11 - Les Feldick Bible Study Lesson 3 - Part 3 - Book 1 - The Lie

http://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com LESSON 3* PART 3 * BOOK 1 Genesis 2:8 – 3:8 If you remember, we were looking at the set of circumstances that Eve had to face. I John 2:16a People are too proud to admit that they need anything that God has to give them. The lust of the eye and the pride of life. I said the Lord Jesus faced those same set of three circumstances. Matthew 4:1-2 Hungry!) So from His human side He was hungry. So what’s the temptation? Matthew 4:3 "And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, (here again, he’s trying to even plant doubt in the mind of the Lord Jesus. IF, If thou be) command that these stones be made bread." Matthew 4:4 "But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." What’s the lesson? There is only one way that we can defeat Satan and that is with the Word of God! Now, Satan isn’t satisfied. Matthew 4:5 Verse 6. Matthew 4:6 "And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, (See again that taunt? IF you’re who you say you are.) Satan knows this. Matthew 4:7 "Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God." He again quotes the Scripture. Satan still doesn’t give up. Remember, this is the time of the Roman Empire. The pride of life. Matthew 4:9 "And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me." Again verse 10: Matthew 4:10 "Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve." He quoted Scripture. We go to the Word of God for our strength! That gives time for Adam to come on the scene. She has already eaten, as I pointed out in the last lesson, she must have been alone when Satan approached her, and caught her in that moment of weakness. Let’s read on. So to Timothy in verse 13 of chapter 2, Paul writes: "For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14. And Adam was not deceived,..." Eve was caught in a moment of weakness. What has my beautiful creature wife done? Exodus 21:1 Verse 2: Exodus 21:2 Verse 3: Exodus 21:3 Exodus 21:4a "If his master have given him a wife, (He came into servitude single, but in that period of time, that six years, he got married.) and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master’s,..." Always remember, Paul writes in Romans 15 all these things happened unto them, that is the Old Testament people, for our learning. Now this particular circumstance, I think, God instituted because it fits so beautifully with Adam and Christ. Exodus 21:4b-5 5. And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free;" Got the picture? Now verse 6. If after verse 5 where he says I will not go out because I love my wife. I love my children: Exodus 21:6 The rest of his life.) Turn back to the New Testament in Philippians Remember that we said that God extended His love to the human race with the idea that He expected love in return. Philippians 2:5 "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:" Now here is the mind ascribed to God the Son. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus: Philippians 2:6 "Who, (speaking of Jesus) being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God:" Verse 7. Even though He was God. servant,..." Then verse 8: Philippians 2:8 "And being found in fashion as a man, (condescending to become a man. The very Creator God Himself. The death) of the cross." God didn’t have to redeem us. Now let’s go back to Genesis chapter 3 where we find that Adam, even though he loved his Creator. This beautiful help meet that God had given him! So what I think, more than his open rebellion against God, I don’t think Adam became viciously adamant. In our next lesson, we will show as soon as Adam ate, immediately, the process of death began in his physical being. At the same moment, his soul; that mind, will and emotion part of him, that personality part of Adam, immediately became a sin nature. It immediately took on a sinful rebellious attitude against God. We are sinners because we are children of Adam." See? #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
