Adam and Eve didn’t fall because they were weak

 

Adam and Eve didn’t fall because they were weak. They fell because they believed a lie about God.

“Did God really say…?”

That was the first sermon of hell.

And humanity has been repeating it ever since.

We still reach for fruit that isn’t ours.

Still question what God clearly said.

Still believe freedom lives on the other side of obedience.

Adam blamed Eve.

Eve blamed the serpent.

And we still blame everyone but ourselves.

But here’s the part we forget:

Even after rebellion…

Even after shame…

Even after hiding…

God came walking in the garden.

Not with annihilation.

With confrontation.

With mercy wrapped in judgment.

And before they ever left Eden…

God covered their nakedness with sacrifice.

Blood was shed so shame could be hidden.

Genesis doesn’t just tell us how we fell.

It whispers how we’d be saved.

Because the whole story of Scripture is this:

We reached for a tree that brought death. So God hung on a tree to bring life.

You are not modern.

You are Genesis repeating itself.

And the same God still walks toward sinners who are hiding in gardens.
