Doctrine of Sin
Chris Hefner
Genesis 3 teaches that sin undermines God’s Word.
When we undermine God’s Word, we are deceived.
When deceived, we are tempted to pursue pleasure and fulfillment on our own, outside of God’s parameters.
When we are deceived into sin, our sin results in us blaming others for our own flaws.
Takeaways:
Sin in the garden had immediate, catastrophic, cosmic, and eternal consequences.
The incipient sins of not trusting God’s Word and idolatry are intricately connected. See Romans 1:18 ff.
The irony of idolatry is that men worship what they make “with their hands.” The solution to sin/idolatry is to recognize we have been made in God’s image by his hands in order to worship him. See Isaiah 45:5-12
