BIL Lesson 3
“Man’s Treason and Results”
· What was the nature of man’s first sin?= High Treason
o Treason- overthrowing the boss
· Who was given authority over all the earth?= man
· Who did man give that authority to?= Satan
· Why didn’t God just take the authority away from Satan immediately?= He is perfectly just and he legally gave the authority over the earth to mankind, so he could not take it back or he would not be a perfectly just God.
o Luke 4:6-7 Temptation of Jesus “To thee will I give all this authority, and the glory of them; for it hath been delivered unto me, and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou wilt worship before me, it shall be all thine.”
o How do we know Satan wasn’t lying?= If Satan was lying, it wasn’t a real temptation.
· Why did Satan tempt Adam and Eve?= He hated God and wanted to do what would most hurt him which was separate mankind from God.
· Adam’s Sin of High Treason resulted in Spiritual _______ =Death
· Spiritual Death= being separated from God and united with Satan.
· Three kinds of Death= physical death, spiritual death, second death (hell)
· When God warned Adam and Eve “If you eat of the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil” you shall die, what did he mean? Die Spiritually
· When Adam “died” his body and the whole earth “died” with him because he was in charge of the earth.
o God was like the power that ran everything: When you plug in your phone you can use it endlessly, when you unplug it, it lasts for a while, but it eventually dies. Have you ever tried to use your phone on really low battery? It starts to glitch. When we “unplugged” from God, we started dying and malfunctioning. Our bodies, minds, and hearts got sicker. As a result, the world around us got more and more broken over the years because we were never meant to be “unplugged” from our Father God.
