Genesis 3:1–7

About this episode
Today we are looking at one of the most tragic chapters in the Bible. Genesis 1 and 2 showed us creation before the fall and God said it was good. God had given them an entire world of blessings and had placed only one tree off limits. That single prohibition was the symbol of their creaturely status. It was acknowledgment that God was God and they were not. And into this perfect garden slithers the first influencer. What unfolds here is not a cute fairytale about a talking snake and some fruit. It is more like a court record of the first cosmic treason. This is the key moment in history that led to every murder, every cancer death, and every execution since that day. Every sorrow in human history has its bitter root in the very real conversation recorded in these verses.
