As we begin the process of journaling, we came to learn how everything hinges (remember the door example, hinges hold the door together) on chapter 3. Because of sin, we have been separated from God. It says in Genesis 3:3 that if you eat from the tree you will "die." Meaning that you will be separated from God. The death that we suffer is a separation of God and the loss of a perfect relationship with Him. We all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) and that God is reconciling (makes right) us.
With all that said:
Respond to one of these questions (You don't have to respond to all, just one)
1) How does it feel to know that everything you do is not perfect?
For a lot of us we like to think that we are "good" people, that we have it all together.
But to understand that we are not as good as we think we are is a hard thing to deal with.
2) Where do you see yourself in the garden?
With Eve, grabbing the fruit and wanting to be like God? Or with Adam, following along and doing what others tell you.
Remember, you have to respond to one of these questions as well as someone else comment.
