• Read Genesis 1:1 – 2:24 (Creation)

What was life like in these chapters? What sticks out to you?

• Read Genesis 3:1 – 3:24 (Fall)

What happened in this chapter? What sticks out to you?

Adam and Eve were tempted by Satan and sinned. This is called “the Fall.” Because of this they were separated from God.

How does this affect us today?

We are born into sin and are spiritually dead: separated from God; empty on the inside, fear, shame, depression, anxiety, etc.

Addiction is running to anything other than God to fill our vacancies, which eventually enslaves our heart, mind, and body.

Addiction to anything is our own way of coping with the result of the Fall and the separation from God. We find temporary relief for this emptiness and have to keep going back to get more, even if it destroys of life.

• Read Genesis 3:21 (Redemption)

How did God deal with their sin?

He killed an animal in order to cover their shame.

How does this relate with Jesus?
