Why Jesus came

It would no make no sense to study Jesus unless we understand the reason Jesus came to eareth.  Now most know this in the plan but it is worth looking at the truth that sin came into the life of the world thus a solution is needed to forgive.  God made this world and God makes all the rules and knew the best and only way.   God said do not eat and they ate.  God then put in place punishment for sin and rejection of Him and this is hell.  I am going to go over this in time.  But in this text I want to see some things about sin and evil and helll

GEN Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. REV That serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, JN was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. GEN And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”    

Who is the devil?  He is a angel who in the past turned to try to take Gods place and for this God kicked him out of heaven and banned him.  He then Devil came to earth for some reason I thnk it was to make it fair to man and to show Jesus love and the glory  of God.  Some things about the devil.  He is a lair, murder and the father of evil.  Alone Satan brings evil into this race.  He is crafty and he is one that is out to kill and destroy you.  He hates your guts and hates Gods.  And he is a foe that God is going to send to hell forever.   We are to resist him and he flees.  We do not talk him down we are to let Jesus do that.  Jesus is the one he beat him when he rose from the dead. 

So the devil ask eve Did God say.  He is trying to do what he does best and that is to question the Lord and what he tells us to do. 


And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of 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.’” Then the serpent said to the woman, [1]“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.”

Eve bites and she begins to talk to Satan.  My advice to you, never mess with the devil.  Stay away from evil in everything you do.  He takes the word and twists it and makes it fit his plans.  Did is in the time of Jesus and he does it today.  False teachers are doing this and we bite into it.  Eve adds to the word and said the fruit is not to be touched.  So the devil said a lie that it does not cause death.  No just a little sin is not going to hurt us.  That little lie or that little candy is not a big deal.  But it is a major deal if you steal or lie.  It is sin and sin leads to death.  Satan then said no she is not going to die and with that lie Eve took and ate.  She sinned thus sin is now on earth and God is going to deal with it. 

1COR The serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness. GEN 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. 1TIM The woman being deceived, fell into transgression; GEN she also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
Then [2]the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings. And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

So she ate the apple and gives it to Adam and he ate it too.  Then they see hey they are naked?  They made something to cover themselves.  But God asked them who told them they are nude.  Is this GUILT?  God is now walking and they hid from God because they know they are not going to like the Lord when he finds out they are sinners.  
\
Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, [3]“Where are you?”  So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.” And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?” Then the man said, [4]“The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.” 

God asked where they are and then they are found out.  God is offended and mad. 


JAS Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, [5]brings forth death.

1 Sin is your fault.  Nobodys else did it you did.  God is going to hold you accountable.
2 One sin costs you death and God cannot look at you in sin.  So something has to be done.  Jesus is a thing but I am not going to cure this in one blog but we are going to take a look at what this did.  Its not good.

Here is a sermon to read on hell. 




[1] You will not surely die. Satan, emboldened by her openness to him, spoke this direct lie. This lie actually led her and Adam to spiritual death (separation from God). So, Satan is called a liar and murderer from the beginning (John 8:44). His lies always promise great benefits (as in v. 5). Eve experienced this result—she and Adam did know good and evil; but by personal corruption, they did not know as God knows in perfect holiness.

[2] the eyes of both of them were opened. The innocence noted in 2:25 had been replaced by guilt and shame (vv. 8–10), and from then on they had to rely on their conscience to distinguish between good and their newly acquired capacity to see and know evil.

[3] “Where are you?” The question was God’s way of bringing man to explain why he was hiding, rather than expressing ignorance about man’s location. Shame, remorse, confusion, guilt, and fear all led to their clandestine behavior. There was no place to hide; there never is (cf. Ps. 139:1–12). Adam’s sin was evidenced by his new knowledge of the evil of nakedness, but God still waited for Adam to confess to what God knew they had done. The basic reluctance of sinful people to admit their iniquity is here established. Repentance is still the issue. When sinners refuse to repent, they suffer judgment; when they do repent, they receive forgiveness.

[4] The woman whom You gave. Adam pitifully put the responsibility on God for giving him Eve. That only magnified the tragedy in that Adam had knowingly transgressed God’s prohibition, but still would not be open and confess his sin, taking full responsibility for his action, which was not made under deception (1 Tim. 2:14).

[5] brings forth death. Sin is not merely a spontaneous act, but the result of a process. The Greek words for “has conceived” and “brings forth” liken the process to physical conception and birth. Thus James personifies temptation and shows that it can follow a similar sequence and produce sin with all its deadly results. While sin does not result in spiritual death for the believer (because he or she has been forgiven), it can lead to physical death (1 Cor. 11:30; 1 John 5:16). In the Fall of Genesis 3, the result of Adam’s sin brought both physical and spiritual death to the entire human race (cf. Romans 5:12–21).
