Part I: 1-11
Lesson 14: Nature of Sin
Genesis 3
1Now the serpent was more subtil than
any beast of the field which the LORD God
had made.
II Corinthians 11
3But I fear, lest by any means, as the
serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty …
The serpent was crafty.
The serpent was a serpent.
Why do we call him Satan?
Revelation 12
9And the great dragon was cast out, that
old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan,
which deceiveth the whole world: …
Satan is an old serpent.
Satan is crafty.
John 8
44Ye are of your father the devil … He was
a murderer from the beginning … When he
speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for
he is a liar, and the father of it.
Satan is an old serpent.
Satan is crafty.
Satan murdered in the beginning.
Satan invented the lie.
Satan is the serpent created by God.
Ezekiel 28
12Son of man, take up a lamentation upon
the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, “Thus
saith the Lord GOD; ‘Thou sealest up the
sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
The King of Tyre was not perfect, wise,
and beautiful, but his position is
analogous to one who was.
Physical attraction may be used as
deception.
Proverbs 6
23For the commandment is a lamp; and
the law is light; and reproofs of instruction
are the way of life:
24to keep thee from the evil woman, from
the flattery of the tongue of a strange
woman.
25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart;
neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
Educational exercise guards against
beautiful deception.
Isaiah 53
2… He hath no form nor comeliness; and
when we shall see him, there is no beauty
that we should desire him.
3He is despised and rejected of men; a
man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief:
The appearance of Jesus did not enhance His message.
The king of Tyre used his appearance
to influence others..
Ezekiel 28
13Thou hast been in Eden the garden of
God … in the day that thou wast created.
14Thou art the anointed cherub that
covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast
upon the holy mountain of God;
The King of Tyre was like a perfect
creature in the Garden of Eden.
The King of Tyre was like an angel
over the ark of the covenant and one
who gave the law to Moses.
Galatians 3
19Wherefore then serveth the law? It was
added because of transgressions, till the
seed should come to whom the promise
was made; and it was ordained by angels
in the hand of a mediator.
sin → law → seed
Acts 7
53who have received the law by the
disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
Hebrews 2
2For if the word spoken by angels was
stedfast and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence …
3how shall we escape, if we neglect so
great salvation; which at the first began to
be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed
unto us by them that heard him;
4God also bearing them witness, both
with signs and wonders, and with divers
miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost …?
Ezekiel 28
15Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the
day that thou wast created, till iniquity was
found in thee.
The King of Tyre is like an angel in
the garden of Eden who sinned.
II Peter 2
4… God spared not the angels that sinned,
but cast them down to hell, and delivered
them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
Demons are chained in prison, but
sometimes are allowed on earth.
Revelation 20
1And I saw an angel come down from
heaven, having the key of the bottomless
pit and a great chain in his hand.
2And he laid hold on the dragon, that old
serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan …
3… that he should deceive the nations no
more … after that he must be loosed a little
season.
Satan may use any part of nature.
The agent Satan uses is culpable.
John 13
27And after the sop Satan entered into
him. Then said Jesus unto him, “That thou
doest, do quickly.”
John 17
12… those that Thou gavest Me I have
kept, and none of them is lost, but the son
of perdition …
Satan may use disease.
Satan may use politics.
Job 2
7So went Satan forth from the presence of
the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils
from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
Luke 13
16And ought not this woman … whom
Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years,
be loosed from this bond …?
I Chronicles 21
1And Satan stood up against Israel, and
provoked David to number Israel.
14So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel:
and there fell of Israel seventy thousand
men.
17And David said unto God, ”Is it not I that
commanded the people to be numbered?
Even I it is that have sinned and done evil
indeed; but as for these sheep, what have
they done? …”
Romans 5
12Wherefore, as by one man sin entered
into the world, and death by sin; and so
death passed upon all men …
14… even over them that had not sinned
after the similitude of Adam’s transgression
18… even so by the righteousness of one
the free gift came upon all men unto
justification of life.
Adam brought death by sin.
Christ brought life by obedience.
Wages of Sin
1. Serpent must slither.
2. Christ must sacrifice.
Genesis 3
14And the LORD God said unto the serpent,
“Because thou hast done this, thou art
cursed above all cattle, and above every
beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou
go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of
thy life:
Wages of Sin
1. Serpent must slither.
2. Christ must sacrfice.
Genesis 3
15and I will put enmity between thee and
the woman, and between thy seed and her
seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou
shalt bruise his heel.
The woman’s seed will bruise Satan,
the head of the serpent.
Wages of Sin
1. Serpent must slither.
2. Christ must sacrifice.
Who is the woman’s seed?
Galatians 4
4but when the fulness of the time was
come, God sent forth his Son, made of a
woman, made under the law,
Wages of Sin
1. Serpent must slither.
2. Christ must sacrifice.
Who is the woman’s seed? The church.
Revelation 12
17And the dragon was wroth with
woman, and went to make war with
remnant of her seed, which keep
commandments of God, and have
testimony of Jesus Christ.

Wages of Sin
1. Serpent must slither.
2. Christ must sacrifice.
3. Women must submit.
Romans 16
20And the God of peace shall bruise Satan
under your feet shortly. …
Wages of Sin
1. Serpent must slither.
2. Christ must sacrifice.
3. Women must submit.
Genesis 3
16Unto the woman He said, “I will greatly
multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in
sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and
thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he
shall rule over thee.”
Wages of Sin
1. Serpent must slither.
2. Christ must sacrifice.
3. Women must submit.
I Timothy 2
12But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor
to usurp authority over the man, but to be
in silence.
13For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
Wages of Sin
1. Serpent must slither.
2. Christ must sacrifice.
3. Women must submit.
I Timothy 2
14And Adam was not deceived, but the
woman being deceived was in the transgression.
Wages of Sin
1. Serpent must slither.
2. Christ must sacrifice.
3. Women must submit.
Genesis 3
12And the man said, “The woman whom
Thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of
the tree, and I did eat.”
13… And the woman said, “The serpent
beguiled me, and I did eat.”
Wages of Sin
1. Serpent must slither.
2. Christ must sacrifice.
3. Women must submit.
4. Man must sweat.
Genesis 3
19In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat
bread, till thou return unto the ground; for
out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art,
and unto dust shalt thou return.
II Thessalonians 3
10For even when we were with you, this
we commanded you, that if any would not
work, neither should he eat.
I Timothy 5
8But if any provide not for his own, and
specially for those of his own house, he
hath denied the faith, and is worse than an
infidel.
To not work is to not believe.
Sweat from work and not from worry.
Matthew 6
31… take no thought, saying, “What shall
we eat?” or, “What shall we drink?” or,
“Wherewithal shall we be clothed?”
33But seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and His righteousness; and all these things
shall be added unto you.
Putting the kingdom first involves
working, which provides necessities.
Life vs. Death
Genesis 3
2And the woman said unto the serpent,
“We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the
garden:
3but of the fruit of the tree which is in the
midst of the garden, God hath said, ‘Ye
shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it,
lest ye die.’ “
The tree of death was in the middle
of the garden, next to the tree of life.
Life vs. Death
Genesis 2
9… the tree of life also in the midst of the
garden, and the tree of knowledge of good
and evil.
God has given man the option of life
or death.
Life vs. Death
Deuteronomy 30
19I call heaven and earth to record this
day against you, that I have set before you
life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy
seed may live:
Jeremiah 21
8And unto this people thou shalt say,
“Thus saith the LORD; ‘Behold, I set before
you the way of life, and the way of death.’ “
