Genesis 3-5 The Consequences of Disobedience

Yesterday we read about the glory of God in creation and were overwhelmed by His goodness and beauty. Today what was beautiful is marred by the disobedience of one followed by the disobedience of another and so on and on. 

The voice of the serpent captivated Eve and she succumbed. So too with us when we succumb to his voice. When the serpent comes to us, do we stop and ask, is it truthful? Is it beautiful? The serpent said what God had said was not true. That is his way and the consequences are separation from God. 

Whose voice do I/we listen to? When we finished Revelation we read: “Then I heard the altar reply, “Yes, Lord God, the All-Powerful, your judgments are true and just!” [Rev 16:7] What John wrote centuries ago and what Genesis tells that God is truth and that has not changed.
