Study 3 GENESIS 3 Man's disobedience and what followed In order to understand our human condition now, we have to look back to Genesis 3, and the account of how sin (disobedience to God) entered human experience. Since then, it's as if sin got into the very bloodstream of humanity and has been passed down to every generation since. It,s important for us to understand that we don't become sinners when we start to do wrong, but rather that we start to do wrong because we are sinners. {A}Summarise in your own words the origin of sin and separation from God, as though you were explaining it to an unbeliever. Notice how the consequences of sin quickly work themselves out. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
