The Storyline of Salvation (Completed) by PACQ

CHAPTER 2: FALL OF MAN: Origin of Sin (Genesis 3:1-7)

A. Satan enters the Garden of Eden through the serpent to deceive Man
- "Did God say" ye shall not eat of every tree of the Garden? Implantation of doubt in the mind of Eve
- Eve responded by saying, "We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God said, you shall not eat of it or touch it, lest ye die" Genesis 3:2-3).
- The serpent's deception through his words when he said in Gen. 3:4-5
• You shall not surely die;
• Your eyes will be opened; and
• You shall be as gods, knowing good and evil (small g).

B. Eve fell to Satan's deception (Gen. 3:6; 1 John 2:15-17)
- She saw the tree was good for food (lust of the flesh).
- She saw that it was pleasant to the eyes (lust of the eyes).
- She saw that it was a tree to be desired to make one wise (Pride of life).
- Eve partook of the fruit and gave to her husband, Adam
• 2 Faces of the Forbidden fruit
o Good side
o Evil side

• Using their freedom of choice in their infancy stage, they took of the evil side.

C. Implantation of the Serpent Seed: The Act of Disobedience to the Father's will
- When Eve listened and obeyed the voice of the serpent, the righteous seed was aborted and replaced with the serpent seed.
- They used their freedom of choice to disobey God.
- What is the serpent seed? It is the spirit of disobedience to the will of the Father camouflaging itself as the human will. That is sin.
- Man was implanted with the seed of the spirit of disobedience without him knowing it. That is the deception.

D. Results of Disobedience
1. Man began to know what's good and evil according to his own interpretation
2. Evil became dominant in man
3. Curse came upon man, the woman and the serpent, in effect, the entire creation (Genesis 3:16-19).
4. The Father-and-Son relationship was broken
5. He now has a different father; the devil is now his father.
6. The Sonship and the Kingship were lost and delivered to Satan, Lucifer the devil (Luke 4:6).
7. Adam and Eve lost their innocence; malice came to the picture, so they looked for fig leaves to cover and hid themselves from God because they found themselves naked. They covered God's righteousness with their own righteousness. Instead of being God-centered, they became self-centered.
8. Death entered into the human race (Romans 5:12; 19). This spiritual first before physical
9. They did not hear from the Father anymore. This is spiritual death.
• The point of separation is deception; disconnection from the Father. The righteous seed was aborted and was replaced with the serpent seed (Genesis 3:17-19).
• 'Man is become as one of us' (Genesis 3:22): Adam become small 'g' (god), deciding good and evil according to himself
• Adam and Eve were driven out from the Garden of Eden, and a flaming sword was there to keep them away from the tree of life (or else they would partake of the tree of life and live in sin forever).
• They lost their communion and fellowship with the Father.

✓ Everyone born of the flesh inherited the serpent seed.
✓ The Father wanted to recover man fully back to Him, and so, He made a plan to redeem man. The plan of salvation began to roll.

E. Enmity between the Serpent Seed and the Righteous Seed
- Genesis 3:15 is a prophetic verse. This means that one seed will be produced to defy the serpent seed.
- It also indicates that there is hope for humanity, the members of the Fallen Adamic Race for salvation.

✓ The plan of Salvation began with the calling of Abraham
✓ The Father began to deal with man again.
