In this sermon, you will learn about the 4 different parts that Psalm 5 is broken up in to. Psalm 5 will also answer the question "How is it that we sinners living in a world of sinners can worship a perfectly holy and just God?"

From Gen. 3:22-24 I hope to show you three events that happened after the fall of man so that we can see the love, mercy, care, and grace of God towards sinners, which hopefully will cause us to worship God with thankfulness.

"You see the killing of innocent animals by the Lord, was a lesson for Adam and Eve. They would then know, by the Lord’s example, that sin requires sacrifice and sacrifice leads to atonement and reconciliation with God. This is the doctrine of substitution."

At that time, only one prohibition was given by the Lord. Though Adam’s leadership was implied at multiple levels before the fall, only eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was forbidden and came with a death sentence. Yet Adam failed to protect his wife against that sin, and instead, followed his wife into sin.

From Gen. 3:14-15 I want to show you why and how the Lord God cursed the serpent, so that we can learn about God’s justice and grace, even in the midst of cursing the serpent.

We can all relate to the sin of blame-shifting which is the evil offspring of pride. We don’t want to be at fault, we like to pretend we are righteous, or more righteous than others, and often present ourselves as innocent victims when we sin. Where do we get this relentless and habitual inclination to blame others for our sins? Our text answers that question.

From Gen. 3:8-10 I want to look at two more consequences of Adam and Eve’s sin which the Lord’s presence exposed, sins we can all relate to and be on guard against, so we can show love to God and give Him the glory He deserves.

From Gen. 3:7 I want to show you two more consequences of sin, one bad and one good, so that you can avoid the bad and understand the purpose of the good, for God’s glory.

From Gen. 3:7 I want to show you the first two consequences of sin in our text, so that you can understand how sin affects us, watch for these sinful tendencies in your own life, be able to spot, repent of, and confess them to God for His glory.
