Genesis 3 is the saddest chapter of the bible to me. It is when man fell from a perfect relationship with God. It did not happen with great fanfare or even a lot of hype. It took one series of choices that brought separation from God. Disobedience does that. It severed what had been an intimate relationship with God when woman and man chose to go against what God said. Satan definitely tempted, but it was the choice that resulted in the separation. I am so grateful that chapter 3 also contains the redemption plan for man. The snake would bruise the heel of the seed, but He would crush the serpent’s head. Even then Jesus was the antidote to sin’s venom. God in His great love knew the cost would be His perfect Son. I am so grateful for His willingness to pay for my sin as well.
