Talking Things Over:
- What was Satan’s lie (Genesis 3:4-5)?
- What was the warning God gave Adam and Eve about eating from the forbidden tree (Genesis 2:17)?
- Whose fault was that first sin? Whom did Adam try to blame for his sin? (read Genesis 3:12 carefully). Whose fault are your sins?
- In what ways was man like God when he was created? What happened when he sinned?
Words to Remember:
- Image Of God – The way man was created to love God and do His will.
- Satan – A wicked angel who hates God and tries to lead God’s people into sin. Other names for him are the Devil, the Evil One, the Tempter.
