Discussion Questions:

1. What questions do these two chapters raise in your mind that the text doesn't seem to answer? Why do you think the text is quiet on these issues?
2. Where do you see God's grace and compassion in these two chapters?
3. How do we see Adam and Eve's relationship with each other change as a result of their sin?
4. How do we see the same tactic used by Satan in the garden take shape in our lives today? How might we be tempted to see God's boundaries as not good for us?
5. What seems to be the reason that God looks with favor at Abel's offering but not Cain's? How might Psalm 51:16-17 help illuminate this issue?
6. Sin seems to take a hold and quickly spiral out of control in chapter 4. How do we see God's good design being ignored in the decedents of Adam and Eve?
7. How do these chapters convict your heart of sin and how do they point you to a God who longs to forgive that sin?
