Fall Into Sin

Good morning,morning worship, how are you? Feel good! That's good either I'm feeling good this morning.

Before doing our activity or make plan for weekend. Let's we are praying first. That's the way to close to God.

The topic about our morning worship "The first human, God created who fell into sin".

Before we started. We read this first (The Bible, of course) Genesis 3:

Adam and Eve Fall Into Sin

The serpent was more clever than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. The serpent said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat the fruit of any tree that is in the garden'?"

2 The woman said to the serpent, "We can eat the fruit of the trees that are in the garden. 3 But God did say, 'You must not eat the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden. Do not even touch it. If you do, you will die.'"

4 "You can be sure that you won't die," the serpent said to the woman. 5 "God knows that when you eat the fruit of that tree, you will know things you have never known before. You will be able to tell the difference between good and evil. You will be like God."

6 The woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good to eat. It was also pleasing to look at. And it would make a person wise. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her. And he ate it.

7 Then both of them knew things they had never known before. They realized they were naked. So they sewed fig leaves together and made clothes for themselves. 8 Then the man and his wife heard the LORD God walking in the garden. It was the coolest time of the day. They hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden.

9 But the LORD God called out to the man. "Where are you?" he asked. 10 "I heard you in the garden," the man answered. "I was afraid. I was naked, so I hid."

11 The LORD God said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten the fruit of the tree I commanded you not to eat?" 12 The man said, "It was the woman you put here with me. She gave me some fruit from the tree. And I ate it."

13 Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What have you done?" The woman said, "The serpent tricked me. That's why I ate the fruit."

14 So the LORD God spoke to the serpent. He said, "Because you have done this, 16 The LORD God said to the woman, 17 The LORD God said to Adam, "You listened to your wife. You ate the fruit of the tree that I commanded you about. I said, 'You must not eat its fruit.' 20 Adam named his wife Eve. She would become the mother of every living person.

21 The LORD God made clothes out of animal skins for Adam and his wife to wear. 22 The LORD God said, "The man has become like one of us. He can now tell the difference between good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and pick fruit from the tree of life and eat it. If he does, he will live forever."

23 So the LORD God drove the man out of the Garden of Eden to work the ground he had been made out of. 24 The LORD God drove him out and then placed cherubim on the east side of the Garden of Eden. He also placed a flaming sword there. It flashed back and forth. The cherubim and the sword guarded the way to the tree of life.

That's chapter already clear about history why Adam and Eve fell into sin and How God still care of them.

Maybe in your head many questions and I will take one question. Question: "If God knew that Satan would
rebel and Adam and Eve would sin, why did He create them?"

Answer: This is a two-part question. The first part is "Did God know Satan would rebel and Adam and Eve would sin?" The answer lies in what the Bible teaches about God's knowledge. We know from Scripture that God is omniscient, which literally means "all-knowing." Job 37:16; Psalm 139:2-4, 147:5; Proverbs 5:21; Isaiah 46:9-10; and 1 John 3:19-20 leave no doubt that God's knowledge is infinite and that He knows everything that has happened in the past, is happening now, and will happen in the future.

Looking at some of the superlatives in these verses—"perfect in knowledge"; "his understanding has no limit"; "he knows everything"—it is clear that God's knowledge is not merely greater than our own, but it is infinitely greater. He knows all things in totality. Isaiah 46:10 declares He not only knows everything, but He controls everything as well. How else could He "make known" to us what would happen in the future and state unequivocally that His plans will come to pass?

So, did God know that Adam and Eve were going to sin? Did He know Lucifer would rebel against Him and become Satan? Yes! Absolutely! Were they out of His control at any time? Absolutely not. If God's knowledge is not perfect, then there is a deficiency in His nature. Any deficiency in God's nature means He cannot be God, for God's very essence requires the perfection of all His attributes. Therefore, the answer to the first question must, by necessity, be "yes."

Moving on to the second part of the question, "Why did God create Satan and Adam and Eve knowing ahead of time they were going to sin?" This question is a little trickier because we are asking a "why" question to which the Bible does not usually provide comprehensive answers.

Despite that, we should be able to come to a limited understanding if we examine some biblical passages. To begin, we have already seen that God is omniscient and nothing can happen outside of His knowledge. So, if God knew that Satan would rebel and fall from heaven and that Adam and Eve would sin, yet He created them anyway, it must mean that the fall of mankind was part of God's sovereign plan from the beginning. No other answer makes sense given what we have been saying thus far.

Now we must be careful to note that Adam and Eve falling into sin does not mean that God is the author of sin, nor that he tempted Adam and Eve to sin ( James 1:13). The fall serves the purpose of God's overall plan for creation and mankind. This, again, must be the case, or else the fall of mankind would never have happened.

If we consider what some theologians call the "meta-narrative" (or overarching story line) of Scripture, we see that biblical history can be roughly divided into three main sections: 1) paradise (Genesis 1–2); 2) paradise lost (Genesis
3 – Revelation 20); and 3) paradise regained (Revelation 21–22). By far the largest part of the narrative is devoted to moving from paradise lost to paradise regained. At the center of this meta-narrative is the cross. The cross was planned from the very beginning ( Acts 2:23). It was foreknown and foreordained that Christ would go to the cross and give His life as a ransom for many ( Matthew 20:28)—those chosen by God's foreknowledge and predestined to be His people ( Ephesians 1:4-5).

Reading Scripture very carefully and taking what has been said so far, we are led to the following

conclusions:
1. The rebellion of Satan and the fall of mankind were foreknown and foreordained by God.
2. Those who would become the people of God, the elect, were foreknown and foreordained by God.
3. The crucifixion of Christ, as atonement for God's people, was foreknown and foreordained by God. So, we are left with the following questions: Why create mankind with the knowledge of the fall?

Why create mankind knowing that only some would be "saved?" Why send Jesus knowingly to die for a people that knowingly fell into sin? From man's perspective, it does not make sense. If the meta-narrative moves. from paradise, to paradise lost, to paradise regained, why not just go straight to paradise regained and avoid the whole paradise lost interlude?

The only conclusion we can come to, in view of the above assertions, is that God's purpose was to create a world in which His glory could be manifest in all its fullness. The glory of God is the overarching goal of creation. In fact, it is the overarching goal of everything He does. The universe was created to display God's glory ( Psalm 19:1), and the wrath of God is revealed against those who fail to glorify God (Romans 1:23). Our sin causes us to fall short of God's glory (Romans 3:23), and in the new heaven and new earth, the glory of God is what will provide light ( Revelation 21:23). The glory of God is manifest when His attributes are on perfect display, and the story of redemption is part of that.

The best place to see this in Scripture is Romans 9:19-24. Wrath and mercy display the riches of God's glory, and you cannot get either without the fall of mankind. Therefore, all of these actions—fall, election, redemption, atonement—serve the purpose of glorifying God. When man fell into sin, God's mercy was immediately displayed in not killing him on the spot. God's patience and forbearance were also on display as mankind fell deeper into sin prior to the flood. God's justice and wrath were on display as He executed judgment during the flood, and God's mercy and grace were demonstrated as He saved Noah and his family. God's wrath and justice will be revealed in the future when He deals with Satan once and for all ( Revelation 20:7-10). The ultimate exhibition of God's glory was at the cross where His wrath, justice, and mercy met.

The righteous judgment of all sin was executed at the cross, and God's grace was on display in pouring His wrath for sin on His Son, Jesus, instead of on us. God's love and grace are on display in those whom He has saved (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8-9). In the end, God will be glorified as His chosen people worship Him for all eternity with the angels, and the wicked will also glorify God as His justice and righteousness will finally be vindicated by the eternal punishment of all unrepentant sinners ( Philippians 2:11). None of this could have come to pass without the rebellion of Satan and the fall of Adam and Eve.

The classic objection to this position is that God's foreknowledge and foreordination of the fall damages man's freedom. In other words, if God created mankind with full knowledge of the impending fall into sin, how can man be responsible for his sin? The best answer to this question can be found in the Westminster

Confession of Faith chapter III:
"God, from all eternity, did, by the most wise and holy counsel of his own will, freely, and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass; yet so, as thereby neither is God the author of sin, nor is violence offered to the will of the creatures; nor is the liberty or contingency of second causes taken away, but rather established" (WFC, III.1)

What this is saying is that God ordains future events in such a way that our freedom and the working of secondary causes (e.g., laws of nature) are preserved. Theologians call this "concurrence." God's sovereign will flows concurrently with our free choices in such a way that our free choices always result in the carrying out of God's will (by "free choices" we mean that our choices are not coerced by outside influences).

To summarize, God knew that Satan would rebel and that Adam and Eve would sin in the Garden of Eden. With that knowledge, God still created Lucifer and Adam and Eve because creating them and ordaining the fall was part of His sovereign plan to manifest His glory in all its fullness. Even though the fall was foreknown and foreordained, our freedom in making choices is not violated because our free choices are the means by which God's will is carried out.
