It explains that Adam and Eve were created to live happily with God but disobeyed him by eating the forbidden fruit, committing the first personal sin. As a result of original sin, humanity lost original holiness and justice and faces consequences like painful labor, shame, and death. However, God promised a savior and renewed this promise through covenants with Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David to remain faithful despite continued human sin. The prophets foretold both punishment for sin and future salvation through a suffering servant.

    2: The Fall and the Promise


    of a Savior

    Creation and De-Creation


    At creation Adam and Eve were
    gifted with Original Holiness and
    Original Justice.
    That means they
    were created to
    share in Gods life
    and to live in
    happiness.

    However,
    temptation by
    Satan lead to the
    original sin, the
    first personal sin
    committed by
    human beings.

    Adam and Eve sinned by preferring


    themselves to God, disobeying him and
    failing to trust in him.

    Discussion:
    God created human beings to live
    with him in peace and happiness.
    Why do you think the first
    humans turned away from God?

    Was Original Sin


    a Historical
    Event?
    Though the story of
    Genesis 3 uses figural
    language and should
    not be read as a
    historical account, it is
    important to maintain
    that a real historical
    event lies behind it.

    The Effects of the Original Sin


    The consequences
    of the first
    personal sin were
    immediate and
    prolific.
    Those
    consequences
    remain a part of
    our lives today.
    This fallen state is
    Original Sin.

    The Consequences of the Original


    Sin
    loss of Original Holiness and Original Justice
    disunity within the individual, among
    individuals, between people and creation, and
    between people and God
    having to endure painful labor in order to
    survive
    the pains of childbirth
    shame as a result of
    nakedness
    death
    However, though
    human nature was
    weakened by sin, it was
    not totally corrupted.

    Genesis describes
    the spread of sin
    and its
    consequences as
    Gods judgment
    and mercy for
    humanity in three
    stories:
    Cain and Abel
    the Great Flood
    the Tower of
    Babel

    Discussion: Where do you see the


    effects of Original Sin in the world
    today?

    God Remains Faithful in Times of


    Sin
    From the moment of
    humanitys first sin,
    God promises salvation.
    The Protoevangelium
    recorded in Genesis
    3:15 announces Gods
    plans for a future
    Redeemer and a final
    victory over sin and
    death.

    Covenants in the Old


    Testament
    God renews this promise of salvation
    throughout history in covenants with
    his people.
    A covenant is a solemn agreement
    God enters into with his people.
    The Old Testament records 4 covenants:

    1. Gods covenant with Noah


    God renewed the command to Adam and
    Eve to multiply and subdue the earth and
    promised to never again destroy the world.

    2. Gods Covenant with Abraham


    God promised Abraham many
    descendents, land for his people, and that
    his people would be a blessing to all the
    nations.

    3. Gods
    Covenant with
    Moses
    God formed his
    chosen People,
    Israel, and
    gave them the
    Law by which
    to live.

    4. Gods Covenant
    with King David
    God promised David
    that the messiah
    would come from
    his line and that his
    kingdom would be
    everlasting.

    God Remains Faithful to His


    Promises

    God remained faithful to his promises in spite


    of the continued sinful behavior of the people
    and their leaders, including Israels kings.

    Gods fidelity was


    exemplified in the
    message of repentance
    and hope preached by
    his prophets.

    The prophet Amos condemned


    genocide, sexual excess, and violence
    and insisted that true worship of God
    required concrete actions of justice
    toward the weak and poor.

    Jeremiah foretold
    punishment for
    Israels sins and
    promised that God
    would write a new
    covenant on their
    hearts.

    Ezekiel
    warned of
    punishment
    for Israels
    sins and
    promised the
    coming of a
    messiah.

    Isaiah criticized
    idolatry, empty
    sacrifice, human
    pride, and cruelty
    to the poor and
    foretold Israels
    immanent collapse.
    He also promised
    that God would
    save Israel and
    spoke of a
    suffering servant.

    In Christ all the prophecies and covenants


    find their fulfillment.
    Where Adams disobedience to God was
    the cause of our death, Christs obedience
    even to the point of death on a crossis
    the source of our salvation.
