How to approach reading the whole Bible

The Bible is like a crossword puzzle. You won’t figure it out in one pass.

• This class will help you fill in some of the blanks. Your personal study, home group, and church attendance will help get the rest, if you are persistent.

Adam, Eve, and their descendants

In Gen. 1, man is the only creation given commands that can be disobeyed by choice:• 1st command of God: Gen. 1:28

Be fruitful & multiply Fill the earth & subdue it

God wants his image to spread over the whole world

• 2nd command of God: Gen. 2:16,17 Don’t eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good

and evil God wants his image to be unblemished by evil

Don’t eat the fruit God told Adam not to eat the fruit, before

Eve was even created.

Eve did not know God’s word very well, and was deceived.

Adam failed to adequately teach God’s word to Eve. Eve did not care enough to ask for clarification.

Takeway: Sin resulted from a failure to learn and a failure to teach God’s word.
