What happens when we decide that we know better than God’s Word? Genesis 3 is a testimony of the results . . . SIN . . . regret . . . SIN . . . Consequences.

How humanity deals with our sin problem . . .

1. Cover-up (Gen. 3:7b)
2. Fear (Gen. 3:8, 10)
3. Blame God (Gen. 3:12a, 13)
4. Blame others (Gen. 3:12b, 13)
5. Try to justify (Gen. 3:12c, 13)

How God deals with our sin problem . . .

1. Consequences (Gen. 3:16-19, 23, 24)
2. GRACE (3:14-15, 21)

Consequences can hurt–but I still prefer God’s way!
