WHY THE WORLD IS SUCH A MESS

HUMANITY’S RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD Humans are created in God’s image implying – Relationship With God With others With self With creation Responsibility – to God and others Representation – of God to the world Humans are finite beings Humans are spiritual beings

GN.2:7 AND BIBLICAL ANTHROPOLOGY “Breath of life from God” “Dust of the earth” A living being

SIN AND ITS CONSEQUENCES Broken relationships, curses, and difficulties: Paradise lost (Gn.3:1-19) Anger, jealousy, murder: Cain and Abel (Gn.4:1-16) Society out of control: sons of God and daughters of men (Gn. 6:1-8) Corrupting the earth: the flood (6:9- 9:28) Overweening pride: the tower of Babel (Gn. 11:1-9)

THE WAYS OF THE SERPENT “More subtle than any other creature that God made” (3:1a) Created doubt (3:1b) Lied (3:4) Suggested that God is unfair (3:4,5) Offered what was out of reach The three-fold appeal of temptation (3:6): To our physical appetites To our sense of aesthetics To our intellect

APPETITES INTELLECT AESTHETICS

THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE SIN IN THE GARDEN Broken relationships fear of God Guilt no accountability mistrust of others Serpent was cursed the indictment of evil the promise that the serpent will not ultimately win the battle (Gn.3:15) Pain in childbirth difficulties in carrying out God’s mandate to multiply and fill the earth Hardship, uncooperative environment (cursed earth), and dissatisfaction in work

GOD’S GRACE IN SPITE OF SIN Physical death delayed The beginning of redemption Protection of the tree of life Provision of physical needs

PROPAGATION OF SIN/ THE EXPANSION OF GRACE A way of understanding the narrative sequence beginning with the garden through the tower of Babel Each narrative appears to have three basic elements in common: An account of the particular sin The punishment for that sin A demonstration of God’s grace after the sin (NOTE: Every element may not be present in all narratives)
