband to eat.
Unintentional Sin
● Eve's sin was being
deceived
(unintentional)
● Leviticus 4:27-28
Intentional Sin
● Adam’s sin was that he
knowingly chose
(intentional) to follow
his wife to another god
● 1 Kings 11

Leviticus 4:27-28 NIV
““ ‘If any member of the community sins unintentionally and
does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, when
they realize their guilt and the sin they have committed becomes
known, they must bring as their offering for the sin they
committed a female goat without defect.”

1 Kings 11:9-10 NIV
“The Lord became angry with Solomon because his heart
had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had
appeared to him twice. Although he had forbidden Solomon
to follow other gods, Solomon did not keep the Lord’s
command.”

1 Kings 11:11-12 NIV
“So the Lord said to Solomon, “Since this is your attitude
and you have not kept my covenant and my decrees, which
I commanded you, I will most certainly tear the kingdom
away from you and give it to one of your subordinates.
Nevertheless, for the sake of David your father, I will not do
it during your lifetime. I will tear it out of the hand of your
son.”

“Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they
realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves
together and made coverings for themselves.” Gen. 3:7
● Genesis 2:25 NIV “Adam and his wife were both naked, and
they felt no shame.” Genesis 3:7 helps us understand how
powerful is the condition of innocence really is.
● Before their sin they felt no need for covering their bodies
because there was no sin. After their sin they became aware
of their guilt, shame, and that they were exposed. They tried
covering up their guilt and shame on their own.

GOD CONFRONTS THE ADAM AND EVE ABOUT
THEIR DISOBEDIENCE (3:8-13):
● The man and woman tried in vain to hide from God in
the garden in the cool of the day.
● When God found them, He discovered they had eaten
the forbidden fruit.
● Adam blamed first God for Eve’s creation than Eve for
giving him the fruit. 3:12
● Eve blamed the serpent for deceiving her.

Godly Headship
● God gave headship over the family to Adam
○ therefore Adam was responsible for Eve
○ the command not to eat from the forbidden tree was
given to Adam
● Today we have the same crisis in our homes
○ we as men are allowing women in there houses to
have headship

Godly Headship
Why does this happen?
● T.V. Has made it a norm with programing
● In most First Word Nations reverse headship is the
norm
● The welfare state where people are taught from a young
age that you don’t need a Man and Woman as parents in
a family

Godly Headship
How do we maintain Godly Headship over our homes and
family?
● Ephesians 5:21-33
● This is the instructions for Christian Household

Ephesians 5:21-24 NIV
“Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives,
submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the
Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the
head of the church, his body, of which he is the
Savior.”“Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives
should submit to their husbands in everything.”

“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and
gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the
washing with water through the word, and to present her to
himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other
blemish, but holy and blameless.”

“In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their
own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one
ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body,
just as Christ does the church— for we are members of his body.”

Godly Headship
● Men as the leaders in the house responsible for all things that
happen in the house
● Crisis that happen are our responsibility
● Don’t be like Adam and try passing on the Buck

THE CURSE OF SIN (3:14-19):
● God cursed the serpent “above all livestock and above all
beasts.”
● In a prophesy about the future, God said to the serpent
(Genesis 3:15 NIV)““And I will put enmity between you and
the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will
crush your head, and you will strike his heel.””

THE CURSE OF SIN (3:14-19):
Woman
God told the woman she
would have pain in
childbearing and her
husband would rule over her.
Man
God told the man the ground
was going to be cursed because
of his sin. He would have to
labor with difficulty to grow
food and eventually he would
return to the ground and dust
from which he was created.

THE MAN AND WOMAN ARE REMOVED FROM THE
GARDEN (3:20-24):
● The man named his wife Eve “because she was the mother of
all living.”
● God made the man (Adam) and Eve garments to wear from
animal skins.
● He removed them from the Garden of Eden so they would
no longer have access to the tree of life, which allowed them
to live forever.

Todays Relevance
● Not following Gods design leads to sin that separates us from
Him
● Just like Adam and Eve were removed from the garden (a life
of ease) and thrust out into a world of difficulty. The same
came happen to us
● Don’t listen to the lies of Satan, because disobeying Gods
commands leads to death.
