  1. CHAPTER 2

  2. Chapter 2 The Fall and the Promise of a Savior

  3. Before the Fall • God-centered life • Inner peace • A close, intimate relationship with God • Ability to enjoy the natural world, and a loving relationship with each other • Work was creative • Love of God and neighbor was alive • After trusting Satan • Self-centered life • Adam and Eve realized their nakedness • Struggled with pain and suffering • Were not immune from death • Work was a burden • Original Sin

  4. Three Views On Original Sin Catholic Church Teaching • Catholics hold Original Sin is CONTRACTED not committed • Humans need God’s grace for the forgiveness of sins • Original Sin has wounded human nature, but has not completely corrupted it. Even with Original Sin, humans still bear the “image of God” Luther and Calvinistic Teachings on Original Sin taught that Original Sin had so radically destroyed human freedom that it was impossible for humans to overcome it. Pelagianism is the heretical belief that people, because of their natural powers of free will, can lead morally good lives without God’s help. Associated with this view is the belief that Original Sin is passed on only through example, but is not “contracted” as such. • Original Sin

  5. Typology Romans 5:14 “But death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even over them also who have not sinned, after the similitude of the transgression of Adam, who is a figure of him who was to come.” • Original Sin

  6. Journal Reflection What are the ways that Satan whispers into your own ear asking you to turn away from God?

  7. Protoevangelium I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your o spring and hers; They will strike at your head, while you strike at their heel. (Gn 3:15) • Sin Multiplies

  8. Journal Reflection How can you be joyful knowing that sin continues to exist in this world?

  9. When the LORD smelled the sweet odor, the LORD said to himself: Never again will I curse the ground because of human beings, since the desires of the human heart are evil from youth; nor will I ever again strike down every living being, as I have done. Genesis 8:21 • Covenants in the Old Testament

  10. Covenants in the Old Testament

  11. DECALOGUE—THE TEN COMMANDMENTS summarizes the Law of Moses and expresses what humans know in their hearts, and deduce by reason, to be right or wrong. I. I am the Lord, your God: you shall not have strange gods before me. II. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. III. Remember to keep holy the Lord’s day. IV. Honor your father and your mother. V. You shall not kill. VI. You shall not commit adultery. VII. You shall not steal. VIII. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. IX. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. X. You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods. • Covenants in the Old Testament

  12. Kingdom of Israel • Ten of Israel’s twelve tribes • Samaria as capital • Chose idolatry • God sent prophets to warn against idolatry • Kingdom fell to Assyria in 722 BC Kingdom of Judah • Tribes of Benjamin and Judah • Jerusalem as capital • A few faithful kings • Most succumbed to idolatry • Kingdom overrun by Babylonians in 587 BC • Jewish people taken captive • God sent prophets to bring hope • God prepares the world for a Savior

  13. The New Covenant The covenant established by God in Jesus Christ to fulfill and perfect the Old Covenant. The New Covenant, also called the Law of the Gospel, is the perfection here on earth of the natural law and the Law of Moses. The New Covenant is the law of love, grace, and freedom. The New Covenant, made in the Blood of Jesus, is the climax of salvation history and is God’s eternal covenant with human beings. • God prepares the world for a Savior

  14. Sects of Judaism in the Ancient World • God prepares the world for a Savior

  15. Servant Songs present more prophetic images of Jesus, the Suffering Servant whose sufferings redeemed all people. See, my servant shall prosper, he shall be raised high and greatly exalted. Even as many were amazed at him— so marred were his features, beyond that of mortals his appearance, beyond that of human beings— So shall he startle many nations, kings shall stand speechless; For those who have not been told shall see, those who have not heard shall ponder it. Isaiah 52:13–15 • God prepares the world for a Savior

  16. God prepares the world for a Savior

  17. Good Leaders Samuel Moses David Daniel Bad Leaders Saul Rehoboam—son of Solomon Queen Jezebel Herod Antipas “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” (1 Sam 16:7) • God prepares the world for a Savior
