Living God’s Way . . .and how we mess it up. The origin of sin
The Fall • What Eve did- Gen.3 • “good for food” • “delight to her eyes” • “will make me wise” • How we’re like Eve- I John 2:16 • Lust of flesh- “good for food” • Lust of eyes- “delight to her eyes” • Boastful pride of life- “will make me wise”
Soul Care? • How Eve’s soul changed: • New Belief • God is a liar • New Choice • I will eat it • Emotion • looks yummy, probably tastes delicious! • Action (body) • Take the fruit and ate it • “Here Adam, have some, too!” • “Okey-dokey”
Two Trees • The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil • Head knowledge- know about evil • Heart of experience knowledge- acted evil • The Tree of Life • Gen. 3:22 • Rev. 22:1-3
Death = Separation • Spiritual death- separation • From God • From each other • Physical death- separation • Earth- Romans 8:22- separation
Our Deaths • How are we experiencing death? • How are we hurting our souls? • Thoughts- envy • “She’s so much prettier than me, I’m ugly!” • “He’s better than me, faster, stronger, cooler. I’m junk.” • Will- holding grudges, walls, “don’t go there!” • Emotions • I feel angry, so I will act angry • I feel lustful, so I will dwell on that. I will not WILL THEIR GOOD, I just want their body.
Help • S.O.S. Prayers • Honesty with God • Cursing, bitterness
