CONSEQUENCESwww.BiblicalRescue.org ~ www.HeartbeatPresentations.com ~ http://DrMargaretsTreasurechest.blogspot.com

In the beginning God created all things

He provided ideal living conditions

Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;

but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil

you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it

you shall surely die.

And Adam and Eve were both naked, the man and

his wife, and were not ashamed.

Then God commanded:

But Satan appeared on the scene…

• The devil

• A deceiver

• Our adversary

• The father of all lies

• Chief of fallen angels

• The prince of this world

• Poses as an angel of light

• He wants to take you to HIS destination - HELL

Has God REALLY said, “You shall NOT eat of EVERY

tree…?”

We may eat of the trees in the garden, but of the

fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden,

God has said, “You shall not eat it - nor shall you

touch it - lest you die.”

Satan attacked by sowing doubt…

At first, Eve resisted…

You will NOT surely die!

For God knows that in the day you eat of it your

eyes will be opened, and you will be like God,

knowing good and evil.

But Satan persisted…

So when the woman saw

that the tree was good for food,

that it was pleasant to the eyes,

and a tree desirable to make

one wise,

She took of its fruit and ate.

She also gave to her husband, and he ate.

Disaster struck the human race…

And Eve was deceived

Adam & Eve ate of the fruit

And sin entered the world

And separated sinners from God

Sin evoked God’s judgment

And so sin entered the world,

and death through sin.

And death spread to all men,

because all sinned.

The wages of sin is death!

Genesis Chapters 2 & 3

And the consequence…

Even today…

NO ONE is right with God

- not even one –

FOR ALL HAVE SINNED

And come short

of the glory of God.

Romans 3:10,23

Is there a way back to God?

Yes!

He sent His Son to pay the penalty for our sins

God had planned a Rescue Operation

And the consequence…

John 3:16

But Satan hates you and does not want you to believe this!

God loves you!

He wants you to know the truth

Jesus said:

Broad is the way that leads to destruction and there are many who go in by it.

Narrow is the way which leads to life and there are few who find it.

(Matthew 7:14)

If you trust Jesus, you can escape eternal death!

Jesus said… I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Can you truly say…

?

Your life depends on it!

Eternally
