Genesis, as a story of beginnings, explains the roots of a reality we can?t reasonbly deny: this world is not what it ought to be. Genesis 3 explains something of the nature of sin, that it replaces God?s authority with ours; the results of sin, that it destroys relationships, separates us from God, and ultimately brings death; and the solution for sin, that one we now know to be Jesus would come to perfectly solve the problem of sin.
