  • Q. Did our first parents remain as they were created?
  • A. Left to the freedom of their own wills, our first parents sinned against God and fell from their original condition.

Memory Verse(s)

  • Bible Story: Genesis 3

Thoughts

  • The story of creation and the fall proves that the heart of man is completely depraved and utterly dependent upon the grace of God in order to please God.
  • Adam and Eve as record in Genesis were created without sin. They lacked a sin nature unlike you and I. Even though they lacked a sin nature their hearts were still eager to turn from their Creature and peruse the passions of self.
  • The story of Adam and Eve proves that the heart of man even when created without sin is completely depraved and can do nothing that pleases God.

Discussion Questions

  • Adam and Eve were created perfect with no sin in their lives. They were told they could do anything except eat the fruit of one tree. Given enough time what happed?
  • What does this tell us about man’s heart and our ability to obey God?
  • Can mankind on their own obey God? Explain
  • What tactic did the serpent use to tempt Eve into eating the fruit (Gen 3:1-5)?
  • Was their evil before the Adam and Eve (Gen 3:5)?
  • Adam and Eve thought God was holding things back from them, particularly the “knowledge of good and evil.” Was God keeping something from man? Explain.
  • What were the various ways Eve was tempted (Gen 3:6)? Explain
  • Are you tempted to sin in the same type of ways?
  • God knew Adam and Eve ate of the tree but He still asked them if they did. Why did God ask them?
  • When confronted about their sin. Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed the serpent. Instead of blaming others for our sins what should we do? Explain.

Means of Grace

If you are paying attention, you’ve probably noticed a theme in the catechism questions that we have been memorizing over the past few weeks. All of the questions are centered upon the means of grace.

Q: What are the outward and ordinary means whereby Christ communicates to us the benefits of redemption?

A: The outward and ordinary means whereby Christ communicates to us the benefits of redemption are His ordinances, especially the Word, Baptism, the Lord’s Supper and Prayer; all which are made effectual to the elect for salvation.

Q: What makes the word effective for salvation?

A: The spirit of God causes the reading and especially the preaching of the word to convince and convert sinners and to build them up in holiness and comfort through faith to salvation.

Q: How is the word to be read and heard in order to become effective for salvation?

A: For the word to become effective for salvation, we must pay careful attention to it, prepare ourselves, and pray for understanding. We must also receive it with faith and love, treasure it in our hearts, and practice it in our lives.

Q: How do Baptism and the Lord’s Supper become effectual means of salvation?

A: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper become effectual means of salvation, not from any virtue in them or in him that administers them, but only by the blessing of Christ and the working of His Spirit in them that by faith receive them.
