00:00:57,080 –> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: I’m your host, Randy Black.

7
00:01:00,620 –> 00:01:09,659
Speaker 2: The story of Adam and Eve in Genesis chapter 3, verses 1 through 19 is one of the most significant passages in the Bible

8
00:01:09,640 –> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 2: as it recounts humanity’s first act of disobedience toward God.

9
00:01:15,560 –> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: This moment changed the course of history.

10
00:01:19,620 –> 00:01:24,900
Speaker 2: introducing sin into the world and affecting all generations to come.

11
00:01:24,900 –> 00:01:28,820
Speaker 2: Through this episode, we’re going to explore the nature of temptation.

12
00:01:28,939 –> 00:01:36,700
Speaker 2: the consequences of sin, and the lessons we can apply to our daily lives as believers in Christ.

13
00:01:36,700 –> 00:01:40,860
Speaker 2: Before we dive into the scripture, let’s open up with a word of prayer.

14
00:01:41,940 –> 00:01:49,300
Speaker 2: Heavenly Father, we come before you today with open hearts and minds, seeking to understand your word.

15
00:01:49,300 –> 00:01:52,740
Speaker 2: As we study the account of the first sin.

16
00:01:53,140 –> 00:02:00,500
Speaker 2: Help us to recognize the dangers of temptation and the consequences of disobedience.

17
00:02:00,500 –> 00:02:07,860
Speaker 2: Teach us to trust in your wisdom and to rely on your strength to resist the enemy.

18
00:02:07,840 –> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 2: May this passage of Scripture draw us closer to you and deepen our commitment to walk in obedience

19
00:02:19,580 –> 00:02:23,340
Speaker 2: In the name of your Son, our Savior Jesus, we pray.

20
00:02:23,340 –> 00:02:24,300
Speaker 2: Amen.

21
00:02:34,500 –> 00:02:38,580
Speaker 3: Chapter 3, verses 1 through 19.

22
00:02:38,580 –> 00:02:43,460
Speaker 3: Now the serpent was more cunning than any animal of the field which the Lord God had made.

23
00:02:43,460 –> 00:02:48,900
Speaker 3: And he said to the woman, Has God really said, You shall not eat from any tree of the garden?

24
00:02:49,740 –> 00:02:54,380
Speaker 3: The woman said to the serpent, From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat.

25
00:02:54,380 –> 00:03:02,220
Speaker 3: But from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.

26
00:03:02,220 –> 00:03:03,740
Speaker 3: The serpent said to the woman, You

27
00:03:04,340 –> 00:03:06,020
Speaker 3: Certainly will not die.

28
00:03:06,020 –> 00:03:13,300
Speaker 3: For God knows that on the day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened, and you will become like God, knowing good and evil.

29
00:03:14,660 –> 00:03:19,060
Speaker 3: When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eye,

30
00:03:22,300 –> 00:03:27,980
Speaker 3: She took some of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband with her, and he ate.

31
00:03:27,980 –> 00:03:31,820
Speaker 3: Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked.

32
00:03:34,180 –> 00:03:35,940
Speaker 3: themselves waste coverings.

33
00:03:35,940 –> 00:03:45,860
Speaker 3: Now they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

34
00:03:45,860 –> 00:03:48,420
Speaker 3: Then the Lord God called to the man and said to him,

35
00:03:49,340 –> 00:03:50,060
Speaker 3: Are you?

36
00:03:50,060 –> 00:03:56,780
Speaker 3: He said, I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid myself.

37
00:03:56,780 –> 00:03:59,340
Speaker 3: And he said, Who told you that you were naked?

38
00:03:59,340 –> 00:04:03,420
Speaker 3: Have you eaten from the tree from which I commanded you not to eat?

39
00:04:04,740 –> 00:04:11,060
Speaker 3: The man said, The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me some of the fruit of the tree, and I ate.

40
00:04:11,060 –> 00:04:15,300
Speaker 3: Then the Lord God said to the woman, What is this that you have done?

41
00:04:14,900 –> 00:04:18,900
Speaker 3: And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.

42
00:04:18,900 –> 00:04:27,620
Speaker 3: Then the Lord God said to the serpent, because you have done this, cursed are you more than all the livestock, and more than any animal of the field.

43
00:04:27,620 –> 00:04:29,860
Speaker 3: On your belly you shall go, and duck.

44
00:04:29,979 –> 00:04:37,820
Speaker 3: Thus you shall eat all the days of your life, and I will make enemies of you and the woman, and of your offspring and her descendant.

45
00:04:37,820 –> 00:04:42,220
Speaker 3: He shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel.

46
00:04:45,060 –> 00:04:49,620
Speaker 3: To the woman he said, I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth.

47
00:04:49,620 –> 00:04:51,860
Speaker 3: In pain you shall deliver children.

48
00:04:51,860 –> 00:04:56,020
Speaker 3: Yet your desire will be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.

49
00:04:56,020 –> 00:04:59,860
Speaker 3: Then to Adam he said, Because you have listened to the voice of your wife,

50
00:05:00,460 –> 00:05:05,979
Speaker 3: and have eaten from the tree from which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat from it.

51
00:05:05,979 –> 00:05:08,460
Speaker 3: Cursed is the ground because of you.

52
00:05:08,260 –> 00:05:12,020
Speaker 3: With hard labor you shall eat from it all the days of your life.

53
00:05:12,020 –> 00:05:17,300
Speaker 3: Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you, yet you shall eat the plants of the field.

54
00:05:17,300 –> 00:05:21,860
Speaker 3: By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, until you return to the ground.

55
00:05:21,860 –> 00:05:22,660
Speaker 3: Because from it you were

56
00:05:23,340 –> 00:05:37,500
Speaker 2: taken for you are dust and to dust you shall return genesis 3 opens with the serpent satan engaging eve in conversation

57
00:05:37,920 –> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 2: His approach is cunning.

58
00:05:40,240 –> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: He does not outright deny God’s word, but instead cast doubt upon it.

59
00:05:47,620 –> 00:05:58,500
Speaker 2: The serpent’s question, Has God really said, introduces deception, causing Eve to reconsider what she knew to be true

60
00:05:59,020 –> 00:06:07,420
Speaker 2: This teaches us that temptation often begins with questioning God’s authority and distorting his truth.

61
00:06:08,240 –> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: Eve’s response shows that she understands God’s command, but she adds to it by saying they must not touch the fruit, which God never explicitly stated

62
00:06:21,320 –> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 2: This illustrates how even slight distortions of God’s word can lead to misunderstandings and vulnerability to sin.

63
00:06:31,240 –> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 2: The serpent capitalizes on this moment, directly contradicting God by telling Eve, she will not die.

64
00:06:40,060 –> 00:06:46,940
Speaker 2: but will instead instead gain gain wisdom and become like God.

65
00:06:46,940 –> 00:06:49,979
Speaker 2: This is a a classic example of how sin

66
00:06:50,539 –> 00:06:57,259
Speaker 2: often appeals to pride and the desire one has for control.

67
00:06:57,259 –> 00:07:02,620
Speaker 2: Once Eve gives in, she also leads Adam into disobedience

68
00:07:03,220 –> 00:07:06,020
Speaker 2: Their immediate reaction is shame.

69
00:07:06,020 –> 00:07:10,740
Speaker 2: They realize their nakedness and attempt to cover themselves.

70
00:07:10,740 –> 00:07:17,860
Speaker 2: This signifies the loss of innocence and the entrance of sin’s consequences.

71
00:07:17,780 –> 00:07:26,419
Speaker 2: Instead of running to God, they hide, which reflects how sin creates separation between humanity and God.

72
00:07:27,460 –> 00:07:35,220
Speaker 2: When God confronts Adam and Eve, he gives them an opportunity to confess, but instead they shift blame.

73
00:07:35,220 –> 00:07:39,620
Speaker 2: Adam blames Eve, and Eve blames the serpent.

74
00:07:39,820 –> 00:07:46,540
Speaker 2: This evasion of responsibility is a common human reaction to sin.

75
00:07:46,540 –> 00:07:47,580
Speaker 2: However,

76
00:07:47,920 –> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: God’s justice prevails as he pronounces the consequences.

77
00:07:52,160 –> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: Pain in childbirth for Eve.

78
00:07:56,180 –> 00:08:02,900
Speaker 2: Toil and struggle in labor for Adam, and ultimately death for both

79
00:08:04,920 –> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 2: We have five key takeaways from this passage of scripture.

80
00:08:09,320 –> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 2: Our first is that temptation often begins with doubt and distortion of God’s Word.

81
00:08:16,140 –> 00:08:21,180
Speaker 2: Satan’s first move was to introduce doubt by twisting God’s command.

82
00:08:21,180 –> 00:08:30,380
Speaker 2: He did not outright deny God’s words, but question them in a way that made Eve reconsider what she knew.

83
00:08:30,040 –> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 2: This is a tactic still used today, as the enemy tries to make us question God’s truth and replace it with human reasoning.

84
00:08:41,960 –> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 2: We must be diligent in studying and understanding Scripture so that we are not deceived by half-truths or distortions.

85
00:08:52,399 –> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: Our next takeaway is that sin leads to shame and separation from God.

86
00:08:58,160 –> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 2: Adam and Eve’s immediate response to their sin was to cover themselves and to hide

87
00:09:03,420 –> 00:09:10,300
Speaker 2: This is a powerful image of how sin creates a rift between us and God.

88
00:09:10,300 –> 00:09:12,779
Speaker 2: Rather than running to him for mercy

89
00:09:12,959 –> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: They tried to solve their problem on their own, which only made matters worse.

90
00:09:19,760 –> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: When we sin, our first instinct should be to seek God’s forgiveness

91
00:09:24,759 –> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 2: rather than avoid him in shame and in guilt.

92
00:09:29,560 –> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: Our next takeaway is that blaming others does not absolve personal responsibility

93
00:09:36,540 –> 00:09:43,900
Speaker 2: When confronted by God, both Adam and Eve attempted to shift the blame.

94
00:09:43,900 –> 00:09:49,580
Speaker 2: This teaches us that accountability is essential in our walk with God.

95
00:09:50,060 –> 00:09:59,100
Speaker 2: True repentance comes from acknowledging our wrongdoing rather than justifying or excusing it

96
00:10:00,940 –> 00:10:05,660
Speaker 2: Takeaway number four is that sin has real consequences.

97
00:10:05,660 –> 00:10:13,420
Speaker 2: The curses pronounced on Adam and Eve, and even the serpent, show that sin carries lasting effects

98
00:10:13,720 –> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: Even today we experience the repercussions of this disobedience.

99
00:10:19,400 –> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 2: However, through Christ we have redemption and the hope of restoration

100
00:10:27,940 –> 00:10:34,580
Speaker 2: And our last takeaway is that God’s plan for redemption was already in motion.

101
00:10:34,580 –> 00:10:37,620
Speaker 2: Even in the midst of pronouncing judgment

102
00:10:37,820 –> 00:10:42,780
Speaker 2: God spoke of the future defeat of Satan through the offspring of the woman.

103
00:10:42,780 –> 00:10:51,420
Speaker 2: This prophecy, known as the as of known as the proto-evangelium, points to Jesus Christ.

104
00:10:51,620 –> 00:10:55,700
Speaker 2: Who would ultimately conquer sin and death?

105
00:10:55,700 –> 00:11:05,060
Speaker 2: This reminds us that God’s grace and plan for salvation were present from the very beginning of time.

106
00:11:08,520 –> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 2: Temptation is a reality for every believer, and understanding how it operates can help us guard against falling into sin.

107
00:11:18,740 –> 00:11:26,259
Speaker 2: Satan often targets areas of weakness, using deception and half-truths to lead us away from God’s path

108
00:11:26,620 –> 00:11:36,540
Speaker 2: Reflecting on Eve’s interaction with the serpent, we should consider how we too are sometimes drawn into questioning God’s will.

109
00:11:38,400 –> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 2: Additionally, we must recognize our responsibility in sin.

110
00:11:42,960 –> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 2: Blaming others or circumstances does not remove accountability

111
00:11:48,339 –> 00:11:57,139
Speaker 2: True repentance requires acknowledging our wrongdoing and seeking God’s forgiveness rather than hiding in shame

112
00:11:59,060 –> 00:12:04,100
Speaker 2: Another important lesson is that God’s justice and mercy go hand in hand.

113
00:12:04,100 –> 00:12:09,540
Speaker 2: While sin has consequences, God still provides a path for redemption

114
00:12:09,920 –> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 2: This is fully realized in Jesus Christ, who bore the punishment for sin so that we might be restored to God.

115
00:12:18,620 –> 00:12:25,500
Speaker 2: Through him, we find the grace to overcome temptation and to walk in obedience

116
00:12:27,060 –> 00:12:34,020
Speaker 2: Lastly, our response to sin should not be hiding or making excuses

117
00:12:34,720 –> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 2: But rather turning to God in repentance.

118
00:12:38,080 –> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: He is always ready to forgive and to restore those who genuinely seek Him.

119
00:12:48,960 –> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 2: Let’s close out our study of the Scripture with another word of prayer.

120
00:12:55,360 –> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 2: Gracious Lord

121
00:12:57,320 –> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 2: Thank you for revealing the truth about temptation and sin through your word.

122
00:13:03,880 –> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 2: Help us to recognize the enemy’s schemes and stand firm in faith

123
00:13:09,980 –> 00:13:17,020
Speaker 2: Give us the strength to resist sin and the humility to repent when we fall

124
00:13:17,540 –> 00:13:24,180
Speaker 2: May we walk in obedience, trusting in your wisdom rather than our own understanding

125
00:13:25,440 –> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: Thank you for your mercy and grace and for the salvation we have through Jesus Christ.

126
00:13:34,160 –> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 2: In his precious name we pray.

127
00:13:36,720 –> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 2: Amen.

Speaker 2: talent will be offering to assist us somehow with the show, be it in creating cover art, uh it can be in offering up suggestions for scripture or for topics.

138
00:14:35,720 –> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 2: Uh it could be even taking the time to script out, write out an episode of the show for us

139
00:14:41,040 –> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 2: uh meeting you know our format.

140
00:14:43,040 –> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 2: Uh and it could also be stepping up and being involved in recording for the show

141
00:14:48,940 –> 00:14:54,460
Speaker 2: And treasure implies something that is treasure is of value, in this case, financial.

Speaker 2: In the Modern Podcast, you can uh fountain is the easiest way to do it right now, currently.

145
00:15:04,440 –> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: Uh you can also do it with TrueFans, um, but you can load up your wallet there with Satoshis.

146
00:15:11,160 –> 00:15:14,519
Speaker 2: Satoshis are very, very small amounts of Bitcoin.

147
00:15:13,560 –> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 2: And you can then set a value for how much you want to stream to the show.

148
00:15:17,720 –> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 2: If you want to stream 10 cents, 10 sats a minute, that’s a f that’s fine.

149
00:15:21,720 –> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: If you want to send

150
00:15:23,040 –> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 2: You know, stream 500 sats a minute.

151
00:15:25,040 –> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 2: That’s perfectly fine too.

152
00:15:26,560 –> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: It’s based on the value you’re receiving that you then want to return back

153
00:15:31,680 –> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: You can also send in a boost.

154
00:15:33,200 –> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 2: A boost is a one-time pledge of support in one of those apps and the amount of satoshis you choose.

155
00:15:38,080 –> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: You can send in a boostigram, which is the same as a boost, but has a message attached

156
00:15:42,000 –> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 2: You can use that to send encouragement, to send praise, to thank us for what we’re doing.

157
00:15:46,000 –> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: You can even send prayer requests in that way.

158
00:15:48,960 –> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 2: And you can also head to our website.

159
00:15:51,040 –> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: where we have uh a widget embedded on our value for value page there that you can use PayPal to make a one-time pledge of support or schedule a continuing pledge of support.

160
00:16:01,560 –> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 2: to help us with the show.

161
00:16:03,160 –> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 2: We also have links there to do the same through Albi uh as well as strike and we have a link there

162
00:16:09,480 –> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 2: where you can purchase one-time credits on a service called Auphonic.

163
00:16:13,320 –> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: And Auphonic is what we use to process our audio here on the show.

164
00:16:17,160 –> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 2: So there are several ways you can do that.

165
00:16:20,120 –> 00:16:28,519
Speaker 2: If you want to learn more about the value for value model and everything it implies and uh what we then do to apply it to what we’re doing here on the show

00:20:45,640 –> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 2: So let’s go ahead and at this time, uh, before we talk about our next episode of the show, go ahead and take these requests to the Lord in prayer.

225
00:20:55,840 –> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 2: Heavenly Father, we thank you once again for another week, another week where we can work to share your word with those.

226
00:21:04,340 –> 00:21:05,860
Speaker 2: who choose to listen.

227
00:21:05,860 –> 00:21:14,020
Speaker 2: We hope that you would stir their hearts in some way from this, and maybe even use it use them as a conduit.

228
00:21:14,019 –> 00:21:19,380
Speaker 2: To take this episode and share it with someone else, that it may help them in some way.

229
00:21:19,380 –> 00:21:25,620
Speaker 2: And it may even lead them to the Lord by understanding sin and the redemption and what they have available to them.

230
00:21:25,760 –> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 2: We want to remember the requests we’re making this week, my mother and father, Greg and Kim, friend Jimmy Clayton, myself, Kayla, as well as Jimmy V and Luis up in Canada with their new podcast and their new endeavor.

231
00:21:40,440 –> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 2: Watch over us.

232
00:21:41,880 –> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 2: And remember those in our audience who have unspoken requests they haven’t shared with us.

233
00:21:46,280 –> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 2: You know what those needs are, and you know the best way to address them with ways that are within your will.

234
00:21:53,320 –> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 2: We trust your judgment and have the faith that you will make those decisions for us and guide us in the proper way

235
00:22:03,080 –> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 2: Ultimately, Lord, we hope that we’re able to bring others to know your son, that they can then accept him as their savior.

236
00:22:12,900 –> 00:22:18,260
Speaker 2: And then spend eternity in heaven with you and him and all of us who are saved.

237
00:22:18,500 –> 00:22:20,820
Speaker 2: In the name of your Son Jesus, we pray.

238
00:22:20,820 –> 00:22:21,780
Speaker 2: Amen.

239
00:22:23,360 –> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 2: So on our next episode, we’re going to finish out our last episode on Eve, the first woman, and what we’re going to look at is focus primarily on Genesis chapter 3, verse 15, which was in our

240
00:22:36,940 –> 00:22:46,220
Speaker 2: our scripture today, but we’re going to take that and use that to build and talk about redemption through Eve’s lineage and the promise of a savior.

241
00:22:46,220 –> 00:22:48,700
Speaker 2: We mentioned it briefly in this episode this week.
